that really is a good picture of the mats, but tommy's bangs are sort of freaking the hell out. Every girl in my eighth grade class had those bangs. Bold Hold. same at my school, too. i can't talk. i sported the manliest of mullets for awhile... and i am not proud of it, either. |

i love the elbow picture. seriously. and i have never seen the video for the ledge/alex chilton. maybe the cd will be "enhanced"....? hmmm? I think the Ledge is on the AlloFor Nothing/Nothibng For All and both are on YouTube, which was the first time I ever saw the Alex Chilton one, and the video doesn't work fot that song. Saw The Ledge 10 years ago on MuchMusic and I taped it, still got the VHS tape. Got Bastards of Young and Left of The Dial on there too. ok, how about an enhanced cd with studio videos for "pool & dive" & "message"? |

lyrically, folk isn't all that far from punk. sonically, it is, but as punks age, noise starts to matter less. if the message is still there, though, they are every bit still the punk as far as i am concerned.

I'd also say the Go-Go's should be in there ?????????????????? the go-go's wrote some of the most memorable songs of a decade. i'm not sure if they belong on that list, but i will always defend the honor of my wife, jane weidlin. |

I think Neil Peart is a top-notch drummer, and exactly what Rush needs, but I don't think he would add anything to As Far As I Know. here here! i love rush (for anyone who didn't know it), and this comment is dead on the nuts. peart is great at what he does in rush, but i much prefer listening to: janet weiss (the drumming in "get up" is almost backward) gina shock buddy rich ebony rhythm budda blakehopkins edit: yesyesyes to mr. bun e., too. |

can i just say the last bit is making me giddy? the only complaint is when press releases or dj's or whatever use the term "slab".
i hate that.

i just love, love, love paul & joan... Die-hard PW fans already know this, but search out Joan Jett's song "Backlash." Paul co-wrote it, sings and plays guitar, and even appears in the video. call me diehard! |

i just love, love, love paul & joan on the tank girl soundtrack. ever since, i have been a vocal supporter of the idea of them doing an entire album together.
in fact, here is my new dream band:
paul - git/vox
joan - git/vox
tommy - bass/vox
michaelb - drums
yeah, baby. you can thank me later.

I've been thinking about this for a time... #1 Record/Twin-Tone era Mats-The first Big Star record is a product of the Bell/Chilton song-writing relationship. Bob Stinson had as much to do with the sound of the early Replacements as Paul did. Radio City/The Holy Trinity- Though Bell had some involvement with the songs on the second record (I hear "Back of a Car" is pretty much solely his), he didn't stick around for the actual recording of the album and Chilton pretty much captained the boat throughout. Arguably, this is the peak of Chilton's career. From Let It Be and on, Bob Stinson's influence lessened and this is the period cited as Paul's peak. By some accounts, Stinson was barely involved with much of Tim and, as we know, he was out of the band by PtMM. Third Album/All Shook Down-Two very sad, tired sounding records that were mainly a product Chilton and Westerberg respectively, with minimal imput from whatever band members were still left at the time. Reunion-After a decidedly frustrating (but extremely interesting) solo career, Chilton reforms Big Star (for initially a one-off gig) with the only original member that stuck with him until the band's final demise after the third album, that being Jody Stephens. After an arguably frustrating solo career (that was, again, perhaps more interesting than what he did with his band), Westerberg reforms the Replacements (for what looks to be a one-off day in the studio) and, though Chris Mars contributed, Tommy was the only one who played. Like Stephens, Stinson was the only original band member besides Paul to have played at the last Replacements show as of this date. So, assuming I'm not crazy, the Replacements/Big Star chart looks like this: Paul Westerberg/Alex Chilton Tommy Stinson/Jody Stephens Chris Mars/Andy Hummel (the mostly disinterested members of each group) Bob Stinson/Chris Bell I'm crazy, am I not? works for me! |
