SUBJECT OTHERS TO YOUR FAVORITE MUSIC (BESIDES YOUR NEIGHBORS) ** //\\ //--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--\\ +-------+ ///\\\ | Christmas 1999 Skyway-er tape trade stuff | | O = O | ////\\\\ \\--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--// +-^---^-+ || I first heard most of my favorite bands, including The Replacements, from somebody else playing them for me; the results of proletyzing by friends and friends of friends, hearing a song while in their car and going "Hey, who's this?", or being the happy recipient of a mix tape. Despite the recording industry's worries to the contrary, I don't think there's a single thing that has garnered new fans for bands than home taping in the form of mix tapes. I first liked R.E.M. not because I heard "Stand" on the radio, but because my girlfriend in high school put "Ages of You" on the "While You're In England Tape" she made in November 1990. So that's why, for the fourth year, here's the annual Christmas Skyway tape trade, where you send a tape of your favorite tunes to another Skyway member. And you'll be getting a tape back. The end result is new tunes for yourself, new tunes for someone else, about a buck and a half in postage, and a new friend/acquaintance/(or in one reported case, significant other). Things are slightly different this year, so even if you've participated in the past, read up. How it works: 1) First, send a message to "matt@novia.net" with TAPE TRADE in the subject and your name and e-mail address in the message. 2) In return, on Saturday, December 11th, I'll send out to the list of paired names and e-mail addresses. Find who you're paired up with and write them to get their mailing address. You can also ask them if they already have a copy of a Replacements concert, or see if they've already heard some bands that you're thinking of putting on their tape. 3) Then make a mix tape (or CDR) of your favorite tunes, a live 'Mats show, keen new band you discovered, whatever you love. Just make sure the tape is at least 90 minutes long and on a high bias cassette. Again, the tape doesn't have to have Replacements-related material on it. (But it's safe to assume that sending somebody a copy of 'Let It Be' b/w 'Tim' is preaching to the choir here.) 4) Whip out the Crayolas, scissors, magazines, laser printer, or whatever and make a mighty keen tape label! Feel free include whatever else is laying around in the package: photocopies of articles, cartoons, pics, lyrics, a flier from a concert, candy, posters, whatever... It's totally a creative exercise on your part. It's nice to know that when that other person gets your package, they'll be opening it up and saying, "Wow, wicked cool!" (Remember, it's the season of giving and all that.) 5) Put it all in a package and it first class and make sure they get it before Christmas. Be sure and mail your tapes in a *padded mailer*. They're available at the post office for less than a dollar and it keeps everything from being smashed. ** Remember: if you are mailing a tape to Canada or overseas, you need to mail it from the post office to get a customs seal (a small green piece of paper) where you declare what's in the package. 6) Meanwhile, the person at the end of your tape trade assignment will be doing the same with you as the recipient, and soon you'll be receiving a tape yourself! THE 'BAD COP' PART: >> Deadline for participating is FRIDAY DECEMBER 10TH. You should have your tape in the mail by Saturday December 20th at the latest. Late Christmas gifts are sorta lame. >>> When sending in your address for an exchange, you've got half of a bargain. Someone else is going to send you a tape, and if you don't mail them one too, you're giving somebody the shaft...and that sucks. So don't sign up and then stiff somebody. >>> Don't get yer ass in trouble by sending letter bombs, roach clips, or anything else that will make somebody the subject of a federal investigation. So if you want to get in on this, just send a message to "matt@novia.net" with TAPE TRADE in the subject and your name and e-mail address in the body, and I'll send you your tape trading partner's address within a day or two. I'll try to honor any requests about your tape recipient (such as, "I want a guy who lives in California" or "give me somebody outside of North America!"). The whole thing will cost you no more than $4 (two bucks for a high bias tape and for the packaging and postage) and the time it takes to make your tape, address the envelope (however nifty you want to), throw some other junk in the envelope, and run down to the post office on your way home from work/school/bumming around. Hey, you can't lose: the person making you a tape probably has halfway decent taste in music...they already like one of your favorite bands, yah know? Anyways, depending on who you are, happy finals, or don't get tanked up and do anything regrettable at the office party, at least not on