Milo Auckerman (The Descendents) Does Rare Interview

Milo Auckerman of The Descendents has done a rare interview with Medicinal Relevance For You. In it, he covers a lot of topics including the iconic Milo Goes To College artwork:

It was Bill’s idea.  By the time recording started, he already knew I was off to college in a few months, so he hit upon the MGTC concept.  (As a joke, he also called the record “Milo Jumps Ship!”)  We contacted a friend of ours, Jeff Atkinson, to do the drawing.  He based it on a cartoon figure that another friend, Rodger Deuerlein, used to draw in high school for laughs (something like “The Misadventures of Milo”).

He also commented on the band’s future touring plans:

The idea is to NOT halt my career at all; I have no plans to “go on tour” per se.  The Australian shows are what I would call “one-off,” and that’s likely the only way the Descendents will operate from now on (i.e. occasional shows here and there).  Currently, we are “cramming for the exam,” getting ready for the Aussie shows.  For me, the most important thing is strengthening my voice so I don’t blow it out after the first show.  Going home early would totally suck.
