Lost my dad about a month ago and he was obsessed with The Replacements since he first heard Let It Be as a twenty-something year old. The 3 CD's you could always bank on him having in his car was Tim, The Only Ones and I'm Stranded by The Saints. After he died, me and my mum searched through his house and found about 20 lists of "funeral songs" but Left Of the Dial was the only song on every list. Thank you for introducing me to such great music, it's because of you that the 'Mats are now my favourite band ever, and thank you for not only being a great dad, but a best friend also.
For anyone who doesn't know, "Left of the Dial" means radio stations below 92.1 which the FCC reserved for public and educational radio. It's where all the beloved US college radio stations lived.
Probably my favorite mats song, and the song by ANY band that evokes the late 80s more than any for me. It gets so much across, in a few stanzas. A masterpiece.
This song is like a time capsule now with all the streaming and MP3s comprising so much of the airwaves. I'm glad I can always find the Replacements left of the dial though.
growing up in the 80's midwest, hearing about bands from a friend, and the college station at the low end. Loved the replacements, even though live I never heard them get through a song without major mistakes or inter-band arguments
Only saw them live once--Cleveland in '88, I believe--but they did not manifest the legendary mayhem. Unless I forgot. Then again, Bob was out by then, so it was a different phase.
Video is so in tune with the point of the song. As i've red somewhere, Paul was in love with a girl, with whom he broke up recently. She was a singer in a band, and only way he could hear her voice was if he left radio playing, hoping her song would come up on. So single frame camera, pointing to the speaker is him waiting for the song to come on.
this is what Westerberg had to say about it to Rolling Stone: Left of the Dial is the story of this girl, a guitar player, Lynn Blakey, who toured with Mitch Easter’s Let’s Active. We got to be friends. She wanted me to write her a letter, but I never write letters. I figured the only way I’d hear her voice was with her band on the radio, left of the dial on a college station. And one night we did. We were passing through a town somewhere, and she was doing an interview on the radio, left of the dial. I heard her voice for the first time in six months for about a minute. Then the station faded out.
True, but then the gatekeepers would show up and go ‘you knew about this from TikTok while I found it on cassette, stop trying to steal our stuff’ Like Sir, don’t you have a mortgage to pay?
I mean idk if at 33 I’m considered “youth generation” but I heard this in Moe’s last week & now I’m obsessed and in a rabbit hole. My mom was a teen in the 80s and I’m still floored that she didn’t know this gem
Tim is one of the greatest albums of all time. It’s also the last albums with the original line up. Bob left the band after this album. If he could’ve stayed… .
my god this is proto pop punk. When I was growing up in the 90's downloading wav or mp3 whatever was first on dialup. Many bands were imitating this sound.
These days I watch this video and wonder what might have happened if the band weren't driven by ODD (oppositional-defiance-disorder). They repeatably shot themselves in the foot. If that didn't work they went for the cranium shot. True, they were somewhat ahead of the times, but this could have caught fire. Or Bastards of Young or even Little Mascara. They deserved millions and got.... a few bucks. I'm glad they've at least received the recognition they deserve.

