You wanna know my absolute favorite thing about Paul Westerberg.net? It’s how Wolfdogg posts a different version of Can’t Hardly Wait every week.

When I finally turned off MPR because I have information overload (and I need to write), the first thing Eurydice shuffled up was “Left of the Dial” by The Replacements. That portends something. I just have no idea what it is.

It seems that the only thing I can do lately is listen to Prince, Otis Redding, Stevie Wonder, or The Replacements’ “Tim” on repeat. That’s all I am capable of. I can’t read, I certainly can’t write, I can’t concentrate, and about the only thing I can do while listening to the music is howl [...]

Tonight I was digging around on Amazon, looking for some stuff on a piece for Paul Westerberg.net, when I came across this. Apparently the Barefucking Naked Ladies are fans of Paul Westerberg too. They are ruining everything.

Reveille has a Q&A with Jim Walsh about the ‘mats book coming out in November.

A few weeks ago I alluded to balancing feelings with creative desires. After much internal debate, a lot of counsel from friends (thanks Peabo, Sparky, etc.) I went forward with my project.
So darling ones, I am pleased as punch to announce the brand-new Paul Westerberg.net: A Bad Idea Whose Time Has Come. Yes, after seven [...]

Paul Westerberg to play MGD shows in the Twin Cities for some online music thing?

I used up all the words. I took all the adjectives and put them in my copy. I hoarded the nouns for my intro graphs, the verbs too. I even stole all the adverbs that nobody ever wants. There are no leftovers, I gave them all away. If I could find some words I would [...]

From the Fakebook event on Saturday. You can’t see Boquist reading to Paul, but you do see Paul correct him.

Okay, did I forget to mention that during the Fakebook event we were treated to beyond-amazing musical performances by Steve Wynn, Mark Olson (The Jayhawks), Lori Barbero (Babes in Toyland), and well, St. Paul Westerberg himself?
Holy shit. During the intermission Westerberg strode on stage leaned into the mike and said, “We supposed to kill time.” [...]

Do you ever get so full of joy that you’re pretty sure you are going to burst right out of your skin? It was every thing I could do last night to stay in my skin while sitting in my seat at The Fitzgerald Theater in St. Paul.
Last night was perfectly perfect. It’s not [...]

The Replacements: All Over But the Shouting: An Oral History by Jim Walsh is coming out. Sadly we have to wait until November.

From todays Cross Currents, the newsletter of 89.3 The Current:
We here at The Current are super-pleased to announce the line up for our next Fakebook event, the final in this year’s series, taking place June 16 at the Fitzgerald Theater. Those of you who have been following the Minnesota music scene for the past 20 [...]

Rumor has it, according to the Man Without Ties message board, that one Mr. Paul Westerberg might be ponying up to the mic during his wife Laurie Lindeen’s appearance as part of 89.3 The Current’s Fakebook series hosted by Mary Lucia.
Lindeen will be performing with her former-band Zuzu’s Petals and talking about her new memoir [...]

First of all the Software Man just walked by to tell me that I look hungover and that I should go in the mothers’ room and take a nap. I told him, “You might as well have just said Chromey you look like complete shit.”
“Well, it’s not complete shit,” he responded.
To make up for the [...]
