Before January wraps, let's celebrate that 39 years ago this month on January 18, 1986, the Replacements got banned for life from SNL. In the middle of playing "Bastards of Young" on live TV, singer Paul Westerberg yelled to guitarist Bob Stinson, "Come on, F*cker!" during this guitar solo. In a combo platter of VIDEO and audio featuring one of our favorite guests, Tommy Stinson tells the story of yet another rowdy New York incident when the band played at the legendary CBGB. When the God of Thunder, Gene Simmons from KISS, walked in the Replacements decided that being on their worst behavior was exactly what the occasion called for. WATCH HERE: https://youtube.com/shorts/FbcKOyA7mAA Tommy's on tour! In this episode, the Minneapolis kid who grew up playing bass in one of rock 'n' roll's most notorious bands talks about wearing dresses while opening for Tom Petty; Rock in Rio with Guns N' Roses in front of 500,000 fans and not being able to hear a thing; and the weather-induced fear of encountering a TORDANO on the road.

Frank Phobia is a sweetheart. He's also the leader of Anthrophobia (who happen to be releasing their new J. Robbins produced record GOING OUT SWINGING on the 22nd of this month). But mainly — he's a sweetheart. One that has been a low key hero to countless touring bands that have made their way through various venues in Pennsylvania for God knows how many years. The man's an institution. On this episode we talk to Frank about his mentor Carol Schutzbank, Chameleon Club, bouncing around PA, major label lessons, pseudonyms, being a punk-rock pillar, Steve Harris, Bob Stinson, booking Local H, booking the Local H movie, Zoetropolis vs Zoetrope, pussy and money, Lititz, hair farmers, Rights of the Accused, New Coke, and WHAT'S THE BEST?!?: 1985.

In this episode, Craig marks the 40th anniversary of The Replacements' iconic album Let It Be. He explores how the 1984 release broke new ground for alternative rock, blending punk energy with heartfelt introspection. Craig discusses the album's enduring influence, with tracks like "I Will Dare" and "Unsatisfied" showcasing the band's raw emotion and rebellious spirit. As he reflects on its lasting impact, Craig highlights how Let It Be remains a touchstone for both fans and musicians, cementing The Replacements' legacy as pioneers of the indie rock scene.Shawn shifts the focus to one of his favorite albums from the last 20 years, Bon Iver's For Emma, Forever Ago. He dives into the emotional depth and haunting beauty of Justin Vernon's debut, discussing how its sparse production and introspective lyrics created a sound that resonated with listeners on a deeply personal level. Shawn explores how For Emma helped redefine the indie folk genre, influencing a generation of artists with its raw vulnerability and atmospheric soundscapes.Together, Craig and Shawn explore the power of these two transformative albums—one celebrating a legacy and the other shaping a new era of music. Whether you're a fan of raw, heart-on-sleeve rock or intimate, soulful folk, this episode is a celebration of the timeless music that continues to inspire.
In 1984, The Replacements were gaining a reputation as fun live punk band, always delivering loud, raucous tunes with setlists full of covers and aggressive originals. They intentionally thwarted management's efforts to get them on bigger labels by sabotaging shows they knew record company reps would be attending. The Minneapolis quartet of Paul Westerberg on vocals, Bob Stinson on guitar, Tommy Stinson on bass and Chris Mars on drums carved out a loyal following and had begun to win over fans around the country thanks to opening for REM. But Westerberg's songwriting, especially his lyrics, were too strong to be for only those moshing around through a drunken haze. With Let It Be, the band explores more personal themes (Unsatisfied, Answering Machine, Androgynous) and captured more melody than they had previously. They still had plenty of straight ahead punk songs (We're Comin' Out, Tommy Got His Tonsils Out, Gary's Got A Boner) but also tried to empathize with those who might not understand the world around them and how to relate (Sixteen Blue). Westerberg's lyrics are personal and poignant and still resonate to this day. Plus, there's a KISS cover song on the album so what's not to like? We didn't find this record until later in life but if you're unfamiliar, I think you'll like a lot of what you hear as we delve into deep topics we don't always weigh in on thanks to this punk classic.

