Rec | THE REPLACEMENTS “LOVELINES”

🎶

One of the coolest songs ever, Westerberg took the lyrics directly from the personals that day in the news paper. (Name drop fun fact: Winona Ryder’s favorite ‘mats song!) So awesome to hear how versatile the band was as well. My favorite part is when the 15 year old Tommy Stinson doubles Paul’s “oh yeah oh yeah kitten, oh yeah oh yeah!”

The dream syndicate, “tell me when it’s over”

There aren’t many bands or songs out there you can point to and say “this changed my life” but this band and song did. It contains one of the dirtiest guitar licks ever recorded, an earworm of melody and noise. They helped me discover the Velvet Underground 🍌(and kick-started the so-called Paisley Underground movement that gave birth to the Bangles among others). My band could even play this song and it sounded BOSS (not every cover did, ha). So simple anyone could play it; but only THEY could write it. I wrote about the PaIsley Underground years later for Magnet: https://magnetmagazine.com/2001/05/18/one-nation-underground-the-story-of-the-paisley-underground/ God bless Steve Wynn and Co 🎶 this one's still a keeper many decades later.

“New Slang” - The Shins

Incredible. Described in interviews as the “most punk rock” song the band ever recorded based on the lyrics. So beautiful

South Park Season 9 episode 5 - “The Losing Edge”

This is the first South Park episode that came to my head for some reason but it’s a great one. Getting Kyle’s cousin Kyle as the “ringer” is so funny. “LET’S GO DENVER!”
