Any Bob fans out there?

...Mould, that is. Picked up his newest--Body of Song--and its a sort of return to the edgy guitar that I think makes up his best work. Sort of between some of his slower solo work and Sugar. The fact that he has been mixing in a DC club kind of shows through with a couple tracks that are almost pop-ish. I thought Last Dog and Pony Show was supposed to be his goodbye to electric guitar driven tunes, but I, for one, am glad that he's picked it up again.

Given that this is an audiophile forum, I know I'm supposed to comment on the audio quality of the recording. Unfortunately, the CD hasn't made it out of my car yet...

Are you kidding? One of the greatest musical geniuses of all time, in my not so humble opinion. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Bob Mould! My wife says his voice is other-wordly. One of the best live performers ever. I'm going to get the new CD today!

He was the lead singer/songwriter in Husker Du, then solo, then Sugar, and then solo again. For an easy entry, try "Workbook", his first solo album. And if you want pure balls-out rock, try Sugar's EP "Beaster". My wife refers to it as 'lessons in rock music'. He has influenced an amazing number of bands, Nirvana among them.

He's on tour, by the way.

Just got "Body of Song" this morning, as I was driving from Sacramento down to the Bay Area. I listened to the CD three times in its entirety. What an incredible piece of work!
