Keep coming back to this one... reminds me of a better time that never existed.

49:00 is a set of home studio recordings in ilk of his Stereo/Mono and Come Feel Me Tremble albums. And as such it's rough around the edges. Which with Paul Westerberg is a very very good thing. He really is in his element and therefore, at his very very best

The brilliance of the songwriting filtered thru the grungy kaleidoscopic offhanded approach is mesmerizing. Like trying to tune into a fucking wonderful far away radio station that you have no wonder where it is...

Westerberg's very own take on GBV Bee Thousand. A low-fi fantastic. I would pay $49 for the vinyl release.

This is a lo fi master piece. We need better than mp3! They need to reissue this on vinyl!

This album is magic. Can’t stop jamming to it.

The summer this was released I had just returned home after living for five years in Papua, Indonesia and was about to move to Phoenix, a city I knew nothing about. I was anxious and out of place existentially, and nowhere felt like home. Then "48:00 of Your Life" was released (when I was in Minnesota, coincidentally), I immediately purchased it and burned it to CD, and I felt closer to home than in many years. Thanks for posting this. And thank you, Paul.

just saw an itnerview where Paul said this is his best work. Or what he wants to be known for. It was from this interview: Paul Westerberg, interviewed by Peter Wolf (REUPLOAD)

I’m in bed with a cold/viral thing my doc reckons during COVID-19 and have spent way too much time sleeping and then looking up on rabbit holes. Thankful I came back to Pauly. I’ve cancelled out a lot music the last few years until January 2020. Great to catch up with what Pauli’s been doing. Read that Spin interview. Let’s Not Belong Together is a great song from grandpa boy. I’m glad he acknowledged that. The I Don’t Cares record is great too as is this. Weekend listening will be all Paul.

One of PW's finest solo works. So glad I downloaded the album before the copyright police arrived.

This is the best album ever recorded by an individual. Bar none!😊

excerpts from reviews 'I would actually spend 49 minutes listening to Westerberg gargle water.'

The best Westerberg ever!

This man is so fucking brilliant, other musicians should cower and hide their collective faces in shame as they hear the way real creativity sounds

The best kept secret album ever.

Maybe his best work.

I just keep playing this over and over, it gets better with each listen. Thankyou

love this more with each listen. And he's so cool he doesn't drive. Does not drive! Very rock & roll.

Truly one of the best, and weirdest, albums I have ever heard. Layers and layers of brilliance. Reminds me of channel-surfing through radio stations while on a road trip and landing on great music. Love it.

the ghost says 'you're welcome'

OUTSTANDING. Love live Paul 'Grandpaboy' Westerberg!

Guided By Westerberg

Absolutely some of Paul’s best work.

paul is my favorite alternative artist of all time . He continues to make me want to write ,,, due to his great sounding imperfect voice . Always cool words , and moans ! my band THE ATTITUDES is strongly influenced by paul westerberg . Me hats off to ya Paul !!!

An album I wasn't aloud to hear Paul Westerberg, take a fence don't buying anything just gave you everything lolol LOVE YOU Paul Westerberg LOVE ❣️❤️❤️ ENDLESS HEART LOVE YOU Paul Westerberg ahum love women Paul Westerberg but your OKAY in my books LOVE.

“never coming back” is a serious gem

I've been aware of 49:00 for awhile, but never listened to it until recently because it's not readily available besides on here and soundcloud. Such an incredible album. I honestly think this could've been a career comeback for him if only it reached a wider audience.

Man, I couldn't hit the 'like' button fast enough.

Going to see the Mats in September ... I will never sleep again.

The album comes as one long 49 minute MP3, and the songs tend to bleed into one another, even at times playing on top of each other. In the virtual "liner notes", Westerberg states for his fans that "This product is not faulty- All sounds are intentional and valid as a work of art". However, most of the songs are remarkable

Finally found this... Amazing. Made my day.. 1000%

Actual pop perfection

Buried treasure.

I"m on the brink today of writing something memorable, oh well.

Love this album! Hopefully, it will be released on vinyl someday.

I think I love Paul!

Love that garage/cardboard box beat

'All in all, this is a daring and non-commercial statement from one of the greatest songwriters of my lifetime' all these quotes are from the same review which i'd link if yt would allow me to

Goddamn I love this.

Love love love this track...tracks? Incredibly personal.

i love this record so much

This music makes my heart sing!

Aah the wonderful imperfect humanness...

This is the standard of "garage". The Stones have come close several times. However Paul is king of Americana GARAGE.

