The Sire reissues are coming out on Tuesday, for a refresher on the bonus tracks included on each, here's the original post on the track lists.
Today's Newsday ran a brief interview with Paul and a review of the reissues. Paul, showing infinite patience for answering the same question in every interview (not faulting the interviewer, because it's what we want to know but it must get tedious to be on the recieving end of it), answered the inevitable "Mats reunion?" question with:
"I think we still exist in some sort of fragmented form," Westerberg says. "It's just a question of whether he and I can ever get together again ... that's how close we are, I can't even mention his -- name."
Typical Westerberg. He's talking about his longtime bassist and foil, Tommy Stinson. "One day Tommy wants to sue me, the next he wants to jam. I think he's in the jamming mood this week, but by the time he gets here we might just meet and fight."

Hey Paul, I must come right out and admit I'm late to the game that is...Paul Westerberg. For that, I am sorry. I give thanks to Mr. Tommy Womack for turning me on to you some years ago. Anyway, I never read the fanzines, or critical reviews. I like what I like, and that's it. I don't follow the "gossip" of who said what behind the musical scenes. Having said that, the work that is called "Come Feel Me Tremble"...I like. Quite a bit. And I've played it out the ass, and will continue to do so. For me, whatever went on to make that album, congealed oh so nicely in the tunes. Thanks for doing what you do. I don't know HOW you do it, but when it comes together, holy shit, it comes together. -Mr. B.
