OH MY GOD YOU GUYS THE REPLACEMENTS ARE BACK! THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER! EVERY BAD THING THAT HAS HAPPENED TO ME IN MY LIFE IS OKAY BECAUSE OF THIS!

Whoa, got a little carried away, but still, this is great news. The much-beloved Minnesota band has reunited to release an EP of covers called Songs For Slim, in honor of the band's former guitarist Slim Dunlap. The first track from the EP was released yesterday, a cover of Gordon Lightfoot's "I'm Not Sayin."  The band sounds as tight as ever on this track, and the promise of four new Mats tracks to come is all the more enticing. Let's hope this leads to the band finally making a new album of material, which hasn't happened since 1990.

The track was released on Pitchfork yesterday. Check it out here.
