Jer, how would you describe the sound of The Bleeding Hearts?
I've never heard The Bleeding Hearts, except by name. If this was ever leaked or anything, I never got ears on it. I have the Static Taxi disc, which Bob played on. Didn't love it, but haven't revisited it in many years.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I kinda remember hearing a couple of their songs years ago and wasn't particularly impressed or wowed with them. IMO, just your garden-variety Stonesy rock stash.
Here is a sample-

I’ve mentioned a podcast called “Andy Hears the 80s”. It delves into all kinds of 80s music, from people who weren’t there when they came out. They discovered that they liked the Replacements. They recently had an interview with Tommy open.spotify.com/episode/2583hYUgzpH1T84rsni1Bx

Thanks for the heads up. "Had the band switched out a couple songs on Tim — dropping “Lay Down Clown” and “Dose of Thunder” in favor of the original “Can’t Hardly Wait” and “Nowhere Is My Home” — and had a better cover photo then I think it would be head and shoulders above LIB and in the discussion of greatest albums of all time, which it still should be." I'm definitely going to make this playlist and see how it feels.

I'm definitely going to make this playlist and see how it feels. I’m going to do that too. I expect no doubt I’d love those other 2 in the album and would feel it’d be a stronger set of songs but I’d probably be clamoring for those originally included. I don’t skip either of them and like them included.

Mehr says there won't be any new Replacements reissue projects in 2022. Think an expanded Hootenanny will be up next for a 40th-anniversary treatment in 2023?

As much as I love the idea of including those two tracks, I think part of the magic of Tim is the dichotomy between the serious stuff—“Hold My Life,” “Swinging Party,” “Here Comes a Regular”—and the bonehead rockers. The levity enhances the serious stuff. “Dose of Thunder” sounds freakin’ fun to play too.

I don't think it would have been better than Let it Be. Bob Stinson's limited contributions and the weak mix will always relegate it to second for me. Even though some of the material on Tim is their best, the lack of Bob's influence and the production just restrained a band who shouldn't have been restrained.
Had they let Alex Chilton produce the whole record or anyone but Tommy Ramone mix it would have helped too. NIMH is great, and I'd take any version of CHW over the PTMM verison, but neither really fits the sequencing of Tim as it was mixed. Let it Be just encompasses everything that was great about them, and Tim does too, just not quite as much. A remix of Tim would be great to hear.

The new documentary about Jay Bennett by Gorman Bechard is really great. It shows the other side of the incredible musician and songwriter who who was so poorly and unfairly portrayed in the Wilco movie. There are Westerberg and Bob Stinson mentions, and shots of and a few words about the Chris Mars artwork for the Titanic Love Affair album.

Podcast called “My Favorite Album” from Australia. a podcast on the impact great music has on our lives. Each episode features a guest on their favorite album of all time - why they love it, their history with the album and how it's influenced them.A pretty good listen for music fans. There is an episode of Bob Odenkirk talking about Sorry Ma. Nice insight from a long term fan. My Favorite Album

“Can’t Hardly Wait” and “Take Me Down To The Hospital” play for a bit in the new Tony Hawk documentary.

Bennett strikes me as a Bob-like character. So much talent and promise, gone too soon. Yankee Hotel Foxtrot is such a unique slice of Americana. I love so much of what Tweedy and Co. have done since, but that one is special. Hard to believe it’s been 20 years. Huh!?

New interview with Bob Mehr on the Discografitti podcast. Only listened to a bit so far, seems cool. open.spotify.com/episode/61t2D7xg7X0CHc9SrxB66o?si=V6LtZx2RTG-Vui0tshyrFAEdit: Finally got around to listening to this. Was great. I found the last part really touching when they were asking Bob Mehr what Paul’s up to these days. Sounds like he’s definitely retired, given up guitars and rock n roll and spends his days painting. What a dignified way to go out. Paul seems to have that vibe of royalty in exile.

Listening to E Street Radio on Sirius the other day, Springsteen played a Slim Dunlap song (Rockin’ Here Tonight, maybe?) on the show he DJs. First time I’ve ever heard him mention the Replacements.

"in 2005, he released an album called Come Feel Me Tremble, which consisted of 31 tracks that were recorded in just six days." I'm missing a few tracks!
