As a Minnesotan, I discovered The Replacements late. They are a Minnesota institution and its slightly embarrassing that it took me so long to get into them. Obviously, as a Paul Simon, Elvis Costello guy, the whole brilliant but tortured thing is right down my alley.
So when now that I have found out that perhaps there will be some new The Replacements material, I am quite a bit giddy.
Rolling Stone - New Replacements EP
Plus I have always had an irrational love of cover songs. Two of my all time favorite albums are collections of covers by Hootie and the Blowfish and The Killers. Perhaps it harkens back to my theater roots but hearing one artists take on a song I know is always captivating.
