dondoboy Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Its too bad most people won't have access to this because its great. Anyone else listen to it? What did you think? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GtrPlyr Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 I got it when it came out, and it's still one of my favorites of the year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brianjeremy Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 It's really great. I love it to death. I hope it gets a proper release. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kathyp Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 I haven't listened to it since it was released (and pulled shortly after). To be honest, the novelty of format wore off quickly, but I don't have the heart to chop it up into proper tracks. Some of his best songwriting since Stereo, though.

Moss Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Got it when it came out. The really weird thing is the version I have is actuall 5 minutes and 5 seconds short of 49:00. Turns out you can download the additional 5 minutes at the following link. By the time I tried it was gone although the link still works. Not sure what the hell that is all about. I do love my 44 minutes though! http://studio.tunecore.com/store/product/47 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
binky Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 I posted links to both 49:00 and 5:05 on my blog. Scroll down to the August 23, 2008 posting. Hope it still works!!

HungryHippo Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 why was this pulled? I've listened to 49:00 but didn't care much for it. maybe it'll take a few listens to like. then again, I've never heard a Paul Westerberg song in my life, to my knowledge, since before listening to 49:00.

I feel both sorry and envious. Sorry you have missed out so far but there is a great body of work for you to explore! Not sure why the 5:05 is no longer available.

dondoboy Posted December 28, 2008 Author Share Posted December 28, 2008 what's the best record for a Westerberg newb to check out?Well, if its Westerberg solo I would get "14 Songs". Its a good intro. If we're talking about his best stuff, go out and buy The Replacements "Let It Be", "Tim", and "Hootenanny". You should get it all. Blow a whole paycheck, sell your car, sell your pants, give away your kid brother. Its worth it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

uncool2pillow Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Soundtrack - Open SeasonCan't be underrated. Some GREAT songs for a "kids" album. I may be in the minority, but I love his contributions to the Singles soundtrack. Esp. Waiting for Somebody. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I may be in the minority, but I love his contributions to the Singles soundtrack. Esp. Waiting for Somebody. I strongly prefer his offerings on Open Season. My kids do like it but I don't necessarily consider them 'kids songs'. Very good stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I may be in the minority, but I love his contributions to the Singles soundtrack. Esp. Waiting for Somebody. I love 'em too. The difference for me is Open Season is essentiallya Westerberg album while Singles is two songs, albeit two great songs, but two nonetheless. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm really hard pressed to think of any bad stuff. Of course I'm blinded by my love for his stuff... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jahilia Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 I absolutely LOVE this album. I just listened to it again while cleaning the house and I can't find a single flaw. Unfortunately, I had bought it just before my computer was obliterated by a tree so now I only have it on my ipod. Stereo/Mono has long been my favorite, but 49:00 is definitely gaining ground...my pick for best album of 2008 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moss Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 I absolutely LOVE this album. I just listened to it again while cleaning the house and I can't find a single flaw. Unfortunately, I had bought it just before my computer was obliterated by a tree so now I only have it on my ipod. Stereo/Mono has long been my favorite, but 49:00 is definitely gaining ground...my pick for best album of 2008 It does grow on you. I was pretty surprised the first time I heard the Beatles/Alice Cooper/Partridge Family/Elton John/Steppenwolf...etc...medley at the end but he did do "I think I love you" when I saw him in Denver a few years ago.
