Bob Mould
About a year ago, I was reading a feature in Harp Magazine(R.I.P) on Bob Mould. I have great respect for the Husker Du catalog, and Sugar's Copper Blue was a top ten album even in the Rock & Roll/Hip-Hop watershed that was 1992. When I came to the large picture of Bob that accompanied the article I reached over, showing the photo to Jill. "That's the fountain in Malcolm X Park!" It sure was. Bob lives in Columbia Heights and we've seen him coming and going a number of times on U Street. Bob's latest release, the aptly title District Line, is my favorite album of 2008 so far.MP3 Sugar - Hoover Dam

Please do not forget about what I believe are Bob Mould's finest worksongs, his pair of solo albums after Husker Du and before Sugar: Workbook (1989), and Black Sheets of Rain (1990). Of course I am biased in favor of these, because my real introduction to Bob Mould came courtesy of his '91 show at Graffiti in Pittsburgh. The opening act was Vic Chesnutt!
That's funny. I couldn't find a bunch of Sugar songs I always liked yesterday. I realize now that it was because they from Black Sheets of Rain. Thanks for another great comment.
