What’s this? I’m trying to blog once a day for 50 days! Inspired by Forking Mad and Lou Plummer.

Write a review of your favorite album. What lyrics mean something special to you?

Boy, I’m not sure I could pinpoint a single favorite album. It changes from time to time, and when I think of particular parts of my life I can think of the favorites at the moment. Right now… hmm.

The album I think is held up the highest, especially because of the remastered Let It Bleed edition last year, is The Replacements’ Tim. This is an album where Paul Westerberg’s songwriting is at its peak. The powerful guitar, steady power-ballad beats, they all work together to create a perfect, memorable experience from start to finish. The standout track is Little Mascara, in my opinion, although if pressed I would say Left of the Dial is my favorite.
