Well, I ain't been around much either. Been hanging out with my girlfriend, and trying to live a semi-healthy lifestyle for a change. I even quit smoking. ...
I couldn't agree with the previous post more. I just want to puke sometimes knowing that godawful "musicians" like Matchbox 20 and Stone Temple Pilots are ...
If so, I thought one of us might tell the story of the Mats' infamous December 1987 show at the Pine St. Theatre (the show that inspired "Portland", the one...
All right, then here goes. The Mats ended the '87 PTMM tour in a venue they had played in July: Portland's Pine St. Theatre. Judging from Napster/boot evidence...
There were also great versions of "Hold My Life," "I Will Dare," "Bastards of Young," "Nightclub Jitters" (an '87 tour highlight, with Paul stepping up to the...
...I'd actually thought about posting something to the newsgroup a while ago, but I never got around to it. My main worry is that someone who was at that show...
here's a question that may stump you (but I really want to know the answer): on fat roadie, i can't remember which track, paul starts to make a joke. He asks ...
A joke that Paul had been telling at shows before that one was "What did the Zen Buddhist say to the hot dog vendor?..... Make me one with everything!" He was ...
Is it just my computer, or has no one posted any messages since may 27th? That doesn't really seem possible does it? Anyways, thanks for the hot dog punchline!...
Hey Everyone.......have ya heard????? Restless is reissuing the Replacements first 4......July 21st for Sorry, Stink and Hootenanny. They're saving Let It Be ...
Fuck yeah and there could be more! Someone just sent me this!! Enjoy!<br><br>The REPLACEMENTS' first four Twin/Tone Records albums will be remastered and ...
Well, I talked to Peter Jesperson nearly two years ago and according to him the box set should have been out last year. I don't know what the hold up ...
Sundancekeed asked...<br>>>I also wonder if the re-issues are gonna include any bonus tracks. Anyone heard anything? <br><br>Same question I had. I'd ...
Does anyone have info on a particular Westerberg song called (I think) "Thank the Lord for the Land We Live on" ??<br><br>That was its chorus - and the Mats ...
As I surmised. I read a few more comments by Peter Jesperson on the Paul Westerberg news page and sure enough, he's saying that he's compiled tons of material...
Hey everyone,<br><br>I'm looking to get some live Mats stuff on CDR and was hoping this was the right place to get started. Anyway, I don't have much but I do...
Wow....The posts on this have really slowed down. Well, with the upcoming 10th anniversary of the Mat's last show (July 4th 1991 Grant Park Chicago)I was ...
Also, the Twin Tone re-issues are coming out on July 24th!!! Let's spread the word. There are too many bands benefitting from the road the Mats paved.... The ...
I'm glad the reissues are coming out. I'm extremely disappointed however that they saw fit not to include any additional material. And I think I said before...
sundancekeed-I think you're right on the money about the need (or lack thereof) to "clean up" old Mats tracks. The funny thing for me at the time was getting ...
You make a good point. "Sorry, Ma" actually sounds cleaner, for want of a better term than Hootenanny or Let It Be. (and here comes a bit of heresy. I thought...
I'm back from Boston. The internship went well, I certainly learned quite a bit about filmmaking. Enough, anyway, to know that someone else is going to have to...
I went to a bar in San Francisco tonight called Vesuvio (next to the famed City Lights Bookstore), and when I perused the jukebox, I was pleasantly shocked to...
There's a pizza joint in my town that I've played acoustic sets at occasionally and they had all the Mats and Westerberg CD's in the juke as well.<br><br>I ...
Hey, thanks for the compliments, I'm here o.k., but damned if I can't find the stuff I wrote on the other page. We'll they say I'm not on the same page anyway....
Not a problem. Here's the message that you put on the Replacements message board on Yahoo. This is a killer story and why I extended the invitation. Welcome, ...
