It’s either this or writing my accounting essay so its this. I love The Replacements, and I do quite like Paul Westerberg. His first solo album was 14 Songs, although the last Replacements album All Shook Down was supposedly just about a solo debut anyway. I like this album because even though its not so depressing punk as the Replacements first albums, he’s a cynical old man perhaps even moreso than Elvis Costello which is hard, and the songs are pretty damn good. I won’t write much more because I really need to finish this essay…. but if you want me to post any type of particular music email me or post a comment!!!! (It’s my birthday ya’ll).

If you started a punk clothing shop with Vivienne Westwood, then managed the New York Dolls, followed by the Sex Pistols, what would you do next? Well, record a South African inspired old-school hip-hop album with New Wave influences, followed by releasing Opera flavoured singles. This album, twice in a week I know how amazing am I thankyou fanmail is appreciated I’d be over the moon if I got any and know I wasn’t here all alone…….., is Malcolm McLaren’s debut, in 1983.
Duck Rock is a pretty funky album, most of the tracks are very cool indeed, although slightly cheesy now. The single Buffalo Gals sounds a touch like Grandmaster Flash if he were holidaying in South Africa, Double Dutch and Soweto are just fucking bizarre New Wave tracks. For your enjoyment…
