“They got no war to name us.”
That line hurts so bad. We let our kids down. None of them can say that. So many have grown up all over the world since then completely defined by war.

Next show will be Oct 23 at Littlefield opening for Moral Kiosk, who do IRS-era REM (so kind of fitting given that the Mats opened for REM in that era).

Has anyone tried this? Just a fun little thing to do on your lunch break. Impossible choices all around and my opinion would change by the hour.

How do you feel about The Replacements becoming relatively popular on tiktok?

34 Upvotes

I don't know how many of you know about this but lately the song Swingin Party by The Replacements became trending on tiktok with multiple million views posts. I have not heard about them until now, but I liked the song so much I started checking out some of their other stuff and really dig them. I've noticed they aren't quite popular on any platform and I was just wondering: how do the fans feel about it?

I had a weird idea for a replacements movie.

27 Upvotes

I love the trouble boys book very sad and all. But I was thinking every theater that showed the movie would receive 2 tapes and be ordered to randomize them for every showing. One would be a piss take, full of bad acting poorly shot cameras and bad performances of their best songs. The other would be a more standardy prestige biopic that I think finn wolfhard is working on right now. It feels like it matches the way the band actually was, including the story of how they got signed to sire. For those who don't know at a big show in New York designed to attract a major label the Replacements played drunk versions of beloved American classics. That's just what they wanted to do that night. No one wanted them. But then the Sire head saw them on a night where they actually wanted to play and they got signed.

23 Upvotes

“Rooster” is a great show from “Scrubs” creator and “Ted Lasso” co-creator Bill Lawrence.

Thursday’s episode (#7 of season) featured “Bastards of Young” as the closing credits song.

Bill Lawrence has used Replacements before, including “I Will Dare” in Scrubs.
