I have a cassette of the Shit Hits the Fans too. I also love that version of Can't Hardly Wait.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Jon, I, um... forget where you're from. Were you in Minneapolis in the '80s? Or were you so cool that you were into the Replacements from the beginning while not living in Minneapolis?
Grew up in NYC. Moved to Boston for college. Let It Be was the first 'Mats record I was aware of. They were huge at my radio station. I got the stamped Stink copy second-hand a few years later.

"Why do the facts hate America?" - Jon Stewart
I wish I had been old enough to see the 'mats all drunk and doing weird covers, but I was not.
How I miss those days.
Good times.

I am with hayden on the kooky goodness that is the released "Can't Hardly Wait." Also, I saw the 'mats live once, with amych, and enjoyed it muchly.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Question born of ignorance: why the 'mats? Why not the 'ments?

But I got some bootlegs from Tina last year that captured the reckless, wasted glory as well as The Shit Hits The Fans, and some of those I could only listen to a couple of times as well.
Silly - you sent me that bootleg. The Metro show from 86? Full of reckless, wasted glory it is.
Just last night I was trying to remember what the mats song in Say Anything is - the one that plays as he is leaving his sister's apartment to get on the plane just as the movie is ending. Anyone know what it was off the top of their head? If I don't have that somewhere, I need to buy it.
I am getting the Fiery Furnaces today because of all the squeeing here about it. I need a new CD and am uninspired about everything else out right now.

I was at that show!
With friends of friends from Mpls who were amazed at how sober and professional the 'Mats were in Chicago.
