Paul Westerberg singing “Alex Chilton” in 2002.

Like many people who came of age in the 80s and 90s, I first heard of Alex Chiton via the Replacements song. Figuring something endorsed by Paul Westerberg had to good, I bought a copy of Big Star’s #1 Record/Radio City, and was hooked. RIP Alex Chilton, you’ll be missed.

About:

The scrapbook of a twentysomething multimedia fashion victim. Last Year's Girl, or Lis to her friends, is a journalist, blogger and amateur photographer. Some of these things actually pay her, but mostly she just wants to be liked. She likes social technology, homemade pizza, great-tasting lipgloss, Starbucks cappuccino and rock 'n' roll tales of redemption; makes her home in Glasgow and left her heart in New York City. She doesn't know why she needs a Tumblr account. Keep up with her at pixlet [dot] net.
