CLASSIC INTERVIEW:
This year marks two important anniversaries for Bob Mould. Thirty years ago, in 1979, his seminal trio, Hüsker Dü, played its first live gig. Ten years later, after Hüsker’s brutal demise, Mould made his solo debut with Workbook, an indie-rock masterwork and certified classic that found Mould baring his soul. It is an album that remains as poignant today as it was then. Mould’s latest and ninth solo album, Life and Times, revisits the writing style and personal tone of Workbook, and, while Mould has dabbled to various degrees in electronic atmospheres and textures in the past decade, Life and Times also finds him more at ease with the guitar than he has seemed in years. Just a couple years shy of his fiftieth birthday, Mould spoke with Under the Radar about his new album, his seminal debut, and the autobiography he is currently penning to be published in time for that next big anniversary (via Bob Mould | Under The Radar)
