About this listen
Bob Mould, whose records with Hüsker Dü had such impact on Nirvana and Pixies, is back on tour again, both solo and with a band. “I’ve built this tiny soap box - and if you don’t like it, it’s been nice knowing you!” He talks to us from San Francisco about …
… March 30 1979: “the day that changed my life”
… over-refreshment on the bus to see Rush and Aerosmith, aged 16
… the influence of Hüsker Dü on Nirvana, Pixies and My Bloody Valentine – “it’s a game of hot potato. YOU take this sound now!”
… seeing the Ramones opening for Iggy Pop – “simplistic on the surface but I got all their ‘60s pop references”
… the art of the three-song set-opener
… playing Buzzcocks and Ventures covers in ‘three-two’ bars
… opening for the Foo Fighters, playing for 100,00 people – and for crowds wearing masks during Covid
… “the more the production, the less the spontaneity”
… visual clues playing solo to let the audience know where the beat is
… “I’m one of those others”: inter-song riffs about politics, protest and oppression
