Thank god for Rhino. They have a way of finding great music and getting it back out there in the marketplace. As a long time fan of the Replacements, indie-hardcore superstars of the early 80s, I was thrilled to see reissues of these recordings. They are putting out All Shook Down, Pleased to Meet Me, Hootenany, Sorry Ma! Forgot to take out the Trash, Don't Tell A Soul, Let it Be, Tim, and a Best of collection.
If you are a youngster, not a geriatric punk like myself, you owe it to yourself to hear what the buzz was all about. Grinding guitars, clever songwriting, and Paul Westerberg's down-to-earth and sincere vocals. My personal favorite has always been "Let it Be". Definitely worth the money!

Start where you are...
Use what you have...
Become the change that you want to see in the world.

Enough for Everyone's Need, Not for Everyone's Greed...

Live simply so that others may simply live.

Become the Media

Don't listen to the one-sided corporate-owned media. They are not in the business of finding the truth. They are only concerned about making money for themselves and their stock holders. If they do report the truth, it is only because it suits their business plan. A happy accident...
Become the media! Blog it, film it, record it...
You still have credibility... They don't.
