Genre: Punk, Alternative Rock
是該寫 The Replacements 了。自從幾年前認識了他們，他們直接晉升我最愛的團體之一，如果不是第一名的話。為什麼？原因很多，他們寫的歌既熱血，又流行，而且還朗朗上口。還有他們的態度，有點無賴，有點智障，不按照牌理出牌，非常搖滾，很多真情，但也很多無所謂。如果看這篇的你還沒有聽過他們的音樂，你可能很難想像這些形容詞能湊在一塊，但他們就是這樣。特別是在這張專輯，你可以聽到他們的許多面貌。雖然很多樂評都選上一張，Let It Be 作為他們的經典之選，但這張專輯飽滿的品質絕對不輸 Let It Be ，就個人而言，我可是愛著這張專輯裡的每。一。首。歌。
歌曲裡含括了內容也有很多不同的主題，有年輕不安的心，有青少年渴望接吻的情節，有對著空姐靠腰的歌，有對於內心脆弱的剖白，有對於女人虛榮的批判和自嘲，有出社會後卻格格不入的沮喪心情。這些歌曲都是主唱 Paul Westerberg 寫的，用一個赤子之心，描述著走在社會邊緣，對這社會充滿不爽的人的真情歌曲。或許這就是為什麼我這麼愛著 The Replacements ，雖然身穿上搖滾的外衣，但其實內心我們都還是一樣的幼稚，長不大。而重點是，從他們的行為舉止表現出來的，他們真的是這樣的一群人。因此讓我覺得我要更喜歡他們。音樂的商業性，多少音樂人用這樣的主題來吸引樂迷，好讓他們走上金字塔的頂端。而 The Replacements 呢？他們從來就不曾上去過，也完全沒有意願。

Sorry Ma, Forgot to Take Out the Trash
聽完這張後，我更可以確定他們是世界上最棒的樂團。
我還沒有聽過他們全部的作品，不過慢慢的一張一張的在買。
真的是把我逗的超樂的。這絕對是聽 mp3 沒有的樂趣！
這張的The Replacements真得是超熱血也白目到爆！
像是 I Hate Music，Paul 怎麼會這麼天才寫出這樣白爛的歌詞？
I hate music Sometimes I don't
I hate my high school Sometimes I went
Tommy says so Tommy says so
Tommy says so Tommy says so so so so what
還有 Johnny's Gonna Die...
每次聽到他唱 Na na na na，就會忍不住笑出來。
明明就是一首 heartbreaker，為什麼要唱 Na na na na?
我想這就是我愛他們的原因！
因為我買得是 reissued 的版本，裡面多加收了幾首值得推薦的。
Customer (Alternative take) 真的超瘋超酷的！
我最愛 Paul 黑白亂唱了！
再來就是感人到不行的If Only You Were Lonely。
他們怎麼可以這麼狠，出的每一招都是我的要害！
下面是1981 年的他們。Paul, Bob 跟Chris 都二十歲上下。
但是Tommy 才十四歲多。So What?

Cry Baby Cry
You and I fall together
You and I sleep alone
After all, things might be better
after 1, and there's one that's long gone
For the moon you keep shootin'
Throw your rope up in the air
For the kids you stay together
You nap 'em and you slap 'em in a highchair
All you ever wanted was someone to take care of ya
All you're ever losin' is a little mascara
Afternoon, things are quiet
Settle back now if you can
Stations clip by like a rocket
Don't you worry if you wonder why he ran
All you ever wanted was someone to take care of ya
All you're ever losin' is a little mascara
that you cry (3x)
your eyes out
All you ever wanted was someone might be scared of
All your ever losin' is
A little mascara
That you cry
(can't believe this fucking great song is not online, I have to upload myself...)
Here Comes A Regular
And everybody wants to be special here
They call your name out loud and clear
Here comes a regular
Call out your name
Here comes a regular
Am I the only one here today?
They call your name out loud and clear
Here comes a regular
Call out your name
Here comes a regular
Am I the only one here today?
The Replacements - Bastards Of Young
We're the sons of no one, Bastards of Young.God, what a mess, on the ladder of success
Where you take one step and miss the whole first rung
Dreams unfulfilled, graduate unskilled
It beats pickin' cotton and waitin' to be forgotten
We are the sons of no one, bastards of young
We are the sons of no one, bastards of young
The daughters and the sons
Clean your baby womb, trash that baby boom
Elvis in the ground, there ain't no beer tonight
Income tax deduction, what a hell of a function
It beats pickin' cotton and waitin' to be forgotten
We are the sons of no one, bastards of young
We are the sons of no one, bastards of young
The daughters and the sons
Unwillingness to claim us, ya got no word to name us
The ones who love us best are the ones we'll lay to rest
And visit their graves on holidays at best
The ones who love us least are the ones we'll die to please
If it's any consolation, I don't begin to understand them
We are the sons of no one, bastards of young
We are the sons of no one, bastards of young
The daughters and the sons
Young...take it, it's yours...
Random Notes
- I think my life is going backwards. Back to age sixteen, I had no love then and no love now. I don't know what I do all day except for daydreaming. I know I daydream all the time. No one hears and no one calls. Everything drags and drags. It's a boring state. I need the Replacements.
- I'm a fucking miserable bastard of young, hiding myself all day under my headphone.
- Everything is masturbation. University is mental masturbation. Daydreaming is emotional masturbation. Wanking is physical masturbation.
- Far out!
Unsatisfied
Cozy sunday afternoon, in my room. Broken.Ever since I heard the song "Unsatisfied" from Adventreland, me and the song are destined to have a life-long relationship. So I clicked the song, it randomly picks out some other songs that perfectly fits my circumstances. I love my Mediamonkey. Damn right, I blink and she's gone.
1. The Replacements - Unsatisfied
Look me in the eye
Then, tell me that I'm satisfied
Was you satisfied?
Look me in the eye
Then, tell me that I'm satisfied
Hey, are you satisfied?
And it goes so slowly on
Everything I've ever wanted
Tell me what's wrong
Look me in the eye
And tell me that I'm satisfied
Were you satisfied?
Look me in the eye
Then, tell me I'm satisfied
And now are you satisfied?
Everything goes
Well, anything goes all of the time
Everything you dream of
Is right in front of you
And everything is a lie
Look me in the eye
And tell me that I'm satisfed
Look me in the eye
Unsatisfied I'm so, I'm so unsatisfied I'm so dissatisfied I'm so, I'm so unsatisfied I'm so unsatisfied Well, I'm-a I'm so, I'm so unsatisfied I'm so dissatis,dissattis... I'm so
2. Morrissey - It's Not Your Birthday Anymore
It's not your birthday anymore
There's no need to be kind to you
And the will to see you smile and belong has now gone
It's not your birthday anymore
Did you really think we meant All those syrupy, sentimental things That we said?
3. The Radio Dept. - It's Been Eight Years
It's been eight years
I'd like to travel through time
But I can't do that
I never knew that good experiences Could cause a pain like this
I want something that I can't have
4. The Softies - My Empty Arms
5. Harold Budd With Zeitgeist - I Blink And She's Gone
