The Mats were one of my faves back in the day and here are 2 different views of one of their classics. The live version is a spirited performance but the audio is hardly top quality so I included the homemade vid where the audio is excellent while the visual has a 'Wavelength' (1967) quality. 'Wavelength' is a classic experimental film that consists solely of a camera zooming for 45 minutes across an empty loft apartment, which is mesmerizing to some, utterly frustrating to others. This homemade homage to the Replacements is similarly mesmerizing/frustrating. But this is only 4 minutes long and does actually feature a hint of action (completely inexplicable as it may be) at the end. Also, I gotta say back in 1986 Paul Westerberg teased his hair more than I recall (and Chris Mars perhaps less).
