Paul Westerberg on Late Late Show Tonight!

Paul Westerberg (my hero) and band will appear tonight on CBS' Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. He will be playing "As Far As I Know." According to Paul's website, the show was taped last week, and the audience gave the band a standing ovation.

In other Westerberg/Replacements news...the band's first four albums (originally released by Twin/Tone Records) will be re-issued this year with bonus tracks by Rykodisc. The band's last four albums (originally released by Sire/Reprise) will be re-issued by Rhino. Shout! Factory will be releasing an anthology of Paul's solo material sometime this year. Paul's collaboration with former bandmate Tommy Stinson (now of Guns N Roses) will be featured on the soundtrack to the next Cameron Crowe movie. A boxed set featuring songs from the entire Replacements catalog is set to be released in 2006.
