This is a bit belated, but am I the only one who kind of prefers the original 'dreary' lyrics to "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas"? Judy Garland made Hugh Martin re-write into a happier song before she would sing it.

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
It may be your last
Next year we may all be living in the past
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Pop that champagne cork
Next year we may all be living in New York
No good times like the olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who were dear to us
Will be near to us no more
But at least we all will be together
If the Lord allows
From now on, we'll have to muddle through somehow
So have yourself a merry little Christmas now

Alanis Morrisette - "Not The Doctor"

If all men had to listen to this on a weekly basis from age 16, we'd stop putting women on a pedestal and treating them as objects and cures for our own issues, and start manning up and fixing our sh*t.

If all women had to listen to this on a weekly basis from age 16, they'd all be lesbians, and the human race would cease to exist. I wouldn't blame them. :p

Tom Waits - playlist of about 40 songs from his 70s albums.

His 1978 appearance on Austin City Limits was on this week. I have a grainy boot of it so was nice to see it in pristine quality for the first time.

One my all time faves.

One of those guys who even though I don't care for him basically every single musician of the last thirty years who I respect swears by him and thinks he's a genius. Men want to be him, women want to be with him. I don't see it at all but obviously they are right.

He was a great Renfield, though.

I see no 20-something men at all.

Because he is probably a descendant.In that case the previously mentioned Tom Waits was the lifer in that prison.

While it seems that most Mats fans talk more about Tim and Let It Be (and I love both), Pleased To Meet Me might be my favorite of theirs and was the their last imho pure Mats recording. Obviously it's quite a ways in many aspects from Hootenanny, Stink or Sorry Ma.., but nothing close to All Shook Down/Don't Tell A Soul. The irreverent I Don't Know, the tracks IOU and Skyway would have fit wonderfully on Tim, their punk roots exhibited on Red Red Wine and Shooting Dirty Pool, the pure pop magnificence of Westerburg on Alex Chilton, Can't Hardly Wait, Nightclub Jitters and Valentine and the brutal honesty of The Ledge which MTV wouldn't even play because of the subject matter. The introduction of horns might have been what turned some off but I loved all of it.

Some interviews I found after digging around:

1984
1987
1989

and:

“Trouble Boys: The True Story of the Replacements”

I forgot that Tommy was quite literally a baby when they started.

A locally produced piece from 1988 talking about the, "Minneapolis Sound" this part only concentrating on The Mats and Husker Du.

I need to do a Mats marathon tonight. I play them often but not often enough and my YouTube rabbit hole adventures for their music has me pumped to listen to them all night.

Spin Doctors: Pocket Full of Kryptonite

Re: USCHO Music Thread 4: Songs She Sang to Me, Songs She Brang to Me

I find it hard to wrap my head around the fact that Tommy Stinson is a Cocteau Twins fan.

And Setting Sons is the only Jam album I don't own. Been hoping to run across a vinyl version of that for years.

Animals is brilliant, IMO. Also, underrated.

Maybe by the general public but most Floyd fans put it right near the top of the list if not at the top like I do.
