This is for my friend, Grant. I know he loves these guys, and I wanted to do something special for him.
I know that all of these tracks were on the Sugar compilation called Besides. But, I felt they needed to be their own companion disc to File Under Easy Listening. The differences between the two recording sessions of Sugar's two albums caused the b-sides of each particular album to clash.
I love Bob Mould's voice. I'd like to post some Husker Du albums, but I don't like the other guy's voice. I think I may do a Mould compilation of just the songs that he sings. That might be cool.
Always liked this Mould incarnation. Listened to him all through college, and still do to this day. I preferred Sugar to all the other College Rock/Grunge/Alternative bands out there. The songs were a lot more substantial than anyone else out there, and they weren't over-hyped and over-played.
You should like them.
Off to watch Inside Out with my 5-year-old. He has a sore throat and wants to watch a movie while I sooth him. I'll enjoy being the nurturing father, now.
Have a great evening.
This is awesome! I loved "File Under Easy Listening" -- I love pretty much ANYTHING this band does. "If I Can't Change Your Mind" will always be one of my top ten songs. That, to me, is more or less THE perfect pop song. Can't wait to listen to this!
