An Unheard Version of the Replacements’ Most Prescient Classic
Plus a prime slice of ‘High Fidelity’-core, a drum’n’bass surprise from Steve Lacy, and more
Five Songs is a weekly series for paid Hearing Things subscribers in which we each choose a new song we like and write about why we can’t stop listening to it.
This time we’ve got an unearthed take of perhaps the most ageless ballad the Replacements ever made, hardcore punk from New Jersey that will make you want to run through a brick wall, a Steve Lacy swerve with juicy breakbeats, a baggy jammer that could fit on the High Fidelity soundtrack, and a heart-tugging rap track that just might make you call your mom. Plus convenient links to playlists where you can hear all of our favorite new music. As ever, thanks for listening!