Night Dangers. Ever since I heard this band a couple years ago, I've been hooked. Then Andrew Philp, the main Night Danger-er, sent me a copy of their soon-to-be-released full length record and whooooooo yeah, it was time for an interview. This Bobcast feautures an interview with Andrew about all kinds of stuff - music, mental health, the Midwest “sound”, who would win in a fight - Prince or Bob Stinson (that's totally not in this episode besides they're both dead how fucked do you think I am???) and more! Oh yeah, there are TWO ghost stories in this one as well, one by Andrew, one is a VERY SPECIAL GUEST (Hi Mono!). Music-wise, there's a brand new Bobcast theme song by What Me Worry? and three Night Dangers songs - “All I Need”, “This Time” and “Let Myself Down Tonight”.
The Bar None label, in conjunction with Fiasco Records, is excited to announce the upcoming release of Riches to Rags, a long-lost album by Minneapolis' Bleeding Hearts featuring Bob Stinson, a founding member of The Replacements, on lead guitar. Riches to Rags will be a Record Store Day 2022 exclusive, pressed on 12” blood-red vinyl with liner notes by journalist Bob Mehr who won a Grammy Award for his album notes to the Dead Man's Pop box set, an expanded re-issue he co-produced of the Replacements Don't Tell a Soul album; Mehr wrote Trouble Boys the definitive Replacements biography Trouble Boys; he describes Riches to Rags as “the final piece to the puzzle of Bob Stinson's musical career.” The album release will be preceded by the digital single, “Happy Yet,” on March 17. Bleeding Hearts was the brainchild of Stones-fixated singer / songwriter / guitarist Mike Leonard who started the group with drummer Bob Herbers and bassist Rob Robello. In search of a second guitarist and having no luck, Leonard approached Stinson at the Uptown Bar where both were regulars. They became roommates and, as Mehr's notes relate, “the two played together daily, roughhoused like little kids, rehearsed with the band five times a week, and listened to music the rest of the time.” Riches To Rags was the result of pure serendipity. Fiasco Records' Sunshine Dunham found a complimentary copy of Spin Magazine in a CMJ Music Marathon festival gift bag featuring a piece on Stinson's post-Replacements exploits, that mentioned his move from Static Taxi to Bleeding Hearts. She tracked the group down, offered to record them and they made Riches to Rags in Minneapolis in 1993, a tight well-crafted set of high energy rock tunes that owed a debt to the Replacements and showed once again what a stellar guitar player Bob Stinson was. The album's filled with upbeat, catchy Minneapolis rock, with hooks galore and Bob's ever present bright chords shining through. Unfortunately, the overabundance of creative energy and artistic visions led to heated clashes and then Bob was out of the band right as recording completed. Bleeding Hearts carried on for a while without Bob, but their momentum was gone. Mike disbanded the outfit and joined the popular Minneapolis outfit the Magnolias. Stinson would pass away two years later, and the Bleeding Hearts recordings were left unreleased. Finally, 30 years later, Bleeding Hearts will get their due, thanks to Fiasco Records preserving the session tapes for some three decades and Bar None taking the final steps to deliver this very special Record Store Day exclusive, April 23, 2022.

This is a really cool episode. My guest today is Mike Leonard. He plays guitar for The Magnolias, but that's not what we're discussing today. Almost 30 years ago, Mike was in a band called The Bleeding Hearts with Bob Stinson of The Replacements. Mike tells me how he got into music and how The Bleeding Hearts formed. He tells me about how he got Bob to join the band. It wasn't exactly easy. But once he did, he went all in, including moving in with Mike. That, in part, led to the band getting time in the studio and label interest. But soon after the sessions were over, trouble started brewing. Mike talks about all of this, and why it took 29 years for the album to come out. Check out the album on Bar None Records, especially if you like straight up rock and roll. Pick it up from Bar None or wherever you get music. There may be some vinyl left. Follow us @PerformanceAnx on Instagram & Twitter.

