For those of you who have forgotten, Trip Shakes is one of my Nerdery co-workers. He’s the bomb digs, for real. When I interviewed there last fall he asked me what was the best forty-nine cents I ever spent. I bombed the question because I was really seriously thinking about it, and he was making [...]

Of all the questions to blow
The interview was winding down, when one of my interviewers asked a final question.
“What’s the best 49 cents you ever spent?” he asked.
“Wow,” I said, and cocked my head to the side to think. “Gee. . .”
“This is a softball one,” he said.
“Huh.” I said. “I don’t know.”
“Paul Westerberg’s 49:00,” he said.
“Oh man!” I screeched. [...]

Absolute madness, two more Paul Westerberg songs
I have no idea what’s going on here. This is the third release from Paul Westerberg in less than a month, or is it just over a month? I can’t remember, time means nothing to me. Anyway for those of you inclined to this kind of thing you can download the new album which is [...]

Five (oh the irony) more minutes of Paul Westerberg for $1
Just tonight Vodo and I were talking about Westerberg’s 49:00 record and I was telling him how it mysteriously vanished off the Web for reasons I couldn’t figure out. We chalked it up to Westerberg being just a crazy ol’ fucker.
Turns out it was probably copyright problems, at least that’s what I gather based [...]

Dear Paste, I am still not Paul Westerberg
So Paste magazine has posted my (un)official tracklist for Paul Westerberg’s 49:00.
While I am touched that Paste has said about my made up song titles, With track titles like “Six Seconds of Stuff†and “Squeaky Obscene,†Westerberg seems to be letting the creative juices flow on this one. I feel a little guilty that [...]

49:00
You can download 49:00 on Amazon, Paul Westerberg’s new, um, thing for 49 cents. If you haven’t used the Amazon MP3 downloads before, it’s pretty swanky. I am downloading it as I type.
WOOHOO.

Stuck inside a Paul Westerberg song or I am the Friday night frozen pizza queen
I often make jokes that the female equivalent to Paul Westerberg’s “Man Without Ties” is “Woman without Bras.” Sure it doesn’t have that nice double meaning, but well, it’s not my fault that bra doesn’t have another meaning.
Anyway this afternoon as I was pulling my frozen-pizza lunch from the oven, I started laughing at myself [...]

I’d knock you back with something sweet and strong
Valentine’s Day is my favorite holiday of all time aside from my birthday which the US Government and Hallmark refuse to acknowledge as a national holiday. I refuse to argue about Valentine’s Day anymore. I love it and if you don’t that’s fine. I won’t waste my time trying to defrost your bitter, cold, shriveled [...]

I am not Paul Westerberg (or Bret Michaels)
About once a week, I get an e-mail from someone through the contact link on Paul Westerberg.net addressed to Paul Westerberg. Yes, I get Paul Westerberg’s e-mail and it’s really quite fascinating.
At The Craft performance back in September, Westerberg referred to his fans as a fistful of weirdos. He was right. At least he was [...]

From the file of things that make me laugh
When the David Bowie blog links to the Paul Westerberg blog for linking to a video of Paul Westerberg covering David Bowie. It’s all so very meta.

Laurie Lindeen’s Fakebook on Dime a Doze
Holtz points out that the Laurie Lindeen Fakebook has been posted to Dime a Dozen. I haven’t listened to it since my account expired. But I’ll get my hands on it. Hopefully it’s not edited like The Current’s broadcast.
