Bob Mould autobiography

For anyone thats interested

Boblog

cheers!!

I'm very curious as Bob has always been very private.

Looking forward to it myself Johnathon,

The 'Husker Du' years should make good reading

It was Grant, in the conservatory, with the needle. They've both got extremely selective memories, but it will be interesting to get stuff straight from the horse's mouth.

Here was me thinking it was Gregg,

in the kitchen,with the bad feet

Had the Huskers on all day today, loads of 1987 boots, Warehouse and the mad tour where they just made it up as they went along, cracking stuff, and some great memories.

Tim,is it yerself thats got the boot of Mould and Hart on stage together 2 or 3 years ago?

If so,any chance of a copy mate?

Sure, it's only two songs mind, Hardly Getting Over It and Never Talking To You Again. Both were playing guitar. I'll fire it over when I get on tother PC.

That was at a benefit for Karl Mueller, bassist for Soul Asylum who was stricken with cancer. He has since died sadly.

I believe it was,yes

I wish i could find this benefit on you tube if it is on it. Grant looks like a pirate

Haven't read it yet but Zen Arcade is one hell of an album. Some of Bob's solo work is alright also....doesn't compare to what he did with Husker Du though

Or clicked the link,

it isnt out til about 2010

I saw Bob last March. Great Show but I wish it were Brendan Canty on drums. Looking forward to reading this.

what is Bob doing nowadays under the name Blowoff? DJing or creating electronic music with another guy?

Always liked back then ...Zen Arcade, New Day Rising, Candy Apple Grey

Sugar was always hyped but I thought it was a major bore. Saw him once solo but I remember nothing much to be honest.

Yes, with Richard Morel, who, as Pink Noise, has remixed loads of bands, including New Order.

They DJed here in San Francisco a couple of weeks ago. Amazing gig.

I'm glad that Bob has also come out as gay. See, not all of us homos are mincers. :)

Don't think he wanted to though!! Despite various clues in some of his lyrics (and common knowledge amongst the Du fraternity), it took a vicious outing by the NME in 1993 before he accepted the inevitable. Grant of course didn't help, though you have to say Grant's subsequent release "Ecce Homo" was the best album title/put down ever at someone unwilling to come out.

May I suggest that he's rather overdone it though, slightly? Instead of it being Bob Mould, musician and songwriter, it's almost a case of it being Gay Bob Mould, Gay musician and Gay songwriter. Nothing he does or says these days is just about the music. Merely an observation having followed his career for 27 years......

I like Bob, always have done, always found him to be witty and rather humble at times. I remember asking him "are the horizons still oblivious" after a London solo gig about 7 years ago, the answer was a cracking piece of wit that I will endeavour to quote in full one day.

The book has the potential to be a great read, so much more than just about the music. I just hope that the rancour that is still there doesn't taint the work too much, like it has so much of his recorded output.
