Today's Morning Edition music is "1/2 2 P," a brand new song from Juliana Hatfield and Paul Westerberg, who have joined forced to become The I Don't Cares.

Westerberg, of course, was the leader of the Replacements from 1980 until their breakup in 1991.

In 2012, he and guitarist Tommy Stinson created a new version of the Replacements, which played at a series of well-received concerts. But in June, Westerberg announced from the stage that fans were seeing the final Replacements show ever.

The I Don't Cares are promising a full album of new material soon.