I have a few friends who are no fans of Record Store Day, but I love it. Yes, everyday is Record Store Day for me, but it is one of the few days of the year that I’m a social butterfly. I absolutely love the bonding of music geeks in the lines outside stores, and over the years I’ve actually made some friendships out of these same people who brave the elements on this day. We actually kind of look out for each other. If one of us is looking for something quite rare, it’s not unusual for another one of us to grab it for that person. I had that happen just this last week when I arrived a few minutes later than usual, but really needed to get a copy of a certain release. For me, this year’s version of the holiday may have been the best ever. I’ve never had a list so long of titles that I “needed”. Plus, my name is on one of them (the Jay Bennett two-record set that included Gorman Bechard’s “Where Is Jay Bennett” on DVD). Besides the obligatory Replacements live album, guitarist Bob Stinson saw the release of a record […]
Season Two is coming in hot! Keith and Rob get a visit from Mike Leonard, founder of Bleeding Hearts - the last band Replacement legend Bob Stinson was a member of. Leonard and Bar None Records dusted off the recordings and have released one fine dirty rock album, Riches to Rags (which kinda describes Bob Stinson's career arc). Mike sheds some insight about living and working with one of the most iconic/tragic (take your pick) figures from the era. Riches to Rags is just in time for Record Store Day! Check it out!

RockerMike and Rob discuss The Replacements. The Replacements were an American rock band formed in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in 1979. Initially a punk rock band, they are one of the main pioneers of alternative rock. The band was composed of the guitarist and vocalist Paul Westerberg, guitarist Bob Stinson, bass guitarist Tommy Stinson and drummer Chris Mars for most of its career. Following several acclaimed albums, including Let It Be and Tim, Bob Stinson was kicked out of the band in 1986, and Slim Dunlap joined as lead guitarist. Steve Foley replaced Mars in 1990. Towards the end of the band's career, Westerberg exerted more control over the creative output. The group disbanded in 1991, with the members eventually pursuing various projects. A reunion was announced on October 3, 2012.The band is referred to by their nickname "The 'Mats" by fans, which originated as a truncation of "The Placemats," a mispronunciation of their name. The Replacements' music was influenced by rock artists such as the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, Faces, Big Star, Slade, Badfinger, Creedence Clearwater Revival, and Bob Dylan as well as punk rock bands such as the Ramones, the New York Dolls, the Buzzcocks, the Damned, and the Sex Pistols. Unlike many of their underground contemporaries, the Replacements played "heart-on-the-sleeve"rock songs that combined Westerberg's "raw-throated adolescent howl"with self-deprecating lyrics. The Replacements were a notoriously wayward live act, often performing under the influence of alcohol and playing fragments of covers instead of their own material. https://thereplacementsofficial.com/ https://www.latimes.com/books/la-ca-jc-goldberg-replacements-20180601-story.html?_amp=true https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/the-replacements-the-greatest-band-that-never-was-89041/amp/ https://open.spotify.com/artist/4WPY0N74T3KUja57xMQTZ3 https://www.bbc.co.uk/music/sevenages/artists/the-replacements/ Please follow us on Youtube,Facebook,Instagram,Twitter,Patreon and at www.gettinglumpedup.com https://linktr.ee/RobRossi Get your T-shirt at https://www.prowrestlingtees.com/gettinglumpedup And https://www.bonfire.com/store/getting-lumped-up/ https://app.hashtag.expert/?fpr=roberto-rossi80 https://dc2bfnt-peyeewd4slt50d2x1b.hop.clickbank.net https://8bcded2xph1jdsb8mqp8th3y0n.hop.clickbank.net/?cbpage=nb Subscribe to the channel and hit the like button --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/rob-rossi/support https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/getting-lumped-up-with-rob-rossi/id1448899708 https://open.spotify.com/show/00ZWLZaYqQlJji1QSoEz7a https://www.patreon.com/Gettinglumpedup #thereplacementsband #thereplacements #thereplacementslive #bands #band #musically #music #musician #musicvideo #musicproducer #musicproduction --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/rob-rossi/support

