Paul Westerberg - Live in Studio
Paul Westerberg, the ex-leader/genius of The Replacements went on to have a great solo career. He may not have approached the slash & burn level of his previous band but came close at times and aimed more at the head and heart, rather than the guts....
This is a great recording from a 1996 radio show in Atlanta where Paul and band absolutely BURN. He starts out with some solo stuff then closes out with some Replacements tunes. "Alex Chilton" absolutely blisters then comes "Nevermind", the most lackadaisical breakup song ever (if not the truest).
These Are the Days
Ain't Got Me
Alex Chilton
Nevermind

The Replacements 101
There is no other American rock band that was this criminally under appreciated and overlooked by the public and misunderstood by their record label. They brought the rawk like nobody's business, invoking a combination of the Stones, The Faces, The Sex Pistols, and that drunk homeless busker that you almost tipped but didn't (dick!).
click here to read the Replacements story if you:
1) haven't (shame!)
2) need a refresher
3) just want to mentally baste again in their greatness
THE MUSIC
OK kids, it's like this......if you've minimally experienced the "Mats" (that's what the cool kids call them), go purchase/download/torrent/steal one of the "Holy Trinity" of Mat's albums.
In order of greatness:
1) Let It Be
2) Tim
3) Pleased to Meet Me
LISTEN with minimum interference from your girlfriend, wife, one-night-stand, escort, masseuse, goat, roommate, buddy, parents, pets, pastor, boss, fortune-teller, dealer or real estate agent.
Get drunk, or angry, or lonely, or despondent, or broke, or heartbroken, or happy, or lackadaisical, or any combination of the above and you will get it!
