bands that we wish would come back

didn't Grant and Bob have a mini-reunion set a few years ago, at that cancer benefit for the Soul Asylum guy?

Bob Mould is in my kitchen cooking Christmas dinner. Really.

I told him about this thread and he said 2012 is the 20th anniversary for Copper Blue, so he's already been thinking about it. He'd remaster/reissue the catalog and tour.

That's awesome news! Now I feel bad for saying anything slightly negative about him at all, - I think he's great, but I do admit the last album I really enjoyed was Body of Song, but there are worthwhile tunes off of the latest two.

I just missed his set in Boston last year (playing a show with Pres of the USA and Death Cab) b/c I just couldn't fathom him being the opening act. He was.

Jesus. Now I feel incredibly old that Copper Blue is 20 years old. My roommates and I played nonstop for about 2 years in college

Yes. That was the last time they spoke.

Sabres Of Paradise

Stone Roses (overpriced reunion tour with no new music to promote? Yes please!!)

New Order (not very witty, but honest)

Led Zeppelin with Bonham Jnr or Grohl on Drums. Proper tour please not one Paris-Hilton-attended-O2-gig that the rest of us couldn't fuckin go to.

Purely for gigs:

The Chameleons

Dexys Midnight Runners mk1

For new music/gig:

The Redskins

Cabaret Voltaire

Be Bop Deluxe/Red Noise

and Jerry Sadowitz as MC at each gig, a genuinely scary/unpredictable stage presence

Husker Du would be my choice...

Greg wouldn't be a problem, but Grant - no way.

Bob's been working on his biography with Michael Azerrad for the past year. It'll be out sometime in 2011, and he's insinuated that if there ever was a chance of Husker Du getting back together, the book will kill it.

I started a thread about Bobs book a while ago on this very forum

The Huskers would be my choice as well
