LIMITED WARRANTY sounds like the name of Adam Sandler's former band in The Wedding Singer.
So what about this new book?
― James Redd and the Blecchs, Friday, 26 October 2007 05:54 (sixteen years ago) link
I want it so bad but i'm gonna wait for the paperback version - it'll be cheaper and easier to read / carry around. I'm reading the Pixies oral history now, anyway, and you can really only read one oral history at a time, right?
But yeah, I'm excited about it.

BAH! I gave in to temptation after all and just bought this book on Amazon. Damn super saver discount gets me every time - also bought that new Shooter Jennings album and the Michael Showalter CD to save on shipping. What a weekend it will be when THAT combo arrives!

Wow, I've got a gift card for Barnes & Noble! I wonder if...
― Bimble, Saturday, 27 October 2007 08:05 (sixteen years ago) link
some good extras on here. "If Only You Were Lonely" is easily one of their best tunes.
― Shakey Mo Collier, Tuesday, 12 February 2008 22:14 (sixteen years ago) link
Agreed

some b-sides on the 2nd disc of all for nothing/nothing for all that are really fantastic, esp the jungle rock/all he wants to do is fish/date to church retro-trilogy
― deeznuts, Sunday, 20 April 2008 21:12 (sixteen years ago) link
oh also totally classic for this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5CaagwSYGk

yeah the lyrics changes + the intro + (most of all) i really dont think ive ever seen a major band so genuinely giddy
― deeznuts, Sunday, 20 April 2008 21:53 (sixteen years ago) link
"giddy"
― Mr. Que, Sunday, 20 April 2008 21:55 (sixteen years ago) link
by 'genuinely' i meant giddy for reasons that extend beyond probable pre-show drug intake
― deeznuts, Sunday, 20 April 2008 21:59 (sixteen years ago) link
"probable"
― Mr. Que, Sunday, 20 April 2008 22:04 (sixteen years ago) link
i totally knew you wuz gonna do that
anyway, classic - & que if yr point is they were actually more or less typically like that live id love to see some video links if you got em, ive always imagined their drunk-off-their-asses shows to be a trainwreck enjoyment kinda thing
― deeznuts, Sunday, 20 April 2008 22:10 (sixteen years ago) link
i love the Replacements, but these albums are fine the way they are. who needs a remaster?
― stephen, Monday, 21 April 2008 01:54 (sixteen years ago) link
Um... didn't they already remaster their albums a couple years ago?
― Mr. Snrub, Monday, 21 April 2008 02:14 (sixteen years ago) link
these have a shitload of bonus tracks i think.
― M@tt He1ges0n, Monday, 21 April 2008 02:47 (sixteen years ago) link
The liner notes of the new editions aren't even that painful.

As long as the guy who wrote the book didn't write them.

Why, are you that unsatisfied with it?
― StanM, Monday, 21 April 2008 15:36 (sixteen years ago) link
Ha. Took me a minute, but ha.
― The Deacon, Monday, 21 April 2008 17:02 (sixteen years ago) link
haha after a decade of listening to a personalized best-of cassette, I finally decided to actually buy a Replacements album like two weeks ago (an old used copy of Let It Be) and NOW there are new remasters out that I probably should've waited for.
― Alex in Baltimore, Monday, 21 April 2008 17:05 (sixteen years ago) link
lol, I'm kind of a grumpy dude
― HI DERE, Monday, 21 April 2008 17:15 (sixteen years ago) link
Anyone got an opinion these yet?
I didn't think the Let It Be bonus tracks were all that much to write home about, but the "Forgot To Take Out The Trash" bonus tracks were much better and pretty solid. Haven't played Stink or Hootenanny yet.
I do want to say...that out of all the music in the entire world, nothing makes me feel like I'm 13 again like the "Let It Be" album, especially "I Will Dare". I only just managed a few days ago to remember that I actually heard Let It Be when I was 13, not 14. Hell I probably heard that before I even heard Joy Division. I'm serious. Let It Be is the classick of the classick.
Meet you with the vampires.

ALSO EVERYONE KNOWS THAT "ANDROGYNOUS" RULES THE LAND RIGHT UP UNTIL THE TIME "UNSATISFIED" COMES ON AND THEN YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND AS TO BEST SONG ON THIS ALBUM
― Bimble Is Still More Goth Than You, Saturday, 3 May 2008 05:06 (sixteen years ago) link
spin article this month/last month is surprisingly readable. first longform interview with westerberg i've read in a while. he seems to have reached that inevitable stage where he accepts that he'll always be best known for stuff he did a long time ago. also, strong intimations of a "reunion," although that would just mean paul and tommy plus whoever. (chris mars is too busy painting.) but hell i'd probably go see paul and tommy.
― tipsy mothra, Saturday, 3 May 2008 06:50 (sixteen years ago) link
Let It Be is just one big, lovely teardrop. Without a doubt an absolute all time classic.Right down to the fucking cover. They had some erm, 'moments' on other albums too . We know what they are.
Classic.
Bring on the reunion. Why not?
― Fer Ark, Saturday, 3 May 2008 08:37 (sixteen years ago) link
the albums didn't sound fine they way they were, and the remastered stuff that came out a few years ago sounded even worse. I'm told these sound much better and have bonus tracks to boot, so I'll pick up Hootenanny and LIB at least, and PTMM when it comes out
― akm, Saturday, 3 May 2008 13:19 (sixteen years ago) link
I never had a problem with the production of the mats stuff.Maybe it's my duff hi/low fi That other huge Minneapolis(sp?sorry) band suffered worse on that front and I'm not talking about Soul Asylum , The Cows or Prince.
― Fer Ark, Saturday, 3 May 2008 13:59 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah, I don't think I ever thought about the production one way or the other and last time I listened, my old CD of Stink still sounded pretty hot. I mean, I'm sure they could be made to sound somewhat better, but it's hard to imagine it making a huge difference. Nice Strong Arm, on the other hand...

i was talking about The Baby Astronauts ;-)

$16 bucks each at Best Buy for the reissues. Will have to look online instead.

Bimble will still be a teenager in the morning. And next year. And the year after that.

Every girl I've ever had an unrequited crush on has liked the Replacements. and Jonathan Richman and the Smiths. They know too well what to do with guys like me. They know too well.
― burt_stanton, Wednesday, 21 January 2009 09:20 (fifteen years ago) link
Nothing anyone can do to me on ILX to ruin it when Let It Be makes me feel like a teenager again. Not a thing. Not a damn thing you can do. Forget it.
xpost sorry to hear that Burt. Really, that's horrible. If girls who like the Smiths don't get you, that's bad.
