Instead of going the pay-what-you-like route, Paul Westerberg has set a definite price tag for his latest digital-only LP: 49 cents. Released last week, 49:00 ... of Your Time/Life marks his seventh solo album (eighth if you include the soundtrack of that animated bear movie, tenth including ... never mind) since the Replacements dissolved in 1991. Amazon.com was the only retailer willing to go along with the low price, but there's a catch. The entire thing downloads as a single 44-minute track. Those of you who still long for Westerberg's glory days can relish the fact that the final four Replacements albums will be getting the deluxe treatment in September. Just don't expect them to be this cheap.