film. - M@. __________________________________________________________________________ I. 11/19/99 (Bob Stinson Tribute show at the Turf Club in Minneapolis, MN) Date: Mon, 22 Nov 1999 16:52:24 -0600 From: Chris Koehler Subject: Bob Tribute I went to the Bob Tribute at the Turf Club on Saturday. Let me just say to start, that the Turf is the coolest club in the Twin Cities right now. For me, this all started the night before. I got off work at 11, wanting to hear a band and drain a beer after a 13 hour day. So I headed down to the Turf and when I got there it was very crowded and the band was doing the Suburbs' "Love is the Law". Wait a second, it sounded like Chan Poling [of the Minneapolis band The Suburbs, also guest piano on "Sixteen Blue"], it _is_ Chan singing! What's going on here? They did one more 'Burbs song, "Chemistry Set", I got my beer, and headed closer to the stage. It turned out that this was a benefit for a food shelter or something, and the bands were doing tributes to local bands. The band that had just played was covering the Suburbs and had recruited Chan and another original Burb, Hugo Klaers (sp?), to fill in for bandmates who couldn't make it. And the next band up? A Replacements cover band! I could argue that they weren't the greatest, the vocals weren't up to Paul's, but that'd be nitpicking, because it was a blast to hear all those great songs live onstage again. And of course, a _true_ 'Mats cover band would do one 'Mats song and fifteen covers. On a weird personal note, I bumped into my soon-to-be-ex wife's former roommate and former good friend, Julie, whose brother was playing bass in the 'Mats cover band. Think my stbx will be hearing about that? Fuck no! Sporting a nasty hangover from the previous night, I showed up at the Turf at about 10:00 on Saturday for the Bob Tribute & the place was packed. Just about anybody who was anybody on the local scene was there. To eliminate the downtime for equipment changes, they had a set of house amplifiers (Marshall stacks for those who care) and a house drum kit, so they were able to hustle the bands on and off quickly. The first band that I saw were the Mighty Mofos, who I once saw fill in for the Replacements at the Uptown Bar right around the time that Bob got the boot, and they slammed through a set of four or five songs, closing with a 'Mats cover. They really are a terrific band. Next up were Whoops Kitty, who I'm pals with because two of the members, Cindy Lawson and Roxie Terry, were in the late great Clams, a local band I followed religiously in the '80s. Cindy, playing in a bra after ripping off her shirt at the beginning of the set, told her Bob story, about driving down Lyndale with Bob mooning passersby, "while I sat huddled under the dashboard embarrassed, because I'm not an exhibitionist or anything." They did not close with a 'Mats cover and Roxie said they hadn't had time to rehearse one. I gave her a little grief because they used to do "Love You Till Friday" and she laughed and said that Bob gave them shit about that, "Those aren't the right chords, you guys don't do it right." Let's see, who was next, the Superlosers, I think. That is Carleen (sp?), Bob's ex-wife's band. Carleen thanked everyone for coming and talked about the Bob memorabilia that was on display, including his mojo box or something like that, that he was very protective of and when Carleen opened it after he died, there was a coupon for free fishing tackle. I think Dale Nelson was next, he was the lead singer in Otto's Chemical Lounge. He was 'unplugged', singing with someone on acoustic guitar. He did a couple of songs, including a Big Star song, and it was a bit strange, because Dale was a screaming wild man when he fronted Otto's, and he was very subdued. Grant Hart followed with guitar and the Mofos' drummer. I thought he sounded great. I can't remember all the songs he did, but I think one of them was Christian nursery song, "Jesus Loves Me This I Know" or something like that. I swear it was. And he did another song about Jesus, but he also did one of my fave Husker songs "Green Eyes" and I think the title track to his EP, _2541_ which I had not heard before and it sounded great. Slim Dunlap and Curtiss A followed as a duo on acoustic guitars and although they didn't do any songs I was familiar with, they were fun. By now the place was _really_ packed and the beer was starting to hit me, so when some friends suggested another place to go, I decided to go for it. The Swingin' Teens were the next band up when I left and I know the Magnolias were supposed to play also, but you'll have to get a report from someone else about them. It was really a cool evening, I also got the chance to say hi to Jim Walsh, who I've emailed a couple of times. The topper for me, personally, was meeting a cool girl at a party later that night and getting her phone number. Of course, in what would make good 'Mats song material, she wasn't home when I tried calling on Sunday...

