I've been on a huge Replacements kick the last few months. I recently finished the communally-written biography It's All Over But The Shouting and then, shortly after, saw Deer Tick perform "Can't Hardly Wait" in concert. The Mats never made it big, but their influence still abounds. After getting a hold of all the bootlegs and EPs this past weekend (Shit, Shower & Shave, Inconcerated, Shit Hit...

The title pretty much says it all. Everyone’s favorite online indie music store, Insound, just announced that they’ll be re-releasing some pretty classic 7″ singles on vinyl. The two titles that have been re-released are The Ramones’ California Sun EP and The Replacements’ I’ll Be You. You guys should hurry to pick these up, because [...]

Replacements bassist Tommy Stinson has told Billboard that it's time to close the book on the group.Per Stinson, with the latest reissue releases on Rhino of the band's catalog, there is little left in the archives including a much called for live album. "It's not on the table. I don't think we've got the quality takes. I think the best live record we could make is to gather up all the bootle...

I am a video game junkie. I have been one for quite some time and still remember going to buy Maze Craze for the Atari 2600 with my allowance money back in 1978. Through the years gaming systems have come out, and each time I made the trip to the store in order to get my new fix. Something about losing yourself in your own little world has always appealed to me, and when Guitar Hero came out f...

I know. I'm nearly 25 years late. I missed the bus but I'm unsatisfied. Yesterday I said to myself, "I'll buy a remastered copy of The Replacements Let It Be - one of the most critically acclaimed independent albums of all time." I literally said that to myself and everyone at Newbury Comics kind of tweaked their heads like I was a little left of the dial. I've had the Warner Brothers rel...

Music as a whole has a way of making people happy. There are times when you hear a song however and it just seems that much more of an enjoyment. I was thinking of the best places to hear a song you love, but have it be completely unexpected. Here's what I thought up.10. On the radio - This happens most often, it’s why it’s at number 10.9. On your Ipod - The song you forgot was there, happines

I was just flipping through stations on my tele, and saw that Not Another Teen Movie was on. It brought back a nagging question that has bothered me for years. There is a quote in the film that goes, "You can't look back, you can never look back". I know I have heard this before, and feel its from a song. It kills me that its right on the tip of my brain, and I still cant figure it out. So, if ...

MP3: The Replacements - Alex ChiltonMP3: The Replacements - Nightclub JittersI'd say we're long overdue for a post, don't you think? With the stress of the holidays, a broken computer and drowning at work, I fell behind and I am sorry. We're beyond looking back at a year that was and totally into looking forward at the year that's yet to be. With 2009 started up, I figured what a time to say he...

It seems magazines love to put out lists like they are going out of style. Best of, worst of, cutest hair, e.t.c. Rolling Stone just put out a list of the 25 Most Underappreciated Artists ever. While most of this lists I see are ones that I would soon forget, this one actually is one I can agree with. It seems that the magazine got the insite of the fans, and came through with 25 solid choices....
