Comment:
A counterpart of sorts to Rob Conroy's fine Grant Hart compilation, here's my tribute to everybody's second favorite bald gay 80's college radio superstar. It's admittedly a bit light on the legendary Husker Du era, in part because I tried to keep things poppy (and Grant Hart was a far better pop songwriter than Bob back then), and in part because I'm still holding out hope that Bob & Grant will stop hating each other's guts long enough to get the back catalog reissued and remastered so it doesn't sound like it was recorded in the mud cellar under my house. I find that the cuts from the first Sugar album still hold up remarkably well as a high-watermark of '90's indie pop/rock, but, of course, this was worth making just for one more chance to hear Husker's bang-up cover of the Mary Tyler Moore theme. I cut this off with Bob's supposed kiss-off to guitar-driven rock in '98, excluding his more recent forays into electronica and folk.
Feedback:
great guys great mix
Yes indeed , great mix though my fave Bob Mould song was missed , I truly adore Black sheets of rain
Always a big Husker Du fan, though not so much Sugar or Mould solo. Still, this looks like a great mix!
Always liked Bob & his solo stuff up until your stopping points. Catching him live was always devastating. Kinda doubt if he can do the same with acoustic or electronic material. Looks like the Du's catalog will get remastered soon, but we may have a better shot at catching the Ramones original line-up than a Huskers reunion.
Wonderful. Great news about the remastered Hnsker Dn.
brilliant stuff. Marc. Two of my very fav songs are here. "Makes no sense at all" & "If I can't change your mind"
This looks really cool. I know more Husker Du than Mould or Sugar, but this has me wanting to listen to more of all of them. Enjoyed the notes too!
For what it's worth as far as a reunion goes, Greg Norton owns a restuarant just across the border in Wisconsin where he doubles as the chef. He says Grant and Bob are still a long ways away from friendly, but it's nice to see that they've come close enough to get these remasters out.
Great mix, love that first Sugar album
Good stuff. Bob has always been my favorite Husker Duer, and Sugar released some amazing records. File Under East Listening is the coolest CD you can find in 99-cent stores.
My first Bob disc was the mix and match >Poison YearsBlack Sheets Of Rain<, which I still hold up to many that think the Sub Pop crew was the be-all/end-all of the 90's recorded music scene... Bob and the Du, and the sweet stuff... damned fine mix, I must say.
Good tribute to a somewhat difficult artist - what i like from him i *really* like.
In Husker I was always more of Hart man since I'm a power pop guy by nature, and Grant seemed to know his way around a hook better. Bob seemed to favor the riff and just pound the shit out of it, which is also a good thing. Ultimately I prefer his Sugar songs over most of his Husker stuff since it was poppier. All that said, a weak Bob Mould song is still better than many of his contemporaries' shining moments. Great picks across the board that would mostly mirror what I would have chosen.
Great selections.
Nice. I can't say I'm much of a Sugar fan or of much of Bob's solo work, but I like your Huskers picks immensely. The only one I would have otherwise included is "It's Not Peculiar".
THis looks like it fills a clear gap in the AOTM collection, from what I have seen. Two things: A) who is the first bald gay radio 80's guy?, and b) I loved Copper Blue. In the vein of keeping things poppy, does another Sugar album come close to that one? I am a bit sad that I had a chance to see him in Dallas 10 years ago, and missed it.
Answer for Steve: I was thinking Michael Stipe. Of course, neither Stipey nor Mould was bald (or, for that matter, out) during the '80's.
