@SKT The snippets do sound really good. I really liked The Replacements,although I never saw them. When I was playing on the NYC circuit he/Ed was a pretty big deal. He,at that time was based out of Media Sound Studios,and they like a lot of studios,were looking to sign bands to production deals. That meant that if the studio gave you free time to record your demos,and you were fortunate enough to get a record deal,you would agree to record your album there,or reimburse them for the demo time. Media had hired Genya Ravan to look for bands for them,and it was Ed Stasium's assistant Ramona,who said to Genya I saw this band Sorrows at CBGB and you should check them out,and the rest is sort of history. I stayed friends with Ramona for a while,and she was the only person we thanked on our album. I saw Ed at the clubs,but never actually met him. Glad to hear that he's the one remixing The Replacements. And on a sad note Ramona is having a rough time with cancer. Sorry for rambling.

@SKT I haven’t listened to it yet but I read that it was amazing.

@Jett129 all of this backstory info is really interesting to me so I appreciate you posting it. I’ve now listened to a few of the “Stasium” remix tracks from Tim the difference is absolutely amazing. I had to look up Ed’s production credits and turns out he worked on a lot of my big teenage era albums. Smithereens, Soul Asylum, Ramones, Marshall Crenshaw.

@Jett129 shit - I flap my mouth about being a big fan and I had no clue he's been on Smithereens vocal duty for the last few years.
Excellent

@GraemeE said in Music:

This is actually the first song I ever heard of his and it sold me right away - its scrappy and catchy
Lore has it they used old marching band drums from an Elks Lodge to record with

SKT

@GraemeE I love all his stuff. His debut album is one of my all-time favorites. Jangly pop perfection

Jett129

@GraemeE Great track,may have to look into that.

GraemeE

@Jett129 apparently he also filled in on guitar for MC5 a few years back

Jett129

@GraemeE I kind of like to think I should have known that,as the MC5 is one of my all time favorite bands. After doing some digging, I found that he played witn The MC5 in 2004.