In celebration of the PLEASED TO MEET ME Deluxe Edition, we look back at the unique circumstances around how the record was created. Bob Mehr, author of Trouble Boys: The True Story of the Replacements, offers a detailed perspective of this uncertain period when the Replacements entered Ardent Studios after splitting with guitarist Bob Stinson. Luther Dickinson, son of the late producer, Jim Dickinson, reflects on his father’s contribution to the album, as well as his own experience of joining the band in the studio as a teenager. Additionally, we’ll hear from Paul Westerberg himself, in a 1987 Warner Bros. interview with Julie Panebianco, where he shares his thoughts on the writing and recording of PLEASED TO MEET ME. From alcohol-fueled and trick-filled sessions in Memphis to the controversy of using horns and strings to the existential conflict of being an underground rock band in a major label world, the episode offers a unique look at this pivotal moment in the Replacements’ history.

Hemos sabido que Jackson Browne ha dado positivo por coronavirus tras un reciente viaje a Nueva York para actuar en Love Rocks NYC en la Gran Manzana. Al parecer, los síntomas son bastante leves por lo que no requiere ningún tipo de medicación ni hospitalización. Tan solo hacer lo que todos nosotros: quedarse en casa. El artista ha hecho un llamamiento a todos, y en especial a los más jóvenes, para que tomemos parte en la imprescindible respuesta global para detener la propagación del Covid-19. Hoy abrimos el tiempo de TOMA UNO con "A Little Too Soon to Say", la primera muestra sonora de su próximo álbum, que prevé publicar en octubre y que suena especialmente oportuna. Antes, en el verano, formará parte de una gira conjunta con James Taylor. También ha regresado Gordon Lightfoot, un icono de la música canadiense venerado por varias generaciones de seguidores, críticos y músicos. Con 81 años, acaba de publicar Solo, un título perfecto para estar fechas de introspección que supone su vigésimo primer álbum de estudio en una carrera que ya ocupa siete décadas. Todo comenzó en su casa, con el descubrimiento de una caja de cintas que contenían grabaciones de hace alrededor de 20 años en las que estaba acompañado simplemente por su guitarra. Probó a revisarlas y arreglarlas para su grupo de acompañamiento, pero decidió mantener la desnudez y la simplicidad del momento de su creación, al estilo de Springsteen con Nebraska. Canciones como “Return Into Dust” son las primeras que este trovador de Orillia, en la provincia de Ontario, lanza en los últimos 16 años. El Record Store Day es una fecha que reivindica las pequeñas tiendas de discos independientes. Esas a las que apoyaremos más que nunca cuando pase esta cuarentena. Para la próxima celebración se van acumulando discos especiales como es el caso de un single de Steve Earle con una versión al tema "Times Like These" que originalmente grabó para Songs for Slim: Rockin' Here Tonight, una recopilación editada hace siete años a favor de Slim Dunlap, guitarrista de la vieja escuela que reemplazó en el 87 a Bob Stinson en los Replacements. Un ataque cardíaco le retiró de la escena en 2012 y amigos como Lucinda Williams, Jakob Dylan, Jeff Tweedy, Patterson Hood o el propio Steve Earle procuraron recopilar dinero para él. “Time Like This” dio título en 1996 al segundo y último álbum en solitario de Slim Dunlap, nativo de Plainview, en Minnesota. Además, en la tercera semana de mayo sale a la venta Ghosts of West Virginia, el último álbum de Steve Earle & The Dukes, centrado en la explosión de la mina de carbón Upper Big Branch que mató en 2010 a veintinueve hombres en ese estado. Partiendo de uno de los peores desastres mineros en la historia de Estados Unidos, el artista traza diez retratos sonoros con la habilidad que siempre han caracterizado sus composiciones, explorando como la minería ha sacado a la luz un evidente sentido de unidad y orgullo. “John Henry Was A Steel Drivin’ Man” es uno de los ejemplos de cómo Steve Earle aprecia la necesidad de aprender a comunicarnos entre nosotros y se esfuerza en ello. Dentro de poco menos de un mes estará publicado Mountain Standard Time, el nuevo proyecto de Chris Roberts, uno de los más refutados miembros de la comunidad musical de Nashville, desde sus facetas de compositor, vocalista y productor. Ha sido responsable de musicales, compositores de canciones de éxito, colaborador junto a artistas de prestigio e incluso ha compuesta música para la gran pantalla. Pero el bluegrass es una de sus debilidades y para ese nuevo álbum vez ha querido llevar a ese terreno un tema que en 1970 grabaron Charlie Louvin y Melba Montgomery. Esta vez, Chris Roberts se ha unido a Ashley Campbell acompañados por músicos de la talla del mandolinista Casey Campbell, Rob Ickes en la guitarra o Dennis Crouch en el bajo. Carla Olson ha venido a poner un toque de nostalgia