Bash & Pop - "Friday Night Is Killing Me" (REPOST)


Yet another one of those "used to have on vinyl" releases......got this back in 1992 and was pleasantly surprised by it. The vinyl got liquidated long time back, then about 3-4 I still heard some of these tracks rattling around in my big mellon (always a good sign!). I tried to sniff out the CD only to realize it was now out of print. I ended up buying through an Amazon seller, and overpaying for a cut-out. But hey I now have it on CD, and still really dig this one!!
Stylistically not that far off the Replacements. Escpecially faves like Never Aim To Please, Hang Ups, and Friday Night Is Killing Me. If you're a Mats fan and haven't heard this......get down to it my friend.
Damn shame both Westerberg and Stinson aren't still putting out cool music in this day & age. But with the way the "business" is.....why bother!? I see Stinson is still trudging around with Axle "Fruitcake" Rose......suppose he's got to eat too......
Rock Steady Gang!
