Bedtime for Chinese Democracy?
Upon learning that Paul, Chris and Tommy have recorded two new songs to appear on a Replacements compilation, several questions leapt to my mind. First and foremost, did Tommy get a permission slip signed by Axl? Was Slim Dunlap busy (and if so, with WHAT?) Were there tense or awkward moments for Chris Mars ("Hey guys, sorry about that 75% Less Fat thing...")? Does this recording session session open the door for a Replacements reunion? And if there's one foot in that door, shouldn't we close it firmly and walk away? For those involved, I guess it beats picking cotton and waiting to be forgotten.(Let me just say here that I have MUCH LOVE for the music of the Replacements, but I prefer my memories the way they were, and I'd rather see the long-rumored box set of rarities than another compilation of previously released material.)

Yay! Woggles!
So I haven't listened to much Replacements stuff. What's a good, solid starting point?
If there is a rarities collection, it damn well better have "If Only You Were Lonely" on it...
"If Only You Were Lonely" was recently posted at the mp3 blog Medication.
Rich, I would suggest you start with Let It Be, and then work your way backwards.
