Matthew Sweet and Susanna Hoffs Record
Feb 24, 2006
Matthew Sweet and Susanna Hoffs are getting ready to crawl under the covers for our entertainment.Sweet, an indie-pop staple joins Hoff, a former member of The Bangles, to deliver a 15-track dose of ’60s songs redone as indie-rock duets. The album, Under the Covers, is slated to hit stores April 18 from Shout! Factory. The two have a bit of a history together, as each has surfaced singing backup vocals at the other’s concerts through the years, and were tapped to play behind Mike Myers in that corny Ming Tea ’60s act in the first two Austin Powers movies.
Now that Myers is out of the way, the pair is set to play real ’60s music, touching on tracks by The Mamas and the Papas, Neil Young and Crazy Horse and The Who.
Under the Covers’ track listing is:
I See The Rain (The Marmalade)
And Your Bird Can Sing (The Beatles)
It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue (Bob Dylan)
Who Knows Where The Time Goes? (Fairport Convention)
Cinnamon Girl (Neil Young And Crazy Horse)
Alone Again Or (Love)
Warmth Of The Sun (The Beach Boys)
Different Drum (The Stone Poneys)
The Kids Are Alright (The Who)
Sunday Morning (The Velvet Underground)
Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere (Neil Young And Crazy Horse)
Care Of Cell .44 (The Zombies)
Monday Monday (The Mamas And The Papas)
She May Call You Up Tonight (The Left Banke)
Run To Me (The Bee Gees)"duane " wrote:"SG " wrote:Golden Smog got a new album out July 18th

Paul WesterbergMarch 29, 2006, 4:40 PM ET
Jonathan Cohen, N.Y.
As tipped yesterday (March 28) on Billboard’s Jaded Insider blog, Replacements members Paul Westerberg, Tommy Stinson and Chris Mars have reunited to record two new songs for an upcoming retrospective, "Don’t You Know Who I Think I Was?: The Best of the Replacements." Due June 13 via Rhino, the set will feature "Message to the Boys" and "Pool & Dive," the band’s first new recordings in 16 years.Session drummer Josh Freese was behind the kit for the new recordings, while Mars, who in recent years has foregone music for an art career, contributed backing vocals. The songs were written by Westerberg and were recorded at producer Ed Ackerson’s Flowers studio in Minneapolis. At deadline, it is unclear if any further activity is brewing within the Replacements’ camp.
Westerberg told Billboard.com in 2005 that he still reflects fondly on the Replacements’ early days, especially "when we were riding in the van and we ripped the seats out and would just listen to tapes and listen to Black Flag. [We would] sort of slam dance and stuff around in the back of the van and be drinking hard liquor at noon and it was just, you know, carefree times. We didn’t give a damn."
Westerberg also said he tried to reunite the Replacements for an October 2004 benefit concert for Soul Asylum’s Karl Mueller, who later died of cancer. "I didn’t call the guys myself," he admitted. "One of our old roadie pals came over who owns a bar now and runs a club and was asking if I would do a benefit for Karl and I said, ‘See if the boys want to play.’ And he kind of went around and got various answers and it didn’t come back real strong like, ‘Hey let’s do it.’ And I felt like that was the opportunity, that was the chance and we just missed it.
"Now I say, there’s probably no chance we’ll get back together again," he said, without pinpointing which of his former colleagues were not interested. "It bothered me for like an afternoon," he laughed. "But, it did bother me for that long because I was secretly excited and some of them weren’t."
Meanwhile, sources say the long-awaited Replacements boxed set is still in the planning stages and will not be out until 2007 at the earliest. Rhino is also working on expanded editions of the Replacements’ albums, but no release date has yet been announced for those packages either.
Here is the track list for “Don’t You Know Who I Think I Was?â€
