After ending the last mailing with a personal note about myself, the mailings to the Skyway address have gotten markedly more personal in nature.

(i enjoy it more than "All Shook Down." which i considered paul's first solo album.) the more i listened to it, i appreciated how paul was willing to let the album go all over the place and not confined to a certain mood or tone. one of the main reasons i am addicted to it is that, i can relate almost all of the scattered emotions i had upon returning from europe to a part of the album. not that i think my life is all that similar to paul's, but i think "14 Songs," has a large enough emotional span to fit about anything into. upon hearing 'things' i first understood how i felt about a friend whom i had been pre-occupied thinking about for several weeks. the lyrics caught my attention, but the tone of voice is what is perfect. 'somthing is me' summed up my feelings toward another friend for me. i could relate my longings for quiet Missouri after too much parisromelondonzurichetc. easily to 'a few minutes of silence.' i'm sure the majority of what i got out of the album, paul didn't intend -- but, i don't really care. always things. _other side notes_ i think bash and pop is also brilliant. i'm glad the replacements broke up. matt: thanks for all the shit you do to keep this list running. oh. what was the debate you wanted to start in the last mailing? Slim or Bob? I'll go for Slim, in spite of the empathy demanding Spin article on Bob. mike. somewhere beneath the water in northern missouri. /\\-==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==-\\/ Date: Wed, 14 Jul 93 17:08:53 CDT From: Asif Siddiqi Subject: Westerberg single For those of you who haven't picked up the single yet, I just wanted to let you know of the songs on the CD single of World Class Fad. There are a total of 4 songs on it: World Class Fad, Seein' Her, Men Without Ties, Down Love. Seein' Her is pretty much power pop stuff, kind of (in my opinion) like early Cheap Trick or something like that, while Men Without Ties is acoustic and underproduced (with the same feel of Black Eyed Susan, production wise). Although I like Black Eyed Susan, I don't really like Men Without Ties that much. But maybe with repeated listenings, I'll be hooked...who knows. Does anybody know when Westerberg is showing up in Texas?

In a press review of the gig he apologized for any loseness which may have been apparent. Looseness my ass, this was rock and roll at it's greatest. We witnessed sheer spirit and conviction and afterwards were as drained as he looked. It was an intimate gig, the venue well under half full, but the man had us eating out of his hand, so brillantly can he work a crowd. After his solo version of Waitress in the Sky I heard myself screaming and realized others around me were spontaneously releasing guttural noises. He introduced Merry Go Round as "a song from OUR last record", they also played: Can't Hardly Wait, I'll Be You, 'Achin to Be, Left of the Dial, Here Comes a Regular (best drinking song ever written?). Covers were: Daydream Believer, Another Girl Another Planet (the only ones). Paul does his own thing and doesn't seem influenced by current musical trends, I mean who would place 14 Songs as a 1993 album. Many of the songs on this new slice of Westerburg pie bear his stamp of articulate melancholy - the more boisterous tunes, Knockin' On Mine, World Class Fad, Mannequin Shop, Dice Behind Your Shades. The later on the night sounded like it could have come from one of the Replacements more recent albums. They also did a new song, played live for the first time, I cannot remember the lyrics unfortunately, but it was one of the more instant songs. Any Replacements fan will want to hear "Horseofadifferentcolour" (note non-american spelling of color) the debut album from The Revenants, a Dublin band fronted by Stephen Ryan the fromer lead singer with The Stars Of Heaven. The band dedicates the album of brillant originals to Paul Westerberg. The previous night The Revenants performes a brillant cover of Can't Hardly Wait. So end an audience with Westerberg, a life affirming experience.

