the replacements’ sire era demos
usually when i get more than a couple of requests for something, and i still have it, i kinda feel obligated to repost it. such is the case with these mats sire era demos which for some strange reason have been requested with great frequency over the past month or so. its not strange that people want em, its just that seemingly out of nowhere people have been anxious to get their hands on em. got a bunch of new stuff to post later today or tomorrow. see where the day takes me. im still debating on whether i want to hit up the saints parade this afternoon. its a bit cool out, and quite frankly its probably going to be a hot mess. still, i kinda want to go just to be a part of it. decisions….

Consistantly my favourite blog – you are a treasure!
A nice collection for sure.
Gregor, have you by chance ever come across a Paul Westerberg collection called “Unintentionally”? Apparently its a collection of demos from the 80’s.
It’s got this song I heard on You Tube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tAoDUG92n4) and I was curious to hear more but I’ve never been able to track it down.
thanks ryan and alex that sounds familiar, but i may be getting it confused with something else. needless to say, i will be on the look out for it.
sweet, now if only we could get a replacements reunion

So Great! The 8 1/2 x 11 glossy was worth a post by itself – mp3s are gravy.

to the guy looking for “Unintentionally” – I’ve been posting Mats bootlegs/rarities on my blog for the past few weeks. Just posted what I have from Unintentionally, which is the first 18 or 19 tracks. Am looking for the rest myself, but so far no luck.
Thanks Gregor for the Dekalb show from a few weeks ago…I hadn’t heard that one yet.
