Robert Christgau always got it just right.

Apparently the true (and perhaps only) greatness of the Replacements was that they served as a sort of meta-commentary on the pretentiousness and pointlessness of rock music.

The holy grail of lost Mats demos according to Jesperson? Really?
It kinda bores the shit outta me. Maybe its cuz I just dont connect with it lyrically like other Paul tunes- but aside from that, its just kinda a ho-hum song I think.
Perfectly Lethal however-both versions;)- Wow…how that didnt find its way onto let it be ill never know…
too much like syv i suppose.

Those demos just feel like the Mats are suppossed to feel. At least Paul has xome full circle and is recording in his basement without the heavy hitters. I love that.
And goddamn could Bob play guitar. He’s the still the reason I keep my treble on 10 and my bass on 0.
Final note, you all must agree the sorry ma bonus stuff is the best of the bunch. Right? Right. They left out some gems from that era, but damn, it sure does cement the fact that Sorry Ma was there best album ever. POLLS BE DAMNED!

It’s kinda crappy sounding, but very listenable. Download it here:

I know how to play most of it. I Like the idea of a link for rarities page. I’m not sure i ever heard “kick it in” or “make this your home”.

christian, i noticed the same thing about “perfectly lethal”.
