Stereo (Paul Westerberg album)

Stereo is the fourth solo album by Paul Westerberg. At this point in his career, the former Replacements leader was entering a new phase. He said goodbye to professional studios and big-name producers like Brendan O'Brien and Don Was, recording the album in his basement by himself. As detailed in the liner notes, Westerberg made no effort to fix imperfections like the tape running out in the middle of a song. Stereo was packaged with Mono, which he credited to his Grandpaboy alter ego.

gollark: But when I restarted Firefox for an update it stopped happening.
gollark: I had that for a bit.
gollark: Well, I made *an* autotrader, not one everyone used.
gollark: It worked really well, until they banned it with no explanation for 6 months, and the actual "investment" functionality there is dead now anyway.
gollark: I think my most practical (in that it mostly works and performed a function you could barely describe as being maybe useful) project on github is the MemeEconomy Autotrader bot I wrote ages ago, to make excessive amounts of money on r/memeeconomy.