What's the word? What was the set list? How was the band? How was the crowd? Did he know all the words? and most important of all.... CAN YOU GET A TAPE OF THE SHOW? _____________________ Ric Dube dube@u.washington.edu ** Okay Ric, I'll tell you what happened. And it's worth getting excited about, that's fer sure. I got off work at 3 p.m., day of the show (Monday, July 12th). I went right from work to the Ranch Bowl: a club in a bowling alley. No shit. (The Ranch Bowl is a huge entertainment complex that has three bars, a bowling alley, a video game room, and a huge five net sand volleyball pit.) Paul wasn't there. That's okay...I was in my waiter clothes and I smelled like spaghetti marinara. If I was going to meet Paul, I didn't want to do it in a tie with mornay sauce on my pants. Ran home. Grabbed a shower and my book-edition of "14 Songs". Grabbed an artichoke heart-topped pizza at the local Zio's. [yum.] Came back at 5:30. The sound check had already started and I was hearing "Dice Behind Your Shades". Gathered outside the club door were about five other Mats fan(atics), all but one had a "14 Songs" book. There was this one woman, in her late 20's, blond hair to her shoulders...came from Arizona to see the show. She was going to try and see the next ten shows he did. She works as a supervisor or something for the reservations of American Airlines, so she gets a big discount on air fares. She told me that they printed up only 2,500 of the book editions. I don't remember her name. If you talk to someone before the show (probably up close to the stage) and she fits the description, ask her if she works for American Airlines. Tell her Matt from Omaha says hi. If we can do this enough times, we'll really freak her out. (Besides, she's really nice and she probably won't know anybody else in town so she won't have anybody to talk to at all.) After the sound check, we tried to figure out amongst a group if we'd get our butts' kicked if we walked in there. After a brave soul took the plunge across the Ranch Bowl floor and was unaccosted by bouncers, we all dove in. I got his autograph on my "14 Songs" book. Paul said that it was supposed to be a promotional-thing only and it wasn't meant for commercial release. I didn't expect to meet him...I didn't plan ahead what to ask him or what to say. So I muttered something about a computer fan club mailing list thing. He cocked his head and seemed alot more interested than I ever thought he would. I said, "Well, I can send you some stuff that people have written..." and he said "Yeah!" and told me to send it to Sire records with his name as a C/O and it'd get to him. I guess this brings us to: what do we want to send him? Just excerpts from the "best of" file? I figure an explanation about what all this is would be a good cover letter...he probably has no idea what the hell the internet is. (I wouldn't really bother going into much technical detail about it...just explain that it connects people from all over the world.) So any ideas about this matter or anything that you want to contribute and mark as being included in the "Pile to Paul" would be greatly appreciated. I went home after Paul retreated into his trailer. I went home and got my ticket and returned to the Ranch Bowl at about 7 p.m. I now knew what his band looked like and got a chance to talk to the bass player. (See, I play bass, so I was interested to see what the bass player had to say. A very selfish thing.) A very cool (cool as in the classic definition of cool), approachable guy from Boston. I asked him what the auditions were like, what Paul was like, what songs he liked, etc. He asked me my name and later in the night remembered it, so I was impressed. (Either that or he's had one of those correspondence courses.) If you see him (he looks like Bruce Springsteen with bigger sideburns), tell him Matt from Omaha says hi. Freak him out too. Besides, he's a great bass player and has a more energetic stage presence than most. The place was packed. I don't know what the capacity of the Ranch Bowl is, but it sure wasn't comfortable if you're claustrophobic. School of Fish opened and were enjoyable by the end of their guitar-oriented set. But when Paul took the stage, the place went NUTS. I was right against the stage and I wasn't prepared for the jolt that my ribs took before the first note was even played on the opening night of Westerberg's American tour. The first song was "Waiting For Somebody". The whole place was singing along. The crowd was so active that I propped against the people behind me and the stage...and my feet were about two inches off the floor. (You know how it is.) I sure would like to find that idiot who put his Doc Marten to the side of my head, though. Nobody wearing combat boots or over 140 pounds should be doing that stuff. My neck was still recovering from the Dinosaur Jr. portion of Lollapalooza. I think I need a chiropractor now. Paul was as sober as he ever gets. You could