a estas fechas con la publicación de Have Harmony Will Travel 2, siguiendo el camino marcado por la primera entrega de hace siete años. Ahora son 11 duetos con invitados como Stephen McCarthy de los Long Ryders, Vince Melouney, que fuera bajista de los Bee Gees o Terry Reid, entre otros, además de resucitar literalmente las voces de Percy Sledge y Gene Clark. Junto a Peter Noone, ídolo de los mejores años de la British Invasion y líder de los Herman's Hermits de Manchester, ha recuperado “Goodbye My Love”, una canción que grabó originalmente Jimmy Hughes, primo de Percy Sledge, y que pasó a ser un gran éxito de los Searchers de Liverpool en 1965. El dúo de Carla Olson en Have Harmony Will Travel 2 con Timothy B. Schmit en esta deliciosa versión de "A Child’s Claim to Fame" nos retrotrae al segundo álbum de Buffalo Springefield, allá por 1967, cuando escuchamos por primera vez aquella composición de Richie Furay, Y, por supuesto, nos recuerda los días del ahora bajista de los Eagles como miembro de Poco, cuando el tema apareció como parte de un medley, entre “Hard Luck” y “Pickin Up The Pieces”, en el álbum Deliverin’ el tercero de la banda y el primero en vivo. En esta mirada por el retrovisor podemos escuchar incluso a Rusty Young tocando el banjo, el dobro y la guitarra acústica. La herencia de los grandes pioneros se hace presente gracias a bandas como The Sunset Canyoneers, que debutan con el álbum High In The Sky, en cuyo tema central nos recuerdan lo que es estar en la carretera viviendo como un espíritu libre. Un bellísimo tema de country cósmico bañado por la brisa californiana. "High in the Sky" está grababa en Oakdale, conocida como "Cowboy Capital of the World", en el salón de la casa del bajista de la banda William Duke y despliega todo el sentimiento de libertad que en esta situación debemos mantener por encima de todo, aunque estemos recluidos en casa. Sam Blasucci y Clay Finch son Mapache, un dúo de tintes fronterizos que comparte historias de aventuras en las que, en el fondo, siempre se anhela el regreso a casa. From Liberty Street lleva una semana en el mercado y es el resultado de compartir con sus vecinos de Echo Park, en Los Ángeles, el espacio creativo en el que exploran nuevos sonidos comunitarios. El disco, además, establece ese encuentro natural con el folclore tradicional y los sabores hispanos, ejemplo de lo que supone vivir en el sur de California y de la importancia de la cultura mejicana en ese entorno. De hecho hay algunas canciones dentro de este trabajo interpretadas directamente en español, aunque “Right Between The Lines”, uno de sus cortes más destacados, no es un ejemplo. A pesar de esta situación inusual, las novedades siguen llegando hasta el tiempo de TOMA UNO y aquí está "Thinkin 'Bout You All Night", un nuevo tema de Reckless Kelly que formará parte de su próximo álbum American Jackpot. Trata sobre la facilidad de obsesionarse con los ex tras una ruptura. Es una canción viajera compuesta en la carretera y en los diversos estados por los que el quinteto pasó durante una larga gira. Así Willy Braun, su compositor, dice que Colorado, California y Oregón fueron los lugares que conformaron un tema al que se incorporó en piano de Bukka Allen y la guitarra de Chris Masterson. American Jackpot es parte de un álbum doble, junto con American Girls, y supone el primer lanzamiento de la banda desde Sunset Motel de hace cinco años. Quien recuerde a Lou Ford o a los Loudermilks recordarán el espíritu poético de los hermanos Edwards, Chad y Lee, afincados en Charlotte, en Carolina del Norte. Así ha ocurrido en el último cuarto de siglo con su intento de poner al día con una finura especial las esencias del country rock. A. Lee Edwards bebe en los orígenes de la vieja escuela y sus composiciones tienen la seguridad de quien ha estabilizados sus cimientos y les ha dado consistencia. Escribe de forma inteligente y es multidimensional. Con su base en Franklin, también en Carolina del Norte, Alan Lee Edwards nos ha dejado un tema de la sobriedad y el músculo de "South of Sylva", que nos permite seguir confiando en su ya probado talento. Este domingo cerramos nuestro encuentro sonoro de cada fin de semana con Tracy Grammer, pareja artística del fallecido Dave Carter, con quien formó uno de los dúos de folk más recomendables de la última década del siglo XX. Nacida en Florida pero crecida en el sur de California, Tracy decidió seguir su carrera en solitario desde la inesperada muerte en 2002 de su socio debido a un infarto y hasta la fecha ha publicado cuatro trabajos en los que conserva el gusto por los sonidos clásicos, llenos de frescura y con un evidente tinte emocional. Así queda reflejado en su reciente versión "If I Needed You" una canción del inmortal Townes Van Zandt que ha recibido las más variopintas versiones, pero que en este caso conserva fielmente el espíritu con el que fue creada.

