The Replacements record new tracks

Billboard.com broke the news yesterday that The Replacements have come together to record two new tracks for Don’t You Know Who I Think I Was?: The Best of the Replacements, their forthcoming greatest hits album. “Message to the Boys” and “Pool & Dive” will be the first new recordings by the band in 16 years.

But don’t get too excited yet–there is little hope of the band reuniting beyond these two recordings. Billboard writes:

Westerberg also said he tried to reunite the Replacements for an October 2004 benefit concert for Soul Asylum’s Karl Mueller, who later died of cancer. “I didn’t call the guys myself,” he admitted. “One of our old roadie pals came over who owns a bar now and runs a club and was asking if I would do a benefit for Karl and I said, ‘See if the boys want to play.’ And he kind of went around and got various answers and it didn’t come back real strong like, ‘Hey let’s do it.’ And I felt like that was the opportunity, that was the chance and we just missed it.

“Now I say, there’s probably no chance we’ll get back together again,” he said, without pinpointing which of his former colleagues were not interested. “It bothered me for like an afternoon,” he laughed. “But, it did bother me for that long because I was secretly excited and some of them weren’t.”

The new retrospective will feature a decent survey of The Replacement’s legacy and include the two brand new tracks. Here is the tracklisting:

“Takin a Ride”
“Shiftless When Idle”
“Kids Don’t Follow”
“Color Me Impressed”
“Within Your Reach”
“I Will Dare”
“Answering Machine”
“Unsatisfied”
“Here Comes a Regular”
“Kiss Me on the Bus”
“Bastards of Young”
“Left of the Dial”
“Alex Chilton”
“Skyway”
“Can’t Hardly Wait”
“Achin’ To Be”
“I’ll Be You”
“Merry Go Round”
“Message to the Boys”
“Pool & Dive”
