Re: Paul Westerberg charges 49 cents for his new album
It's like former Replacements frontman Paul Westerberg is living a century ago. First of all, he doesn't have a computer. And secondly, he's selling his new album for just 49 cents (about 25p) - less than the price of a morning roll, less than a single song at the iTunes music store, and about the same price as a CD would have cost in 1900, if CDs had been invented then.
49:00 has no track list, lyrics or song titles, and some of the songs are only a few seconds long, smudged together or get abruptly cut off. "It's almost like you're scanning a radio dial," Westerberg manager Darren Hill explained to Billboard. "You're getting a glimpse inside Paul's head here."
The album is currently sat No. 1 on Amazons Download chart (never thought I'd see the day)
Edit: Album temporarily unavailable for download.
Re: Paul Westerberg charges 49 cents for his new album
Bought it and love it 
A slice of raw genious, obviously recorded in Pauls basement on a budget of about $50. Some awesome rockers thrown in there which have thrown GNR/Izzy etc off my playlist for the next few weeks ~ back to religiously drowning in Mats and Westerberg awesomeness.
Would love to hear some of you guys opinions on this album so fork out the $0.49 and give it a listen. If you don't have 50¢/25p drop me a PM and I'll paypal it over

Wow. Didn't expect a move like this. I like how some artists realize its the 21st century and you have to embrace the internet and the Borg collective of downloaders. You make most of your money touring now.
Kudos to Paul.
Hasn't toured since he injured his hand scraping wax from a candle with a screwdriver 
Re: Paul Westerberg charges 49 cents for his new album
Since this went over so well with everyone here thought Id post an update 
The album is no longer available to buy, presumably Yoko had it pulled due to Westerberg including 4 seconds of a Beatles cover without permission.
Those of you who did download it may be interested in hearing the "missing" 5:05 from the original download. For sale at $0.99, or $5.05 if you're feeling generous