The Listener's Series continues as Pat and Kyle welcome Karli Anderson to the Guest Co-Host chair to discuss one of her favorite bands... The Replacements!!
We talk a lot about musical progression on Love That Album podcast. If you knew nothing about The Replacements background, and heard “Dope Smoking Moron” followed by Skyway (or even Can’t Hardly Wait), you’d be hard pressed to determine how they walked the line between one point and the other. For LTA episode 114, I'm joined once again by the wonderful music and film writer Heather Drain, and by the CEO of Cigar City Management, Randy Ojeda to discuss the ‘Mats fifth studio record Pleased To Meet Me. This was an important record. It was the first official album with Bob Stinson pushed from the band (it’s alleged he was rarely around for the “Tim” recordings). It was recorded with revered Memphis producer Jim Dickinson and featured a song with their hero Alex Chilton playing guitar (as well as another about him....as all LTA listeners are aware). This should have been a monster release for the band, but it only seems to be regarded as a well-received cult album. We discuss their respective discoveries of The Mats, their favourite albums, how Paul Westerberg changed as a songwriter, the myth of their musicianship being shoddy, Iggy Pop, the music industry and love as song topic influences, and anything else that they can think of in relation to the band and this album. Eric Reanimator discusses the band Zuzu's Petals whose album “When No One's Looking” appeared on The Replacements' original label Twin Tone. Huge thanks to both Heather and Randy for their enthusiastic involvement and insight. Contributors like them make doing the show a joy.

Today's guest literally wrote the book on The Replacements, and today he reveals the inside story of the making of 'Tim', their 1985 album that marked a significant step forward in the band's music and career. Bob explains how the album reflects the power shift between Bob Stinson and Paul Westerberg, what Bob uncovered about the making of Tim while writing ‘Trouble Boys’, why Paul Westerberg is smarter than he wants to let on, why the rest of Bob’s life will be forever linked to the Replacements, how writing the book changed Bob’s relationship with the album, what not to do when writing a music book and more stories and insights in to the personalities and music of the 'Mats. My Favorite Album is a podcast on the impact great music has on our lives. Each episode features a guest on their favorite album of all time - why they love it, their history with the album and how it's influenced them.

This week Shelley and Christian get into Trouble Boys: The True Story of The Replacements by Bob Mehr. Written with the participation of the group's key members, including reclusive singer-songwriter Paul Westerberg, bassist Tommy Stinson, and the family of late guitarist Bob Stinson, Trouble Boys is a deeply intimate and nuanced portrait, exposing the primal factors and forces—addiction, abuse, fear—that would shape one of the most brilliant and notoriously self-destructive groups of all time.
