The tune is part of my Bookcase Sessions, wherein I'm posting a song every couple of weeks or so and asking folks to rate / comment / favorite on them. The 12 most popular songs will get the "full album" treatment on my next record, "Keyhole." The title is a riff on the Minutemen's "Political Song For Michael Jackson To Sing." The inspiration (or source to steal from, in the best way) is all Westerberg, though. Other songs in the Bookcase Sessions are here: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=E6A9B4F57D243740 Thanks again! Fun site!

I haven't read many interviews with the guy so if any of this seems way off base, correct me. I'm almost sure Paul writes regularly, if not daily. I'd venture the guess that he only records when he feels absolutely compelled to, which is why he's been recording things at home and releasing them sporadically. He's not signed to a label and therefore doesn't have any obligations to put out full length albums, record in a studio on a schedule, worry about the quality of a take, or tour. The publishing deal he just set up will definitely bring in more cash on a consistent basis. To me, this is a signal that he is content with the way things are right now. A record label couldn't offer him anything that he needs. Barring a natural disaster or an act of God, I think we can expect the internet releases to keep going for a while. Which is just fine with me. All that being said, baseball season starts up soon, and if that doesn't get him back to recording, I don't know what will.
