Apparently today was quiz day at work and I didn't get the memo. I was holding my own, or so I thought, until my boss hit me with this trivia bit: "Which came first, blues or jazz?" My answer was met with a disapproving sigh and head shake. My punishment for the incorrect answer: an afternoon of listening to The Replacements, because apparently I also know nothing about eighties alt rock bands to come out of Minneapolis.
Just when my ears were about the start bleeding, the ipod hit me with "Bastards of Young." This song title is significant to me because it shares a name with a punk rocumentary that follows the careers of some of my favorite bands...The Starting Line, Midtown, Jimmy Eat World, Taking Back Sunday and Fall Out Boy (pre-From Under the Cork Tree, pre-Warped Tour, pre-Ashlee baby daddy OBVS). Check out the DVD preview here.
I can only assume the later was named after the former. That realization gave me an entirely new respect for the significance of this band. Check out the song below. And let me ask you this...which came first, blues or jazz?
The Replacements - "Bastards of Young"

Dude. Blues. Seriously. Not that I took an entire class in it or whatever. <3.
