Paul Westerberg issues EP tomorrow…
In last minute news for your trek home, Paul Westerberg will be releasing a brand new EP tomorrow. Titled PW & The Ghost Gloves Cat Wing Joy Boys, the six track effort amounts to a lovely 24 minute listen. Judging from the 30-second samples, fans can expect more demo-like tracks, similar to last year’s 49:00, though a bit fuller in nature. “Drop Them Gloves” brings back the band, while “Love on the Wing” puts Westie behind the piano again. In other words… this should be a lovely 24 minute listen.
In all respects, the EP really comes off as a surprise. Ever since he put out last year’s MP3-only 49:00, Westerberg’s been rather reclusive, shelling out one raw song after another. He was on a roll for awhile, but he’s kept quiet since December’s incredibly raw, holiday release, D.G.T., which seemed more or less like an outtakes suite. In retrospect, it’s been a long year for Westerberg/Replacements fans.
But, to quote Paul, “time flies tomorrow.”
You can order the EP via Amazon.
You and me both, Bill. You and me both.

This seriously just made my week. I have such a ridiculous man crush on Paul.
Can’t hardly wait for the CD. Not a fan of mp3’s, I want a CD in my hands with artwork and all.
Paul must tour!
This is always welcome news, can’t wait
