Replacements – I have heard of them, or at least maybe the New Replacements, or replaced? overall great punk jam. Seems punk rock likes to sing about super markets.
Beatles _ I sensed a little Bowie in this one. I don’t believe I have ever heard this song which is strange because my dad was a big beatles guy.
Replacements- A punky turn from these guys, to my ears. In their later work you hear dome of this brashness though the more unfettered underbelly stays contained. Great lead guitar work here. The band was famously dissatisfied with the sound on their album Tim and its remix and re-release decades later was deemed an epiphany. This rough jam has great sound- dirty, but clear.
The Replacements – Customer
Raw fuzz energy. Wow, not quite a minute & a half. A burst of a song. What a wonderful mess, yet somehow tightly contained.
“Uh… Where are the Twinkies?”
The Beatles – I’m So Tired
It’s impossible to pick a favorite Beatles album, but I do love me some White Album. The production is exquisite. I have a memory of trying to figure out the bass for this and never quite getting it – lacking the necessary discipline.
The song itself is sleepy, with a couple of welcome chugs. Packs a lot into 2:08. That Lennon has quite the backing band on this one.
“I’m So Tired”/Beatles. Two familiar ones this week. Here, one of Lennon’s state-of-my-mind addresses. Interestingly, on the famously experimental White Album, the chords and arrangement on this (as on “Back in the USSR”) harken to early rock ‘n’ roll. Johnny appropriately shows off his high range on “give you everything I’ve got …”. The Sir Walter Raleigh line remains amusing.
This comment may be slightly out of turn here as it may be adjacent to revealing the What and Why of this song (I’m sure it will win on appeal), but apparently the Sir Walter Raleigh shout out –aside from it being a brand– was John referencing that SWR is credited with poularizing tobacco in England after seeing people smoking it in the colonies. John smoked a lot and didn’t like that he did.
“Customer” by The Replacements”: and I thought the STP song was short. Put your finger in the socket. He established clearly he is the customer. I liked. Can I get change?
“I’m So Tired” by The Beatles: A bit EMO. Have not heard this in a long time. Reminded me how much I like it. Love how it builds tension.

Smoke Too Much? Appealing.
