]]> So Long, Slim. Thanks for the Music https://paulwesterberg.net/2024/12/20/so-long-slim-thanks-for-the-music/ Fri, 20 Dec 2024 21:08:19 +0000 https://paulwesterberg.net/?p=2004 Over at the STrib, Chris Riemenschneider wrote a lovely obituary of Slim Dunlap, who died December 18, 2024.

Slim died 12 years after being left bed-ridden by a stroke. I’m almost two years into surviving my own stroke, so I got some feels I’m not dealing with until after the holidays. Yay, compartmentalization.

In the meantime, if you’re not familiar with Slim’s solo work. Give this one a whirl.

]]> Replacements’ gear for sale to support Slim Dunlap https://paulwesterberg.net/2023/07/11/replacements-gear-for-sale-to-support-slim-dunlap/ Tue, 11 Jul 2023 22:03:08 +0000 https://paulwesterberg.net/?p=1976 As I recently pointed out, the economic toll of recovering from a stroke is no joke.

Today it was announced the Dunlap family is having a moving sale to help pay for Slim’s “ongoing care and medical costs.”

You can get all the details on the estate sale & get a gander at the goods too! The sale starts July 13th.

]]> I Bought a Headache https://paulwesterberg.net/2023/07/04/i-bought-a-headache/ Tue, 04 Jul 2023 23:27:20 +0000 https://paulwesterberg.net/?p=1970 Well, Westernerds, it has come to this. I’ve been running this site for 16 years now and I’m asking you for some help.

This joint is dusty and semi-abandoned, but I know a ghost occasionally haunts these halls. One emailed me last night telling me how sorry he was to read about my stroke, that he donated to my Go Fund Me, and asked me where to start with Paul Westerberg’s solo catalog.

Stereo/Mono and then Suicaine. Obvs.

I haven’t mentioned the stroke here because it didn’t occur to me until that email.

You see, I now have a super shitty thing in common with Slim Dunlap. I had a stroke in March. It sucks.

Zero stars for strokes. Do not recommend. The repercussions have been drastic and the recovery long. You can read all the depressing details on I Will Dare.

The worst part about having a stroke is it’s fucking expensive. I bought a $21,805.41 headache.

Because of the stroke my ability to work is limited, and because I’ve been a freelancer for fourteen years, no work = no money. I only invoiced $850 for all of July!

So, I need some help. If you’re able to throw a few bucks my way, I would be ever so grateful. If all you can afford is good vibes & a hearty “that sucks,” I’ll take it with gratitude!

All right, thank you, everybody feel alright? everybody happy?

Love you in the fall,
Jodi, Queen of the Underground

]]> Is This Thing On? https://paulwesterberg.net/2022/05/28/is-this-thing-on/ Sat, 28 May 2022 17:30:42 +0000 https://paulwesterberg.net/?p=1957 Maybe it’s the horror that is the news cycle. Maybe I’m getting soft in my old age. But when I got an email from a writer asking me if this thing was still on, my already bruised and battered heart felt a little more sad.

So here I am, linking to a piece they wrote about Stereo/Mono.

No worries, Westernerds, I totally encouraged the writer to go listen to Suicaine Gratifaction as soon as possible.

If’n you need a place you wanna plug your Westerberg/Replacements thoughts you are welcome here. I have zero dollars and zero cents to offer anyone, but I’ll happily link to your work or post it here if you want. It’d be nice to read what other people have to say about their music.
