ZIP: The Replacements - The Shit Hits the Fans

For you to enjoy: the 1985 officially released tape only bootleg "The Shit Hits the Fans" 24 song live show by the Replacements. The story behind this is it's own unique legend and I don't both to cut and paste it so wiki it up here.

This is the show you wish you'd stumbled into, where there was no one at the gig and the band sprinkled their set with fuckin' around covers from Thin Lizzy, Led Zep and Black Sabbath. Fur real. Download it, as it's essential for any 'Mats fan!

Welcome back with the Replacements.

I'd say we're long overdue for a post, don't you think? With the stress of the holidays, a broken computer and drowning at work, I fell behind and I am sorry. We're beyond looking back at a year that was and totally into looking forward at the year that's yet to be. With 2009 started up, I figured what a time to say hello and get back in the groove.

I got the Rhino reissue of "Pleased to Meet Me" by the Replacements with a X-Mas giftcard and it's been my current jam. Say hello to an old friend or introduce yourself to a new one by downloading it. See you sooner than later friends (aka maybe tomorrow).
