The Replacements - Bastards Of Young




and while we're on the subject let's listen to one of my favorite songs, you know it would have been nice to show you the video, which is top notch, but the dinosaurs of the fucking music industry, Sire and Warner Bros. won't let me, hence why i hope they fucking fade into oblivion while all those independent labels i love so much put them out of business, kinda like how i hope all the big box stores give up selling music so i can still walk into an independent store like Championship Vinyl or Paul's in Bloomfield and buy my music from people who actually like music and there won't be a fucking Lady Gaga or Nickelback record in fucking sight... and though i'm a bit late today was Independent Record Store Day, and yes i went and bought a few things but the thing that pleased me most was how crowded the place was every time i went by it, days like this help keep these stores going and you can snag some pretty cool shit in the process as bands release new and limited edition music just to the indie stores, by the way this fucking blogger upgrade sucks left hind teet, thanks you fucking tech wizards, i'm off to the couch.

Twin- did you watch the trailer? we're getting a whole documentary on the 'Mats, it's like they finally get their due about 20 years to late, i'm guessing Mr. Westerberg is grinning at the irony of it all.

Just got a look at the trailers. I feels like a secret society being revealed.

Did you know that Dan Zanes of The Del Fuegos is now an uber-successful entertainer of children? He makes pop records for kiddies. It's true! And more power to him, I say.

I only know about the Replacements because I know about Say Anything, and so yeah. Thank god for movie soundtracks, right?

The best thing about the Replacements is that all modern rock crap sounds like them, but not nearly as good.

Someday we're going to get another genre of music, and with it we'll get a new sound, and then I can pretend I was there at the birtch of a movement instead of the death of it.