My review Date: Tue, 23 Nov 1999 01:44:03 -0600 Twas a Saturday night and the Bob Stinson gig was advertised in the local alt paper City Pages, after a bender Friday night at a cool loft party a few blocks away from the Turf where I ingested too much scotch & puffed too many Marlboro mediums. After feeling shitty all day, I made plans to hit my fave place to see the benefit at the Turf Club. Due to someone not calling me back and another friend of me going to the CC Club (ironically one of Bob's old haunts), I said fuck it! I am going to the Turf Club solo. I got in late at 11:00 p.m. The first band was Carlene Stinson's band (I think.) The guitar sound was tits! Big fat drop D tunings embraced the room. Next was Grant Hart and his fender Jaguar playing a kick ass version of the Husker Du song "Green Eyes" where he kept repeating "let in the sun", and "2541" - the song about the house in Uptown where the Huskers lived. Then Slim [Dunlap] and [his old band] Curtiss A got up and played a few acoustic numbers. The first one they did seemed to have the chords from some Mats tune. Next a guy got up and talked about how he played in one of Bob's earlier bands. He talked of how they used to practice in a boxcar. One night after they got done with practice and were tripping on acid at 4:00 a.m. The whole band went into a hotel to call a cab. Bob sat in the lobby and went "hhhhkkkkk" and spit a loogie on the floor. The night manager came up to him and said, "Did you just spit on the floor?" Bob looked up at him and said "not belligerently" The whole Turf Club laughed. Then, this guy got up on stage telling this "Bob story" next time you do something bad and get questioned just say "not belligerently." Then the Swingin teens played. The guitar player had his Marshall definitely on 11! I think at the last Mats tribute show at the Turf Club I went to a few years ago they played "Something in the Way" from Nirvana's Nevermind. The Teens' did a cool Ramones song called "I Lost My Mind" - the lyrics are "gimme some skin, gimme some gin..." They said it was one of Bob's fave songs. Next the Magnolias got up and started with "I'm in Trouble". The Mags played this with so much intensity. Like their whole lives depend on it. Lead guitarist Eric "new" Kassel played with his guitar strung way low and just belting out more hooks than a bait shop. The Mags also played "Takin' a ride" which was awesome. I thought it was haunting yet awesome how while the Mags were playing a surge of distortion came though the guitar amps. I'm pretty sure it wasn't intentional, but it was like Bob's ghost was there tweaking the tubes in the JCM 900's for a joke. Johnny O'Halloran played a big ol Gibson Firebird bass in a odd color. Very cool. Next, Mike Leonard and his band the Bleeding Hearts played. I had seen them a few years ago at the Red Sea night club near the 400 Bar. The first tune they did was "Buck Hill", the song about a little ski place in Burnsville MN. The BL's played a show stopper with "Favorite Thing", one of my all time faves. Also they played "More Cigarettes" and "Tommy Gets His Tonsils Out." I love that line "My Cadillac's runnnnnin!!!'" Rob Rule, the emcee at the Turf, did a great job of organizing "BOB FEST". The stage had a picture of Bob as a backdrop, I would guess from around 4th grade era. Also a big BOB sign kinda like Kiss. There was a display case that had Bob's jacket from SNL plus other ticket stubs, pix. (It was kinda like a Elvis display at Graceland) ha ha. The whole Bob fest was to raise $ for the $5,000 park bench that will be installed next summer at Lake Calhoun. I spoke with a few other folks who agreed $5,000 was a lot of cake for a Park Bench!!!??? You better be able to get rid of any dandelions and weed's near that bad boy. Mike Leonard of the Bleedin Hearts cracked me up by saying "we'll all be smoking one-ee's and drinkin' 40's next summer on the bench." I miss Bob Stinson because I always thought he was one of the guys of my gang. Kinda like being in the Movie "The Outsiders" and one of your fellow members dies. I live in Uptown MN. Occasionally I'll take the bus or go for a walk through Minneapolis. I wonder what Bob thought about as he lurked around on a lot of the same streets I do. I saw the house where the cover for was taken for Let It Be. Plus, I laugh when I see Stinson Blvd. off Highway 94. This is the place where Gov. Ventura has named in tribute after our fave lead axe man. (just kidding) It is a real blvd. for those who do not know. Happy Les Pauls. Johnny "my Cadillacs running" Moulton From: "Daniel P Contreras, Jr" Newsgroups: alt.music.replacements Subject: Re: bob stinson remembered Date: Fri, 26 Nov 1999 21:53:08 -0600 All in all it was a pretty fun night. The place was draped with posters of Bob and the 'Mats and there was a display case with some of Bob's stuff, like a jacket he wore on SNL, guitar picks, dresses, stuff like that. They had 25 T-shirts with a picture of Bob on them selling for $20, one of which I bought. A projection TV played footage of a Bleeding Hearts show in St Cloud, MN and also played an interview Bob did on local access TV shortly before he died. Some of the bands played 'Mats songs, some played originals or covers. Quite a few 'Bob Stories' were told. Here was my favorite: A guy from the band Static Taxi told a story where he and Bob had just finished band practice, were completely loaded and decided to hit the town. They found themselves in a hotel lobby where there happened to be a piano. Bob