Bob Mould - Body of Song

I case you haven’t noticed it yet, I’m a huge fan of Bob Mould. From his days with Husker Du, with Sugar to his solo efforts, he’s just an awesome songwriter. Some would expect that at this point in his illustrious career he would be churning out mediocre works, but no, he’s just not over yet. In fact he’s just picking up steam, a second wind if you will. His 2005 release Body of Song totally blew me away upon hearing it. Great lyrics, even better melodies. It’s hard to pick out a favorite but I’ll try…

Songs like I am Sound, I am Vision, Best Thing, Missing You plus the mid-tempo numbers such as High Fidelity, Gauze of Friendship made this album a great listen. His lyrics really paints a great picture and never pretentious. He always says what he means, and means what he says. He’s never vague, the way songwriters ought to be.

The other post is the audio rip of the Circle of Friends DVD. This was recorded live at the 9:30 Club during his touring supporting the release of Body of Song. I actually have the DVD, so if like me to upload it just let me know. If there are enough requests I’ll upload it.

Note:

My friend, the Terrorizer, uploaded this record plus the Audio-rip of the Circle of Friends DVD. He said that he found these in the torrent and gonna upload them on his Multiply site. So instead of uploading my copy, I just asked him if I could post these here and he obliged. Great guy indeed! Thanks bro and more power.

Enjoy!

Bob Mould - Workbook

It should be obvious by now that I'm a big Bob Mould fan. From his work in Husker Du, his solo works and with Sugar's. So posting his first two solo records Workbook and Black Sheets of Rain is not a shocker. Plus I also included the Beaster EP and File Under: Easy Listening both by Sugar.

I made a promise that I'm going to post these releases and here they are. Enjoy!

Bob Mould - Black Sheets of Rain

A scalding, monolithic collection of soul-baring lyrics and primal guitars, Black Sheets of Rain is extremely powerful musically, but is also slightly monotonous. Nevertheless, the record features several inspired songs from Mould, including the catchy single "It's Too Late."

Bob Mould - Poison Years

I have to admit that I actually not very thrilled to Bob Mould’s solo efforts. Then I found this CD in the early 2000. I already have the Sugar records Copper Blue & File Under: Easy Listening so I though, wtf it’s Bob Mould! I bought it and was totally blown away by it. He did not lose any of his power & brilliance after the demise of Husker Du, if not even matured, in a really good way. What am I thinking, avoiding his solo records? There's only one left to do, I have to scrounge every record store here the Philippines just to get a hold of Bob Mould’s back catalog – Workbook, Black Sheets of Rain, etc. Good thing I was able to track 'em down. I won't forgive myself if I wasn't able to find them. I'll be very pisssed!

Anyways, I’ll be posting my Sugar & Bob Mould’s records in the near future. Meanwhile, I gotta get back to FB to play VW. Adios for now mi amigos. Hope you enjoy the posts.
