Bob Mould

I've just heard his new album Life And Times, courtesy of Daniel. It's pretty decent, reminding me the first time when I've heard his previous band Sugar. It seems like an interesting statement of his music from his punk roots to his power-pop days to his recent forays into electronic music.

Bob Mould's from the same league of alternative indie rockers from the 80's like R.E.M and The Pixies. I love the Sugar stuff which was decidely more power-pop but wasn't crazy about his 80's hardcore punk stuff with Hüsker Dü. Hüsker Dü had a direct influence on the early 90's alternative rock acts like Nirvana. So you know the dude's of pedigree stock.

Check out some of Sugar's catalogue here. My favourite album is File Under: Easy Listening which I did a reference to the Lunarin remix I did a few years back. Absolutely no correlation and random, I know. Who cares?
