Thanks for that DS. Unfortunately I am not a SoundCloud client. When will these tunes be available on plastic compact disc EPs, which is the preferred format for those of my un-hep persuasion. For that I would kindly send a PayPal renumerance of Irish punts or flaming Malian brisquettes. Whichever you'd prefer.

I don't always listen to punk, but when I do, I prefer Dead Milkmen. Stay thirsty, my friends.

You do not need an account to listen to the tracks on SoundCloud. They will play in your web browser.

Of course all the studio versions of the tracks are available for purchase on the webstore:

Thanks Dean and the rest of the Milkmen for making these demos available to all of us! It's nice to get an insight as to how the latest tracks evolved.

Pardon me, but aren't the demos supposed to be released 30 years after the original album onto a remastered version of the CD, to milk the poor CD/album buying saps. Aren't you going about this the wrong way round?

For example I just bought a remastered copy of David Byrne & Brian Eno's My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts for a premium price. I already own the original version. But I forked over some additional dough to get the new CD with the extra tracks that weren't good enough for the original release...but which I enjoy now. And David & Brian made a few yuan out of the transaction too. I would rather purchase these demos in ten years. And it would mean more guilders for your grandchildren. I would love to purchase a your full length CD right now, sans demos.

The way you are going about it is like a goddamned bunch of hippies! What with their free love and demos. Do you follow? Giving it away means you are so flush with money now that you won't need any later. Things like free demos are what's ruining music today. If I was a hep twenty-something I would wait until all the tracks are out and then get them for squat. Why buy...

Am I a sucker for buying the actual CDs with inserts? Maybe so.

I don't always listen to punk, but when I do, I prefer Dead Milkmen. Stay thirsty, my friends.