understand what he was singing...clearly. He spoke shortly (two-three sentences) between songs. Gone was the sarcasm of the later "All Shook Down" shows. He seemed happy...happy in a Paul sorta way. Not Trip Shakespeare happy. You know. The band was tight but rockin'. Not like a jazz band or Rush or something tight, but it was as tight as the Replacements imagined. (I imagine that Bash and Pop is a little more sloppy than this well-trained crew.) The songs sounded very, very close to the album versions...it wasn't a Replacements Live Show. It didn't feel drunk. It didn't feel crazy. It just rocked. It's definately a different creature than the Replacements shows. Maybe some of you more experienced 'Mats concert vets can put this into better words. Here's a rough set list. The first two songs and the encore are in the correct order, but the stuff in the middle is anybody's guess. And I listened to Westerberg's album right before the show, so I'm a little fuzzy as to what was played that night from the album. (The * means that I'm EFINATE that this song from 14 Songs was played.) So excuse my possible inaccuracies in this area...blame it on the excitement (and dehydration.) Waiting for Somebody Dice Behind your Shades (*) Waitress in the Sky Skyway Achin' to Be World Class Fad Merry Go Round Satillite (just kidding) Talent Show Knockin' On Mine (*) First Glimmer (*) A Few Minutes of Silence Things (*) Something is Me Mannequin Shop Someone I Once Knew (*) Another Girl, Another Planet If Only You Were Lonely Dyslexic Heart Daydream Believer I Can't Hardly Wait I'll Be You Encore: Here Comes a Regular Down Love (*) Left of the Dial Everything, like I said before, was very faithful to the album versions, except there wasn't a piano or saxaphone on the stage. His new band has an energetic stage presence...and dare I say it...live-wise, sound closer to the album versions than the Replacements themselves. The only exception in my book would be the version of "Here Comes a Regular". I saw this performed once, on the last Replacements tour. Then it really had that "lonely" feel...that alcohol-tinged, used-to-live-at-home-now-I-live-at- the-house feel. But I didn't feel that came across as well in the solo situation. You guys tell me... After the show, I hung out because I just didn't feel like going home. Talked to some people that I didn't know. A friend of mine from high school got a kiss from Paul. She confessed yesterday that she couldn't sleep that night. (She really flipped out.) Doesn't beat a friend of mine who jumped on the stage during "Another Girl" and kissed him on the cheek and did a full flip off the stage. Paul didn't blink. Kinda had that post-concert depression after the show. Really wish I could've seen it again. Hopefully he'll swing around again or Bash and Pop will reschedule in Omaha. I've got the Soul Asylum show next week, but I really hate the Spin Doctors now. (Yeah, sure, they're OKAY, but to think that Soul Asylum could be playing a full set if it weren't for them...) That's my Paul Westerberg concert experience. Yeah, he knew the words... more than I ever thought he did. (He said in an interview...I think it was Rolling Stone...that he recently had picked up listening to Replacements records. He didn't even mess up Skyway. I think he missed a phrase in Here Comes a Regular and that was almost about it.) And can I get a tape of the show? I'll try. There's a guy who used to be able to bootleg almost every show in Omaha, but I didn't see him there and I think he moved to Wisconsin. But I'll try and get ahold of him. Go see the damn show. Whether you love "14 Songs", hate "14 Songs", love Paul, want him dead...whatever...you should go see this show. If nothing else, to hear "Left of the Dial". /\\-==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==-\\/ Date: 14 Jul 1993 10:07:30 U From: "Teddie James" Subject: Concert dates/14 Songs Concert dates/14 Songs Paul Westerberg will be at Liberty Lunch in Austin, Texas, on Wednesday July 28. Tickets are $14. School of Fish are opening. Bash & Pop will be at Liberty Lunch in Austin on Saturday July 31. What a week! If anyone will be in town, give me a buzz. About 14 Songs: It's a fine album. The songwriting is nothing less than I expected. No, it's not Tim or Let It Be, and it's wrong to expect more albums like that. It's also not a good idea to compare it to any Mats material. After all, Paul is not trying to be the Mats, he's trying to be himself. It was easy to see which direction he was going over the last few years. Why would he go back to the style he was using 8 or 10 years ago? It's time to move on. Eight Tim's or Let It Be's would be boring. Growth is essential. To me, 14 Songs is not the kind of album that really stands out the first time I hear it. Instead, it's the kind of thing that gets better with age. The more I listen to it, the better it gets. It'll be a really memorable album. Remember, listen to it for its own sake.

