bob mould's first solo album, "workbook" is fantastic.

i have listened to workbook, years ago it seems, last album i lstened to was the big Sugar one, used to listen to it every day once.

I'm a huge Husker Du/Bob Mould/Sugar fan. New Day Rising and Warehouse Songs and Stories were both formative albums in my tastes now. Sugar's Copper Blue album and their Beaster e.p. are on permanent rotation in my mp3 player. I got to see Bob Mould play an acoustic set in Philly for the Black Sheets of Rain tour in 1990. It was in a small venue that doesn't hold more than 100 people. It was killer.

He released an album with a guy named Richard Morel under the name Blowoff in 2006. He released a solo album this year named District Line. I'm checking it out now.

It's really good. He has discovered electronica without cheesing out. It's not all electronic by any means. I have just noticed that he's no longer afraid of using a synth and a vocoder prominently. Nice musical progression while retaining the heart and feel of his unique sound.

That side project named Blowoff is electronic too. More like Bob Mould sings Postal Service style tracks. Good stuff if you can find it.

liked them better when they were hardcore punk than the watered down stuff they did later on.
can't remember the name of it, but the album with the dead bodies coming back from war on the cover on alternative tentacles was my favourite.....
