false 852714 2 <div> At the dawn of “Morning in America”--a period that would nurse the rise of suit-and-tie culture--there emerged a national network of anti-corporate record shops, college radio stations, fanzines, nightclubs, and entrepreneurial record labels. In the watershed year 1981, this “indie” scene fostered several seminal releases. Among recordings by bands such as Sonic Youth, Black Flag, Hüsker Dü, The Minutemen, and R.E.M. was an album called Sorry Ma . . . Forgot to Take Out the Trash</i>, recorded by a scruffy, flannel-clad quartet from Minneapolis called The Replacements.<br> <br> Now, for the first time, all of the hearsay, half-truths, legends, and allegations associated with this maelstrom of a rock & roll band are unraveled in this oral history by longtime Twin Cities music journalist Jim Walsh. Through interviews with family, friends, and fans; former manager Peter Jesperson; Twin/Tone record label cofounder Paul Stark; and musicians around the nation influenced by the band, Walsh lays bare with painful clarity a tale that unfolds like a tragicomedy in three perfect acts. Celebrated by national publications, “the &rsquo;Mats” often seemed more hell-bent on sabotaging their status as critical darlings than parlaying it. With their markedly apolitical stance amid their decidedly political peers, their uncool embrace of “classic rock” influences like KISS and The Faces, and their Dionysian appetites (and the resulting tendency to literally fall on their own faces), The Replacements lasted 12 years despite themselves. From the band&rsquo;s founding to their rise through the local and national club circuits, their major label deal in 1985, and the slow and painful implosion that followed, The Replacements: All Over But the Shouting</i> lays down the gripping oral history behind the little band that could—but didn&rsquo;t.<br> </div> 838218 15 11 2007 The Replacements: All Over But the Shouting: An Oral History total:214|5:34|4:88|3:70|2:17|1:5| 214 771 309 71 4 1 true false Sat Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Fri Dec 28 07:15:33 -0800 2007 Mon Dec 31 11:42:00 -0800 2007 more...]]> 3 1 false false Sat Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Tue Dec 25 09:09:22 -0800 2007 Tue Jan 08 06:55:10 -0800 2008 more...]]> 3 1 false false Fri May 23 10:12:13 -0700 2008 Fri May 23 10:18:51 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 1 false false Thu Nov 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Fri Dec 28 06:28:48 -0800 2007 Fri Dec 28 06:31:12 -0800 2007 more...]]> 0 0 false false Fri Jan 09 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Fri Jan 09 06:35:14 -0800 2009 Fri Jan 09 06:35:14 -0800 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Tue Jan 27 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Wed Jan 28 16:10:43 -0800 2009 Wed Jan 28 16:15:59 -0800 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Mon Jul 06 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 06 18:19:22 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 06 18:23:05 -0700 2009
