The new reissue of the Replacements’ 1985 album ‘Tim’ is full of revelations.
music performance ever at that point, by a mile, and still one of the best ever, four punks banging out “Bastards of Young” and “Kiss Me On The Bus” in their Seventies nerd-wear. A glorious life-affirming racket that makes you want to jump off the couch and tell all your friends or create your own art or just dance around and play air guitar. But when people talk about it now all they remember is how it hurt Lorne Michaels’ feelings, which couldn’t be less the point.
“Nowhere Is My Home” is still the show-stopper, with a high-energy alternate romp. But it’s best in the original 1985 outtake—the Stasium remix is busier, stepping on the Bob Stinson third-rail guitar that tells most of the story. “Swingin Party” takes on new dimensions, with added twang; very different, but equally essential. Like most Replacements fans, I was too theatrically illiterate to hear the connection to the Rodgers/Hart standard “Where Or When.
The heart of the album is “Bastards of Young,” where he sings, “The ones who love us best are the ones we’ll lay to rest / And visit their graves on holidays at best / The ones who love us least are the ones we’ll die to please / If it’s any consolation, I don’t begin to understand them.” It’s no consolation at all, actually—the empathy in his voice trails off before he even gets through “understand.” He just spills a bleak confession, then lunges the other way to avoid eye contact.