On Friday night he will be at the Bite Of Seattle playing on the KXRX stage at about 8:00. The cost to get in is three dollars. Avid 'mats fans will recall that the band's last show was at the Bite Of Chicago in 1991. On Saturday night he is playing at RockCandy. Naturally, I will be at both shows. I am 15 songs into transcribing all of the lyrics to Sorry Ma, Forgot To Take Out the Trash. This is work, kids. Next on my agenda -- Stink! As soon as I am done with Sorry Ma, I will mail the file to Matthew. > * and coming soon, a list of available audio/video copies of > Replacements shows, interviews, etc. (see paragraph below) My full list and trading policy is available by emailing me.

Matt, if you want to take me up on this offer, send me a copy of the survey so that I can try and proactively troubleshoot it. People are being predictably rough on 14 Songs. I'm awfully surprised that people are surprised at what it's like. I think comparisons to Don't Tell A Soul are ungrounded, except in the imaginations of the those cooking up such farce. Listen to the lyrics, for heaven's sake. I bought the deluxe edition of 14 Songs and wasn't really disappointed. Yes, the price was hyperinflated, but after waiting three years for the damn thing I was happy to have a nice copy of it at any price. My biggest criticism is that the pouch that holds the cd within the book is the most poorly designed thing I've ever seen. You can't get the damn disc out without coming close to damaging it.

Howdy Matt. I just read the latest Skyway thing and I am so honored that I inspired you to write all about yourself. You have inspired to me to contribute this little tale-- I saw Bash & Pop at the 7th Street Entry in Minneapolis last week, July 5, and what an experience. My adventure began when my friend Jen and I were waiting in the bathroom line and some sleaze behind us asked if we'd ever seen Bash & Pop live before. "No," we answered politely. "You'll really like them," he said. "I've seen them lots of times. You know, I'm friends with Steve and Tommy," he bragged oh-so-studlike. We just smiled and nodded and ran away. Later, while sitting next to the door to be as far from the hideous opening group as we could, Jen (a new fan) leaned over and said, "Look, there's Rod Stewart's younger brother." I of course knew immediately that it was Tommy, and I froze and couldn't even think straight, couldn't "accidentally" trip him as he walked right by us. I am a dork. The show definitely made me feel better. They sounded great, even with two new members. Janis, the new bassist, was truly adorable in her hiking boots and little girlie dress. And Tommy was cute as ever. I've never seen another man who can get away with wearing black leggings. Jen and I swooned repeatedly. Did I mention that they sounded great too? Tommy leads his band just like Paul used to--stopping and starting songs over a zillion times, asking for requests and then ignoring them, making fun of the crowd, and acting silly just because he can. Oh the nostalgia. We hung around the Entry after the show, hoping to remedy my dorkiness, but to no avail. The lights came up, and we realized we were probably the only people who weren't relatives or girlfriends of the band. Traumatized, we left, but we not before we saw good old Bob Stinson knocking back a few with some guys who looked at least 10-15 years younger than him. I wanted to ask if he got paid very much for that Spin story but thought it would be in poor taste. I can't believe that Paul is starting his tour in Omaha!!?! What the hell is up with that? If anyone knows the rest of the schedule, please please let me know, particularly Minneapolis dates. Thanks! --Shannon drurys@carleton.edu [I guess if you call Sire records, they will give you entire tour intinerary over the phone. (Does Paul still live in the Twin Cities?

A band called the cadillac tramps opened and simply tore up the place. Having seen B&P once before in Minneapolis at that pre-tour gig that Bob played at, I was a little worried that Bash and Pop might be upstaged by the opening band. (Not that Bash and Pop wasn't good that night; the cadillac tramps were just rockin' out more than I thought possible.) I needn't have worried. They started out with that killer opener of theirs, Never Aim to Please and then took it into their version of Satellite, which, IMHO, kicks ass over the 'mats' version. They played all the covers mentioned, as they had in Mlps, but added another by some bay area band called jj. nude and the something boys or something like that. Obviously, I don't remember, but later I heard that the dude had just died and Tommy went to some tribute to him and like the song so added it to the set list for the tour. But I digress. The main point that I wanted to make is that, having seen both the old lineup and the new one, have to say that the new one is MUCH better. The new guitar player complimented Tommy well and was a lot more aggressive than Steve Brantseg, who I guess Tommy booted, along with Kevin Foley. I guess it's pretty clear that Bash and Pop is pretty much a front for a Tommy Stinson solo album. In addition to the fact that Tommy liquidated half the band before they even finished a tour, coupled with the rumour that Tommy played all the instruments (except for drums) on the first single, "Loose Ends", before the band was even formed, makes me think so. Tommy's so damn slick on stage. Some dude in the audience (I'm embarassed to say that he was one of the large group of my friends at the show) was getting belligerent with Tommy, shouting at him to play old 'Mats songs. Other people had done so, but tommy made it clear that Satellite was the only Replacements-era song he would do. Finally, after my friend shouted out "Color me Impressed", tommy snapped back "it's obvious that I can't impress you, pal." cool. So, what I'm really trying to say is: Bash and Pop rocks live and that they are worth driving long distances to see. -Seth Curley CURLEYS@carleton.edu /\\-==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==-\\/ [Normally there's no reason to put "subscribe me to your list, you bastard!" letters out on the net, but this one has a great piece of news from Tommy himself and a concert date request...] From: bobes@expert.cc.purdue.edu (Roy Beaumont) Subject: Please sign me up!!!

