Yeah, there's been some remixing and remastering done, for sure. It was one of the first things I noticed, and it actually sounds like most of the songs have been tweaked a little, which is great. You'll notice the vocals are a lot higher in the mix on 'Stain Yer Blood', for just one quick example...

i think c'mon, c'mon, c'mon might have to become my new theme song. I've been singing this out loud all day at work today. It's criminally catchy. |

How many of these songs were not released on official studio albums?
Dyslexic Heart
All that I had
A Star is Bored
Stain Yer Blood
Men Without Ties
Nowhere Man
C'Mon C'Mon C'Mon
Alternate Once Around the Weekend
Seein' Her
Then there are the songs that didnt even make it
33rd of July
Waiting for Somebody
Everything goes Wrong
Sunshine
And let us not forget the Replacements
Portland
We know the Night
Birthday Gal
Nowhere is my Home
If only you were Lonely
Satellite (Tommy, I know)
Honestly, I don't think there's ever been an artist as great as Westerberg, in any medium, who's been such a terrible editor and judge of his own work. What makes him hear a great song and go, no, leave that one off and give it to the sitcom album?

What makes him hear a great song and go, no, leave that one off and give it to the sitcom album? It is kind of amazing. It's like when he starts thinking about a PW album he grows self-conscious; and when someone invites him to write a one-off he gets wild and lethal. Springsteen also wrote a lot of fantastic b-sides that never made it on albums though, so maybe he's not alone. Or maybe these guys figure they'll hold some chestnuts back so they can have a retirement fund. |

Editing your own stuff is hard. Paul may not be an ace, but I'm not sure he's subpar. Then again, he had As Far As I Know in the can for Stereo/Mono and sat on it.

Anybody else think Paul would do a great job covering Aerosmith?
He sounds a lot like S. Tyler on C'mon, C'mon, C'mon.
