Replacements book
I picked up "The Replacements: All Over but the Shouting, An Oral History" today. I'm not sure when I'll sit down and really read the whole thing. But I've flipped through, and there are a number of comments about the Mats from SA's Dan Murphy, as well as tidbits about the overall Mpls music scene. It looks like it would be a fun read for people who are fans of these bands.

"...and who is the hound at the downtown dog pound who speaks english when the watchman's not in sight?"
I went to that, it was a really good time! Can't say I'm all that familiar with the entire 'Mats catalogue, so a lot of songs were new to me (not to mention the bands as well).
From a cost standpoint, that was a very fine evening of musical entertainment!
Band that really stood out for me was the Red Flags

When I die I won't own crap, but my kids will have a hell of a music collection to fight over
