And they even grab a stage diver and have a quick chat with him. What a treat! Watch:

The Dead Milkmen also announced that they’re working on a new album, and they played a couple songs off it (including one about vegan and suspected terrorist Caitlin Childs), and they were good.

They mentioned excitement over Odd Future several times.

UPDATE: Faithful reader Herr Doktor Professor Deth Vegetable made a correction in the comments:

They RELEASED a new album TODAY. Check out:

Vic is currently in Vietnam, and he’s finding it to be a lot like home: hipsters on mopeds, graffiti, cute dogs, cute fruit, lots of Asians, girl shoplifters with crummy attitudes, ping pong, bike problems, etc.

Follow him already!

Doc Pop is onto some next-level shit right here. He calls it “wiggle stereoscopy.” We call it SWAG.

He’s got a couple more, and details on the process, here.

Jeremy tells us via Twitter:

Thanks, Jeremy.

They’re coming to Gilman next month! Oh Sees are opening! Pencil it in!

Nobody makes me want to dance as much as they do. Nobody makes me forget my troubles the way they do. I see them all the time, and every time is pure joy. Thanks, Oh Sees!

It was cool to see them play today in a megatent packed to the gills with people. Everybody seemed to dig it, especially the kids in the pit.

Note: If the pit area is an actual pit full of soft dusty dirt, and you spend a whole Oh Sees show in the pit, you will become dirt. You cry dirt, you snot dirt, you spit dirt — you bleed dirt.

Yeah, Shilpa Ray. The Shilpa Ray we mentioned the other day! I told you she was going places. Today was just her second performance with the band, and she nailed it. (I think. I left after three or four songs to go back down the hill for the Oh Sees.)

!!! were bomb as usual.

I saw this guy’s shirt and ran up to him, screaming, “I LOVE FORLORN CANDY CORN!”

I explained that I was a fan of the wheatpastes and whatnot we see around SF (and elsewhere) from time to time, and he explained that they’re all done by a dude from Austin (which we already knew I guess), and that a local Austin company called Industry decided to throw it on a t-shirt. Bomb.

What a cute couple though, right? I think we’d just watched Ted Leo and were getting ready to head up the hill for !!!.
