Watch Wilco cover Daft Punk, The Replacements, and Pavement | Consequence of Sound.

Seeing Jeff Tweedy & Tommy play “Color Me Impressed” is pretty fucking rad.

Craig Finn covers “Within Your Reach”

Head over to The L Magazine for a nice write up of a ‘Mats tribute concert and see an awesome video of a Bastards of Young cover.

Here’s Finn singing Within Your Reach and talking about getting Hootenanny. Thanks to The Largehearted Boy for pointing it out.

Cover Band: Replacements Rock Around The Clock

Wolfdog — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 15:28:23 +0000

Bar bands usually have certain ‘fall back’ covers to lean on when the gig outlasts their material (or attention span). When in doubt, go to Chuck Berry, Elvis, Buddy Holly…. or this classic from Billy Halley And The Comets.

Don’t need to remember the words, just get the key phrases out there.

And let Bob rip.

Video Tuesday — A woman covering ‘Can’t Hardly Wait’

Aside from the plinky, plinky Casio Keyboard, this isn’t a bad cover at all. I think more chicks need to cover the ‘Mats.

Cover Band: The Replacements Do Motorhead

Wolfdog — Fri, 14 Mar 2008 15:30:38 +0000

Ever imagine The Mats performing with the artists they have covered? It’s easy to imagine them fitting in with the likes of The Kinks, The Who, and The Stones in their glory.

But Motorhead? Surely they were too metal for the punk scene. But Lemmy was punk before they had a genre for it. And Ace Of Spades is the perfect song to attempt to sonically flatten a Duluth roller rink.

Cover Band: The Replacements Do The Stones Pt. II

Happy Black Friday! I hope you successfully purchased that wildly discounted electronic device at your favorite retail shop at an ungodly hour this morning!

In honor of this day of manic consumerism, I wish I had a Mats cover of Steely Dan’s Black Friday. But they never seemed to veer towards Fagen/Brecker songs.

So instead I will just post another Stones cover. Here’s Heart Of Stone from the Uptown Bar in 1985.

Happy Thanksgiving y’all!

This year, I’m thankful for the normal stuff. You know, family, friends, solvency, nutty bars, beer….. but this year I’m gonna add cowbell to the list.

And Honky Tonk Women. (Pittsburg, PA 1987)
