Several additions, a few subtractions[edit]

I generally fleshed out the history of the band, including lineup changes, but most importantly adding their final album. Since there is a separate article on Mitch Easter, I omitted some details about Chris Stamey and Sneakers, but left in the REM productions, which have broader significance. (Sneakers needs its own article, which I may start soon.) I did change the wording of the REM and IRS references, which seemed to confuse the timeline. (Let's Active was signed to IRS concurrently with Easter producing REM.)--emw 16:16, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Left of the Dial[edit]

I heard that the Replacements' song "Left of the Dial" was about Let's Active. They were touring and Paul Westerberg fell in love with a girl from this band and wrote the song about them. In the song the band is called "Sweet Georgia Breezes". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.170.155.196 (talk) 01:56, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

dead link for Ref 14 - this is an archive[edit]

https:// archive is /TaZhP#selection-1241.0-1355.233 --- whomever is looking over this page can fix the reference for Faye Hunter's RIP announcement. You must change the "archive is" back without the spaces and a dot. 98.67.190.23 (talk) 06:37, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Can't do that, because that Icelandic archive site is blacklisted. So I removed the dead link, and added the obituaries from Spin and Billboard instead. They provide substantially the same information. Lwarrenwiki (talk) 14:12, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
