Bastards of Young

Incorrect - the August 1987 show was at the Riv, not the Aragon...

Have to give credit where credit is due - Stosh has some good links up about the Replacements. Apparently, the three surviving members may have been in the studio this past December recording 2 new tunes for a soon-to-be-relased 'Best of' on Rhino. Seems awfully unlikely that Axl would let Tommy out of Guns N Roses to do that.. but who knows.

Beyond the 'Best of', there is also a box set on the way, maybe, (to include a DVD) and a reissue of all their albums (again, maybe. As legend has it, didn't they throw all those masters into the Mississippi?) complete with bonus material. I've heard most everything the Mats have comitted to tape, including a lot of outtakes, but I'd be real interested in the DVD.

In the meantime, take a look at this trailer for the coming film 'Color Me Obessed"about 'Mats fans and their distrubing devotion to a band that broke up in 1991.
