In the Blogs: Jodi’s filled with ennui edition

How Foreigners View America. I’m not usually one to pimp Klosterman, but this is pretty funny and contains this bit of hilariousness:
Someone selected Ryan Adams. This made me happy for two reasons. The first is that I suspect Adams is something of an underrated semi-genius, and I like the fact that he’s more appreciated in places where nobody cares whether or not Paul Westerberg hates him.
Pointless Confession of the Week: I loathe the Tommy Stinson song “Without a View” it always leaves me lunging for the music player and pressing skip as fast as I can.
Laurie Lindeen will be doing a reading with Rockstar Mommy Judy Davide in Royal Oaks on July 27th. This may or may not be in the Chicago area. I cannot tell. But I suppose if you know where Royal Oaks is, you’ll be stoked.
5 Good Pop Culture References in Songs includes Bastards of Young.

The response when this dude asks if anyone has heard of Paul Westerberg is a little heartbreaking. An interesting choice for a cover. Lead singer dude is adorable.

In the Blogs: The nobody’s doing any good writing so I’ll tell you about this show edition
Posted by Jodi | Filed under In the Blogs
Someday, I am going to populate this list with nothing but links to The Replacements movie or the The Replacements cartoon or knee replacements. Why? Because that would make me laugh. I should have probably done it this week, because I didn’t find anything of interest to link to. Boo to the hoo.
However, if you’re looking local (Minneapolis/St.Paul) and you’re looking for something to do this Friday, June 6th, and you weren’t invited to my birthday party (because my birthday is June 6th), you should go check out the How Was the Show 6th Anniversary Birthday Bash at the Turf Club.
Why? Because I am sure it will be filled with cool kids, and because one of the bands (the 757s) was described thusly: “First things first: These guys are capital-L Loud. The music, which is a mix of The Replacements ragged thunder and The Who’s jetliner roar, ends up sticking in your grey matter almost immediately.”. So, duh, you should go.

- • Feed the Ogre has a disappointing run-in involving ‘Unsatisfied’ and his kids.
- • WOXY counts down the top 500 modern rock songs (Alex Chilton is the highest ranking ‘Mats song, weird)
- • I really liked Linnet’s piece about All for Nothing, mostly because she talks about how when you break up you lose half your record collection
- • Here’s a great piece about Joan Jett, whom we all love, right?
P.S. Stop by the NEW Forum and tell us about the first time you saw the ‘mats or Paul Westerberg or see why PW.net is better than rightsaidfred.com.

It seems a lot of videos have been posted in the comments recently, and if you’re a lazy reader like me, I thought I’d bring them to your attention.
Dingus from Italy brought us this John Doe cover of “Here Comes a Regular”
And Jay Taco posted these two gems from 1986.
