if I read more, I'd probably read..... The Replacements: All Over But the Shouting: An Oral History
DOWNLOAD: Jim Walsh talked about it on WNYC (MP3)
Their legend is entrenched in rock history: Three neighborhood friends form a band in a Minneapolis basement, recruit a 12-year-old brother to play bass, and become one of the most critically acclaimed rock acts of the 1980s. Along the way there's comedy, tragedy -- and a lot of beery folklore. Longtime Twin Cities music critic Jim Walsh joins us to share his oral history, "The Replacements: All Over But The Shouting." [WNYC]One day I will read more, and when I do, I would like to read this book by Jim Walsh. Download Jim Walsh's WNYC interview above. Check out four more related events, below...

being a huge 'mats fan i ran out and got this book. its a very slow read. the book seems to be in a timeline history, but jumps around every once in awhile. but its the 'mats, so whatever.

Yeah those punk rock oral histories are real tough reading. Maybe you guys would read it if it went like this:
See Tommy drink.
Drink, Tommy, drink!
Run, Paul, run!
See Bob die.
THE END

i like oral history of rock books. i've read "please kill me" (about punk) and "fool the world" (about the pixies), and recommend both. (at least if you like punk and the pixies.)

I thought the book was a quick and easy read. It's definitely worth checking out. The Mats are one of the greatest bands ever. The more people who learn about them, the better.
