Dare to dream: Yesterday The Minneapolis City Page's Jim Walsh posted a picture of the three surviving original members of the Replacements -- Paul Westerberg, Tommy Stinson and Chris Mars -- and wrote that it was taken while they were in a studio to record a track with super drummer Josh Freese (who has toured as Westerberg's drummer in the past) for the upcoming Replacements box set. That box set does not yet have a firm street date. There is a scheduled date for Bastards of Young: The Best of Replacements, that's coming out on Rhino on May 23rd.

Coolfer's question: Why two drummers? Are they covering Pavement songs, or is Mars playing either guitar or bass?

More Replacements: Troubled Girl Films will show a trailer of its Replacements movie, "Color Me Impressed," at this year's Noise Pop Festival in San Francisco. You can download the trailer here (WM, 4.2 MB).

Update: Billboard.com confirms that the Replacements were in the studio recording a new song for the upcoming box set, Don't You Know Who I Think I Was?: The Best of the Replacements, due June 13th on Rhino. The two songs are titled "Message to the Boys" and "Pool & Dive." Freese played drums and Mars, who is going strictly with his art these days, sang backup.
