Replacements Reunite For New Songs – Paul Westerberg, Tommy Stinson and Chris Mars recorded two new songs for a best of comp due June 13. Josh Freese played drums; Mars sang backing vocals.

Billboard claims this is an “exclusive,” although Buddyhead reported it three days before (with a photo!), and we’ve been talking about it on the boards since then.

Also, there’s a Mats box set coming up (eventually), and you can hear Tommy talk about it in a Rhino podcast (mp3).
