We brought you the news a few weeks ago that Deranged Records would be releasing a compilation from Marvelous Darlings , the project of Fucked Up 's Ben Cook. This time around we have a brand new track that'll be featured on the album, and it's precisely what you've been promised. Everything you ever loved about pogoing around your room, with hints of Westerberg-esque delivery on the vocals pushing you to sing along. Sometimes nostalgic throwback tracks just kick you in the teeth in the most enjoyable way, [...]
Star Tribune (Minneapolis) (MCT) -- MINNEAPOLIS -Music fans who catch the new video for Glen Campbell's "Ghost on the Canvas" might really think they're seeing a ghost. "Let's take hold on the threshold of eternity," the country-pop veteran sings in the clip, which features a surprise appearance by Minneapolis music legend Paul Westerberg. The cameo caps off what seems like an eternity, as fans waited for Westerberg to come out of hiding. It made sense, since he wrote "Ghost," the...
![[The Past Presents] Paul Westerberg – "14 Songs"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3895210_lg.jpg)
The Past Presents revisits revered albums from the past 20-25 years to ask the question, "Is this album still a classic, or has it lost its edge over the years?". Was it a great record for that particular time and place, or is it something we'll be passing on to our kids? It also looks at the "lost classics" – countless albums that should have earned more attention but for one reason or another fell through the cracks. I've always thought of Paul Westerberg as one of those artists who worked really hard to get [...]
After a diagnosis with Alzheimer's in June 2011, Glen Campbell agreed to record one final album and perform one final tour. His story and the lyrics throughout Ghost On The Canvas have touched me deeply, as I lost my Gramps to Alzheimer's 5 years ago on Nov. 12. There's nothing I can say better than the legend himself, so in Glen's words... Ghost On The Canvas is the last studio record of new songs that I ever plan to make. I've been saying it to my friends and family, [...]
Country music legend Glen Campbell has released a new video for the track "Ghost On the Canvas", which is the title cut from his latest album. What makes this noteworthy? Well, an integral element of the video is the appearance of the song's writer, my hero and yours, Paul Westerberg . Check him out throughout: Campbell covered another Westerberg song, The Replacements' "Sadly Beautiful", on his last record.
When Tommy Stinson joined Guns N' Roses way back in 1998, there were many people who didn't have a clue who he was. Stinson's career path just hadn't taken the route that one would think might ...

Glen Campbell just released a new video, and while that alone is reason to watch, there's a bonus:
Replacements fans will recognize a few familiar qualities in Glen Campbell's new video for "Ghost on the Canvas," the title track from his farewell album. Not only was the song written by Paul Wester

From the bootleg vault: a trio of cool post-Mats Westerberg tracks, recorded live at West Hollywood's Troubadour club back in '96. A show that was recorded for a radio broadcast, hence the exceptional audio quality. Paul's performance ain't half bad, either.

Let us beat past the arduous task of re-explaining everything we've mouthed on at great length about here , here , and here . With numerous members of our staff pushing 30, it's no surprise that we have such a loyal early-902s fan base amongst us. We were likely born in a cloud of Aqua Net, only to be raised by ravaging alt-rock wolfpacks, and we're goddamned proud of it! For those 702s alumni out there who could stage dive at Alice Cooper with the best of 'em... stop pickin' on me or I'll use my Wayne [...]
Sound of the City interviews Paul Westerberg about the songs he wrote on Glen Campbell's new album . ( via ) Both your contributions to his album, "Ghost On The Canvas" and "Any Trouble," sound like they were written just for Glen. Especially after you heard the news about him having Alzheimer's. They both seem to be about death and where you might go afterwards. Was that deliberate? No, not at all. One song is about two years old. The other is from the late '90s. Glen did [...]
It's not often that Paul Westerberg talks to the press these days -- a fact that Village Voice contributor Peter Gerstenzang brags about in the intro to his new Q&A -- so it's interesting that th
The Replacements were one of the best bands that never got big: Midwestern goofs teetering on the wrong side of alcoholism, plucking the best bits of their boozy catharsis from the other classic down-to-earth rock groups like the Faces, Big Star, Tom Petty and beyond. They never quite struck gold in the '80s despite signing to a major label around the time it was getting popular to do so, instead watching their peers get much more famous on a national and historical perspective. But they've become a powerful influence on modern rock acts like Titus Andronicus and Wilco, and August [...]
"I've tried and I have failed lord," 75-year-old Glen Campbell sings on A Better Place from the country legend's final album (out Tuesday). The opening track on Ghost on the Canvas sets the tone for Campbell's swan song. "Some days I'm so confused lord/ my past gets in my way," Campbell sings, a reference to his recently diagnosed Alzheimer's disease. On that short, opening song, the voice is so mournful - so pained - that it echoes Johnny Cash performing Trent Reznor's [...]
Despite his recent diagnosis of Alzheimer's, Campbell's final studio album is not one of wallowing, mournful resignation.
If you're a Replacements fan, by now you've grown tired waiting by that archaic answering machine for Minneapolis' own recluse Mr. Paul Westerberg to call. But, today's your lucky day. In a recent, exclusive interview with Rolling Stone , Westerberg discussed the idea of a Replacements reunion, his thoughts on writing new music, and an alleged box set in the works. "I don't know, man," Westerberg tells Rolling Stone . "You catch me on one day and I think, 'Oh hell, why not?' Tommy [Stinson] has never stopped. He's a performer. I'm more of [...]
