Besterberg

Paul Westerberg's post-Replacements career will be the subject of the upcoming compilation Besterberg. Due May 17 via Rhino, the 20-track set covers the artist's three major-label albums for Sire/Reprise and Capitol, his two more recent full-lengths for indie outfit Vagrant and one song from his Grandpaboy alter-ego.

This is good news for any of you who have missed Westerberg's solo career to date; check it out. His album Folker was a borborygmus pick of 2004.