sat at the piano and started to play "Imagine". While he was playing, he leaned over and spat a huge loogy on to the floor. A guy who worked at the hotel came racing over and yelled at Bob "Did you just spit on the floor!?!?" Bob looked up and replied: "Not belligerently." I thought it was funny anyway. I got to the Turf Club about 10 and I was pleasantly surprised to see that the place was full. Both upstairs and downstairs were fairly packed, which was a good sign. Former 'Mats in attendance included only Steve Foley and Slim, which was expected. The vibe in the place was really cool, everyone just having a good time. The bands played right after one another, no set-up, just plug in and go. This was great to keep things rolling but didn't do much for the sound. One member of each band was invited to perform wearing a dress that Bob had worn on stage, some accepted, some declined. The much maligned Carleen Stinson was pretty well behaved the entire night, performing "Bastards of Young" with her band Superloser, her guitarist did the vocals. Slim Dunlap and Curtiss A played an acoustic set with Slim on harmonica, playing a few old covers (No 'Mats). I won't say much about their performance other than to say that Curt called Slim the day after the show and asked Slim, "Slim - was I bad last night?" Slim replied "Yes, you were bad." Oh well. Other bands who played included The Mighty Mofos, Grant Hart, The Swinging Teens, The Magnolias (the last lineup), and the Bleeding Hearts, with Baby Grant Johnson filling in for Bob. A couple guys, billed as "friends of Bob's" played Big Star's "13" and the 'Mats' "Unsatisfied" I know I am forgetting a couple performers. The Swinging Teens put on a fabulous set of their originals, just rocked. The Mags played three 'Mats covers, including a great performance of "I'm In Trouble." The Bleeding Hearts also played a few 'Mats tunes, doing a fantastic job on "Nowhere is My Home." I think they raised quite a bit of cash that night, probably taking a sizable chunk out of the 5 grand needed for the bench dedicated to Bob. I know they got $30 of my hard earned dollars! I heard some people complaining that the sound sucked or that the covers weren't done right. The evening wasn't really about the sound or the covers, so that didn't bother me one bit. I had a blast. __________________________________________________________________________ II. Hellos From: "Garvis, Steven G" Subject: RE: [SKYWAY] [Fwd: bob stinson remembered]] (fwd) Date: Sun, 21 Nov 1999 15:32:52 -0000 i was already feeling a bit sad. i have moved to london and its the first time in, lemme see, about 16 years i have been anywhere without some replacements to play (i had resorted to going to cd now web site and listening to the little snippets there.) i managed to have money and find "all for nothin." i got back to work, put the disc in and had gotten to skyway when i got the email about the bob stinson tribute. i emailed everyone i knew in the city to tell them. made me miss that scene even more than i already did. i hope they went. ohhhhhhh...i have a request. i had to leave all my discs in storage. anyone out there got any sort of boots they'd be willing to dub/burn for me? please? i have money. From: "Michael Torno" Date: Sat, 20 Nov 1999 21:16:09 EST When reading of the elder Stinson's death in 1995 I was in momentary shock despite that I was well aware of excessive substance abuse which may have been sabotage to The Replacements and thus its successive material. Yet I could not help but recall rapid fire lead guitar solos- without resort to hammering - by its founder. I thought of the on stage mischief which I would never witness but was in evidence due to a photograph in an issue of "U.S. Boston Rock" circa 1985 where Stinson would perform without clothes. I also thought of the receding line atop his forehead where a grin was placed well under. Bob Stinson was without the adolescent charm that Tommy Stinson could easily display nor could he produce in well written melodic strength that the near poetic Paul Westerberg had. But what Stinson could illustrate was reckless artistry which was the foundation of the Replacements in its first six years. When its direction was in emphasis of discipline and to expand beyond the hyperactive punk related material it was fitting Bob Stinson was sacked. But thanks for the jump start you gave the Replacements Bob. It was one of just a few characteristics I can extract with fondness in the midst of a divisive Columbine like environment during the vacuous Reagan/Thatcher axis. From: Subject: swingin' party /mats Date: Sat, 16 Oct 1999 02:23:23 -0400 Pleased to meet you -- whatta site -- I am one of the many few who grew up with the Mats -- college radio 1982 WNDY at small liberal arts school in west central IN Wabash College. Used to play "Sorry Ma" cuts on the 6 AM show next to farm reports and small town news. Anyhooo--I used to travel the us to see the Mats. Got great stories, pix, personal encounters, especially the time i got an underage Tommy into bar after a Cincinnati show and proceeded to get hustled out of several beans. Or the show in Atlanta at the Buckhead Roxy Cinema Drafthouse when Paul and mates tore into a highly edited "Halls of Montezuma" with lyrics like "We will fight the Contras' battles"... I am Jeremiah and can't hardly wait to see Paul live again. Last time in Cincy the Goo Goo Dolls opened for the Mats and one of the 'Dolls sang the Johnette Napolitano part on "Problem" - no problem!!!

