Video".

Interview with Ted James
1. Favorite thing about the Replacements? "You're
my favorite thing!" Seriously, it's the songs, of course.
2. Replacements history? I was digging through a
pile of CDs in a pawn shop in 1989 and happened upon a used copy of "Don't
Tell a Soul." I figured that it was time for something new. I'd heard the
name, but I didn't recall ever hearing their music. So I plopped down six
bucks and took it home for a listen. I was hooked immediately. "I'll Be
You" became one of my all-time
favorite songs ever. And then I got to see them live twice on their
last tour and became a fan for life. It didn't take me long to buy all
of their CDs. I've been having a blast over the last 10 years collecting
all of the B-sides and rarities.
3. Why bother to pay tribute to 'em? Because they
are my favorite thing!
