Well, I'm not gonna fight about The Smiths on ILF again. But I mean, I really don't think I'm out of bounds saying Replacements are as good, if you won't give me better, at least concede as good. Fuck, even D.o.S. did. That ought to tell you something. I mean... songs like "Bastards of Young," "Androgynous," "Alex Chilton," "Can't Hardly Wait," "Unsatisfied." I know Minutemen were important but were they more important that that ouvre? It would be pretty hard to find a band in American rock today that isn't heavily influenced by the 'Mats.
Anyway, I don't wanna get all foaming at the mouth! I'm actually enjoying being chill on ILF lately...? Go figure.
Everybody, I'm proud to say, I listened to Double Nickels again and I'm starting to really love it. Vocals are not my thing but the writing is amazing. "I'm a cesspool for all the shit to run down in." That line (in the context of the rest of the song) is incredible. Don't know why I didn't like it before.
