Comment:

Additional track on Disc 1/Side A: 31) Answering Machine. Back in the mid-to-late '80s, in the prime of my teenage years, discovering the Replacements completely transformed my life. They were everything that I was looking for in a band [simultaneously raw and vulnerable, trashy and beautiful, with one of the most underrated lead guitarists of all-time (Bob Stinson, R.I.P.) and one of the most talented songwriters (at least at the time) of any generation, Paul Westerberg]. Listening to Westerberg's songs was the musical equivalent of my reading The Catcher in the Rye. It felt like someone was writing the soundtrack to my personal headspace with songs like "Unsatisfied", "Kiss Me on the Bus", "Sixteen Blue", "Swingin' Party", and "I Will Dare." Since then, I've lost a fair amount of affection for the band, now vastly preferring their fellow Minneapolisians [is that the word?], Husker Du, who were then my *second* favorite contemporary artists. For years, I've blamed my decline in appreciation on Don't Tell a Soul, All Shook Down and Westerberg's very (to me, anyway) "adult alte*native" solo caree. Both of those featured (at least initially, in the case of his solo work) some very fine songs next to some downright embarrassing moments and all of which had regrettably slick production. However, I've been listening to them very frequently lately, now that all of their discs have been remastered and expanded, and every time that I listen to them, I see more of what I loved about them at the time, and this revision of my double-disc revision (from a year ago) of my single-disc mix compiled at least six and a half years ago (got that?) is the result. As you can see, although it wasn't initially my intention, it's almost perfectly divided between the TwinTone and Sire records years. Last tracks cut: "The Ledge," "Run It," "Hootenanny," and "All Shook Down." At any rate, I love these songs and it's cool to feel like a kid again for the duration of the mix.