Notice the Tim lp has a drill hole in the cover? It was from the cut-out bin. More Mats humor! Btw, this is originally the video for Bastards of Young.
its a nice thought but that's actually a promo hole, not a cutout drillhole. but that makes sense, no one in the band or company was gonna spend money to buy a copy for themselves when they could get freebies
Funny thing: all these Replacements videos just showing the stereo (didn’t they do a few like this?) make more sense on RUclips than most 80s music vids do.
The story behind this video is that they had to film a video for the record company - but they found in the contract that they didn't actually have to appear in the video. So instead of doing some cool rockstar thing they just filmed a speaker... Which pissed a lot of people off... But actually fits them perfectly - it's not about them, it's about how the music makes you feel.
I'm really love with the line, "Pretty girl keep growin' up; playin' make up, wearin' guitar." It's seems Paul playing by twisting the verbs, i might be wrong bcs my english not that good, but it seems so to me.
I loved it when I saw it the first time. Now I lament the shoot yourself in the foot and then shoot yourself in the head attitude. When I saw them at the end of their career they left Elvis Costello in the dirt. When I saw them re-united I could tell that people who'd never heard of them dug them deeply. It does seem a waste. They deserved better, but worked hard to make sure they didn't achieve it.
@@robertmcmanus9185 some bands like to stay underground, out of sight. This even makes them more precious than their good songs or albums. I think they were just some ordinary guys, except Bob. He was too wasted to be a pro rock n roll star. Rest of them were not that self destructive or wasted that you might think.
Can you treat it like an oil well, where it's underground out of site. Great line from Pavement and I like the idea of bands wanting to stay out of site. I think The Replacements, however, simultaneously wanted success and obscurity. Of course you can't do both at the same time. That said, I'd say I agree, Bob was totally out of control. Mind you, the others weren't that far behind. Read Trouble Boys. It's pretty disturbing. I don't think they were ordinary guys either. I've met Tommy a few times. He's extraordinarily quick on his feet. Snappy comebacks that would make a stand-up comedian jealous and if you see his lyrics he's got a way with words that convinces me he's very bright. Paul is also very bright from my perspective. Not such ordinary guys in my opinion.
@@robertmcmanus9185 Pavement could sign a huge label back then but they decided to stay with the matador records, that’s why they’re best band ever in my opinion. I agree, Paul had the eager for a huge fame and he also wanted that money so much. Tommy is my favorite member. He was really beautiful and handsome back then, he still is. I always thought he’s the quite guy but it’s now very interesting for me that you say he’s a hyperactive guy. But unlike his brother, he wasn’t that much wasted. I always thought Paul was the naughty guy and the hyperactive one, maybe because of I’ll Be You music video. His lyrics are intellectually punk and rebellious. Bastard of Young’s lyric should be the Punk Scene’s anthem. I really like to read that book but I never really decided to start reading it. I should read it as soon as possible… .
@@Abegoldhatch It's a disturbing book to be sure. Reading about them broke and hungry, but burning the little bit of money that they made, or just how far the drinking/drugs got out of hand. Tommy's not so hyperactive. He's just so mentally quick, he has a joke at the ready immediately. You can see how much he loves laugh. He's a special guy to be sure.
The Replacements were one of the 10 greatest groups from the 80's through to the implosion of The Libertines in 2004. In no particular order add, The Smiths, Stone Roses, Nirvana, Oasis, The Strokes, The Go-Betweens, Fugazi, and Pavement. Love them all on different days.

The music is the important thing, the music video concept is just a shallow marketing tool, that's why it's so basic.

Kevin Stetz yeah, it's too fast, and also the video is actually the video for Bastards of Young. Still, it's a cool video, and it works just as well for this song as it does for Bastards of Young.
Actually, they shot videos for Bastards of Young, Hold My Life, Left of the Dial, and Little Mascara, all in this similar format (black and white, speaker shots, guy smoking cigs).
masterfully evokes late nights, lonely highways, and missed connections - without actually saying much about them at all.

One of the greatest songs of the 1980s, written about Let's Active, another 80s great.
Mitch Easter and Drive In Studio MADE bands
Actually, just simply written as a love song to his girlfriend at the time and college radio stations where they got most of their airtime.
Tim is one of the best albums of the 80s.
got me though high school! lived in my car stereo for 6 months when I discovered it
Honestly, all of the Replacements first five albums are some of the best albums of the eighties, especially Let It Be and Tim.
@@tannerboyle7719 when did you discover it?

TIm is one of the greatest albums of the 80s hands down
IMO nowhere near as great as "Let it Be"
When your video budget is under $100 and you still have money for beer after the shoot.
they had a budget, they just did this so it wouldn't get played on TV
@@tinnitusthenight5545 They ended up playing Bastards anyway. Kicking the shit out of that speaker didn't hurt I guess.
