Aside from a few promotional interviews for the Replacements reissues a couple of months ago, Paul Westerberg has been a bit of a recluse the past couple of years. After helming the soundtrack duties for kid-flick Open Season back in '06, the typically prolific Westerberg has been in the midst of a prolonged dryspell -- or so we thought. Coming seemingly out of nowhere, the singer-songwriter has just released a new "demo" album randomly titled 49:00 of Your Time/Life. The album, which boasts a helping of new material mixed in with some older songs ("Out Of My System," "Everyone's Stupid") is as brash as Westerberg has been since his early 80's Replacements days. Here's the kicker: the album consists of one 44-minute track that is currently available for download via Amazon. The asking price? A bank-breaking 49 cents. Do yourself a favor and swoop this one up. The best news -- Westerberg is supposedly writing a ton of new material. So this may just be the tip of the iceberg!
