As young boys, Bob Mould in northern New York State and Paul Westerberg in south Minneapolis each had a source for discarded jukebox 45s. Mould's was his shopkeeper dad's vendor friend. Westerberg's was his friend's bowling alley-owning stepfather. The reject/passé pop tunes made an impression, x 2
Funny I just read this interview with Mould the other day, where he says "I was born in 1960, so I grew up with pop music in my DNA. When I was a kid, jukebox singles were my toys..." I didn't realize he meant that literally!
We have several of the specific songs Westerberg lists that the Replacements got worked up far enough to record www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDbe...
... or performed and released on an official bootleg www.youtube.com/watch?v=0l3G...
... or just performed (Paul Westerberg and the Painkillers) www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXWJ...
I'm less well versed with recordings we might have that descend from Bob Mould's boyhood 45s ... but some of the titles here would fit the 1960s jukebox category www.thirdav.com/hd_discog/co...