Westerberg is simply the greatest of his generation - lets not forget that he was what made Kurt Cobain want to pick up a guitar - enjoy - I fear the rich kids making music today are never gonna come close to this stuff. Thanks Paul

Sidenote: It breaks my heart that Paul's dad never went to see him play. I know that feeling, and it hurts. The song "My Dad" (from Folker) sounded utterly genuine to me, not unlike John Lennon's "God is a concept by which we measure our pain..." etc. I would've tried to work with him to polish the lyrics just a tiny bit, just to make the pieces fit together a little better (without losing the overall integrity of the piece) and then add some tasteful backing layers (color). Creativity becomes art when it takes shape and is fully actualized. Westerberg is a wonderfully creative person who bumps up against something artistic and then recoils before the thing ever comes together completely, as if he's terrified of creating a finished work. On the other hand, he might just be one of those kinetic types that can't be bothered with the drudgery of putting the finishing touches on anything (too boring perhaps?). I'll bet that he has notebooks full of half-finished songs still to come...

LOOVE come on be my darlin' song . Greatness . Makes me grab my guitar and create. To write my own life in song.

on constant repeat in my car

Great! many cool songs .

Thank You and ghost and Paul!

Thank you for this.

Thanks for the amazing upload.

It's available on SoundCloud intact (i.e. with the covers)

Thanks for the whole thing! It drove me nuts to label 6 songs!

thanks for sharing !

The bridge in Kentucky rising is so genius omg

I like to come here to be drunk and cry

Do you like Paul?the Replacements? You’ll like this.

Every night I come unglued.

jeez louise, I do have a heart

But it's only 48:04..........

A shambling mess... excellent.

i demand that one minute!!!!

best is at 29:17 . WOW love this sound .

I'M ALWAYS IN LOVE-THANKS MATE -SAVED ME (AGAIN??!!!)

How can I transfer this into my iTunes library??????? Been trying to find this for a couple of years, thank you from Australia! PW's solo efforts are my favourite discs of the last 25 years.

I’ve always wondered if the title of the record is a twist on Green Day’s Time of your life

if anyones looking for a tracklist and times message me and i'll send you a link

41:46 OH YEAH.. wow.. lol.. this is great. I got a kick out of this.

When is Paul going to get out there again and give us what we need? Man.

i've put a link to the tracklist under the copyright disclaimer in the description for you

Dig it

Who says? Ha! It does make me smile. All product is faulty. All art is faulty.

The best musical work of art ever produced. Whenever I feel like committing sucicide I put 49:00 on.

i guess they're his basement tapes .......

There's a ghost I swear to God I saw it not just in black but in full colours

The best moment starts at 10:42. "Well it wouldn't hurt you to see your grandma, every now and again, I'm sure your mom would drive..." Westy's been on a streak with Folker, Tremble, Dead Man Shake and this. Thanks for fuckin' one up like the old days. Hope you swing through Atlanta with Tommy this summer.

I'd love the tracklist ghost.

:)

I am here because of E

Stupid touch screen, I may have accidentally flagged or liked a comment. Sorry if someone got a flag, didn't mean to. Thank you for the post...

"tell me...who you gonna marry....."

Actually, the "unknown female" kind of sounds like it could be his son. If so, he's definitely better at punk ala 41:00 ish. ;)

No Buff in this one I know, unless were looking to get sued

Wer hat den Kunstleder Kinderwagen sehe ich gerade auf dem Foto die von 70er Jahren den hellblau weißen Kinderwagen aus die Besitzer von die Telefonnummer dass ich da anrufen kann und dass sie auch lieferbar als

"Devil raised a good boy"!!!!......so sssiiiicccckkkk

Westerberg is just like Dylan. Except Paul is good. MATS.

Westerberg has a grand tradition of shooting himself in the foot so that he doesn't have to prove to anyone how fast he can run. The Loneliness of the Long Distance Chart Topper. However, w/ the scattershot 49:00, he is aware that his best efforts win the race everytime. An online poll taken concludes that people hit the mute at 31:25 to prevent ear infection due to off-key warbling from unknown female. Westerberg's self-hatred is still unmatched. No medal awarded for that, son.

You watch...Taylor Swift plugs everyone & plays w/everyone...(guest app.)...watch...acouple more "him's"...& she'll be singin' Westerberg or 'Mats tunes...watch...watch

Some one please tell me more..I'm a huge Paul fan. Where was this hiding?

Sad but so would I. WEsterberg farting would be cool. But not so much echo.

...and no time markers. Thanks anyhow.

What's with the neurotic edits and cross fades?

have you guys heard Chris Mars’ ‘Horseshoes and Hand Grenades’? it’s better than this