After two years, I had had it with what I was doing. Marywood was (is) a Catholic school, and I wasn't Catholic. I was the only girl walking around campus in combat boots and hair like Robert Smith of The Cure. The nuns would stop me on a regular basis and ask me why did I have to look the way I looked -- to which I would reply, "You don't hear me complaining about *you*, do you?" I kept getting kicked off the air for doing things like playing Depeche Mode's "Blasphemous Rumours" immediately after being told not to by The Powers That Be (or who, at least, thought they were ;-). The area was a little too mentally cramped for my liking, so I packed up and headed to Boston, where I spent the next nine months of life in a sort of "punk underground." I got a mohawk, got stomped on at punk shows, and basically saw enough to make me see that I wanted to go back to school. I applied to Penn State (for reasons I'm still not sure of) as a telecommunications major, was accepted, and immediately changed my major to film. After two years in the film school, I decided I'd had enough (I get bored *so* easily sometimes ;-), changed my major to writing for the arts, and graduated in 1989. Before graduating, I won an award for one of my screenplays (a story that *no one* in my class thought I could write -- which is why I wrote it ;-). After graduating, I found out that one of my plays was being produced at the university (another story my classmates felt threatened by ;-). Now, four years later -- after a brief stint as an editor at the magazine "Highlights for Children" -- I'm the publications editor at Penn State's Department of Publications. We basically do all of the high-image pieces for the school -- admission recruitment pieces, fund-raising pieces, departmental catalogs. I'm having a tough time, really -- in a sort of tug-of-war with myself. There's still that part of me that wants another mohawk, but there's another side of me that has to pay the bills and be (gulp) responsible. Some things never die. Well, I've taken up a hell of a lot of space here, and I haven't even answered all of your questions. I guess I'll let you digest this for now, and send you something else a little later. --Heather "Sittin' in a pew ...

Well, it's only Friday afternoon, and Paul doesn't take the stage for like nine more hours, but I was already over at the amphitheater to see the goings on. Just to make it clear what's going on, this weekend is the big Bite Of Seattle celebration at the City Center (where the Space Needle is). And it's pretty much right in front of the Space Needle where the stage is that has some of the entertainment at the festival. Paul is the headliner there tonight, so essentially, you get to see Paul for a mere three bucks today if you're willing to brave some serious crowds. I wanted to see if I could a video camera in there -- I borrowed a bad-ass TV professional Super VHS machine with zoom stereo microphone. A dream yes, but big as a fucking Winnebago! Not exactly concealable. I spoke with Westerberg's road manager while the stage was being set up and non-chalantly asked if cameras would be allowed during the show. He answered with a pretty defiant no. I don't think I should chance it, but I promise to think about it. Actually, no matter what happens, I will bring my audio recorder. I may be able to get tapes of both of Paul's shows that I'm seeing this weekend, so those will be added to my list pretty soon. If you haven't traded with me before, write for my list. Gotta go, see y'all later -- I'll keep you posted. _____________________ Ric Dube dube@u.washington.edu /\\-==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==-\\/ Final note: A preliminary copy of this issue was posted to alt.music.alternative on the Usenet to advertise the Skyway and to find some of those 'Mats fans that we still hadn't reached.
