Mould solo, yes >- probably Workbook. Well, that's '89, but I'd have put in for THE LAST DOG & PONY SHOW. This record is criminally underrated -- you get the same basic format as Sugar, but Matt Hammon's drumming adds some actual *swing* to the beloved rat-at-ats of Sugar's Malcolm Travis. There is a variety of pace and tone that hasn't appeared on a post-Husker-Du Mould record (in the past, his albums were great at carrying one mood through to the end, then blowing that mood up on the last track -- see WORKBOOK, COPPER BLUE, BEASTER). The kicker for me is the lyric writing, though. Sugar lyrics have him struggling to break out of the same old cries for help, often adding neat twists. The BOB MOULD rekkid was his chance to throw spaghetti against the ADAT and see what sticks, so it's unusually abstract and private -- he's said that he didn't care about letting anyone in on that record. What I think that gave him on THE LAST DOG & PONY SHOW was the freedom to write about whatever he wanted, however he wanted. The gait of those lyrics is more relaxed, even though the emotions are still intense. It BREATHES, which is what sets it apart. Phew. See what happens when a 30-year-old has his first night on a great new bed? He gets 10 hours of sleep and spouts off about The Bob. :) - -- dolph ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 30 Aug 2003 10:02:49 -0500 From: Dolph Chaney Subject: corollary to "waxing Mouldy" ...oh, and yes -- for me Mould, not Dylan, is "The Bob." ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 30 Aug 2003 10:04:35 -0500 From: "Eugene F.

(this is not spam, dummy) I'm sponsoring a new bill - or rather, hoping to find someone who can sponsor a new bill - called the EDPFBJBOTDWDSTFS, or the Effective Death Penalty for Billy Joel Because of That Damned "We Didn't Start the Fire" Song bill. I was in a public place recently, and that song came on and reminded me again that it's quite possibly the most obnoxious song ever recorded. I was possessed with a powerful urge to kill someone, anyone, if that's what it took to make the song go away. To prevent such urges from causing even more harm and damage than they've already done, Billy Joel must die. Please, help prevent this scourge from afflicting your loved ones, your children, and even your neighbor's dogs, who've been known to gouge their own eardrums out in extreme cases.

Dole, Dylan and Newhart are probably next, then Marley and Saget. I used to work with a guy named Bob Wilcox whose name pops up in totally unexpected company. I think he's just pretty active-about-town. That's really unrelated, though. Oh, and around the corner from where I now live there used to be a joint called "Famous Bobs Pizza" (notably not "Famous Bob's Pizza". The walls were covered with pictures of, err, famous Bobs.
