…not sure what brought this about, but I’ve been listening to The Replacements for weeks, non-stop. If they didn’t invent jangly indie slacker attitude they definitely refined it to an irresistible malaise. Walking through Carroll Gardens last night, I overheard this track billowing out of a half-empty bar. I think a Replacements revival is ripe for summertime, much like the Hall & Oates
revival, summer of 2006.
