#themats — Public Fediverse posts

I finished my main online class in one fell swoop yesterday and the only class I have is to take tests later this week. So what degree is my boredom sitting around this morning? Ranting to the groupchat about my favorite bits of "Westerbergian wordplay" in songs by The Replacements with multiple examples.

Let It Be

The Mats release their third album on October 2, 1984. It's #241 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time and the opening track, "I Will Dare," has been inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll. By the way .. that photo of the band takes place on the roof of Bob and Tommy Stinson's mom's home.

Color me impressed.

Hootenanny from The Replacements is released on April 29, 1983. It's The Mats' second album and, though it has sold less than 100,000 albums, it's still considered one of their best and most important punk/breakneck puck albums of the era.