FYI - I'm as old as Paul W., and was on this list about 5 years ago, if I recall. I've been listening and seeing shows of his for nearly as long as he's been performing - first Mats show, sometime in '82 I reckon in Chicago either at Cubby Bear, Tuts or Exit - can't remember - and to me the magic has never gone away. This weekend, my band (Anthemic Pop Wonder) will bless our set with enormously rockin' covers of 20th Century Boy (done up Mats style) and Can't Hardly Wait (done up "Shit Hits Fans" style) as a birthday present for a friend. I can't hardly wait to play!

TOMMY'S FIRST GN'R ALBUM: "CHINESE DEMOCRACY" From: "K. BURK" Date: Thu, 11 Nov 1999 09:57:47 -0600 Axl Rose breaks long silence Guns N' Roses new album "Chinese Democracy" will be a "melting pot" of different styles that will be a reinvention of the Gunners' sound, says singer Axl Rose. The reclusive rocker broke a lengthy silence this week when he spoke to MTV and dropped some hints about the slow progress he has been making on the group's first album of original music since 1991's two-volume "Use Your Illusion." "There's some really heavy songs, there's some really aggressive songs, but they're all in different styles and different sounds. It is truly a melting pot," Axl said of "Chinese Democracy." "I originally wanted to make a traditional record or try to get back to an "Appetite" thing or something, because that would have been a lot easier for me to do," Rose told MTV, referring to the group's major-label debut, "Appetite For Destruction." Rose told MTV he has spent the lengthy hiatus "trying to figure out how to make a record," although no release date has been set for a new Gunners album. "I was involved in a lot of lawsuits for Guns N' Roses and in my own personal life, so I didn't have a lot of time to try and develop a new style or reinvent myself, so I was hoping to write a traditional thing, but I was not really allowed to do that." Fans can get a taste of the new Gunners' sound on the soundtrack to the new Arnold Schwarzenegger film, "End Of Days," which includes their song "Oh My God," a dense, tech-driven track that Rose described as having a "disco beat." Rose said the new style was especially inspired by the departure of original guitarist Slash. Original bandmate Duff McKagan and "Illusion"-era drummer Matt Sorum have also split the group. The group now includes former Replacements bassist Tommy Stinson, drummer Josh Freese and GN'R keyboardist Dizzy Reed. "That was their choice to leave. Everybody that's gone did it by choice," Rose told MTV. "To be honest, it was a long time for me since Guns N' Roses, as the old lineup had been fun, and the new guys have been a breath of fresh air," Rose noted. The new lineup of the band has re-recorded "Appetite For Destruction," the singer revealed, without specifying what purpose the re-recording would serve. A live album covering the group's early years, "Live Era '87-'93," is out Nov. 30. Rose also revealed Queen guitarist Brian May will appear on "Chinese Democracy." The group won't be performing New Year's Eve as rumored, but Rose vowed GN'R will be back on stage soon in support of the new record. "We'll be around," Rose promised. "I'm not working on all this to keep it buried. We plan on getting out there and doing it right." -- JAM! Music __________________________________________________________________________ IV.
