    Bob Mould Post-Husker Du
    Listening to last year's expanded re-issues of Bob Mould's short-lived second band, Sugar. "Copper Blue" is a solid album, starting off with a heavy punch to the gut but goes out with a bit of a whimper. The second, live disc is where this expanded edition really shines. While the songs on "File Under: Easy Listening" don't pack as much visceral power as the hard rockers on "Copper Blue," I feel that it is overall a more balanced record. Really, the live discs on both of these re-issues make buying the expanded editions worth your money. I snagged 'em both when they were just $5 apiece from Amazon, so I'm missing the re-issue of the E.P. "Beaster" that comes with the CD/LP version of "Copper Blue," but I plan to eventually get both these albums on vinyl. If you're a fan of Bob Mould's work and have never listened to Sugar, get these albums. Like, now.

    Happy New Year Vol 1 A compilation of live tracks from 2012. A definite goosebumps moment on "Phoenix Story/Mr Bojangles." I'll not do it justice, it must be heard, but here's the gist: Todd is a big fan of Jerry Jeff Walker. One night in Phoenix the two of them closed down a bar and were wandering back to their hotel. Heard a tune, walked around a corner to investigate, there's a guy on a street corner at 3 am singing Mr Bojangles to nobody. Todd and Jerry Jeff stop and listen, Todd's mind racing ("Should I tell this guy, does he even know who this is?"). Song ends, Jerry Jeff throws some money in the hat and they go on their way. The story segues into the intro to Mr Bojangles, the crowd cheers, and the intro just goes on for a while. The crowd suddenly goes wild, very wild, and the first verse starts...Jerry Jeff singing. Pretty sweet...

    The Softer Side of Paul "H.R." Hudson
    In the mood this morning to listen to Paul "H.R." Hudson's other band, H.R. (a.k.a.: Human Rights). A rather big leap away from the thrashing, smashing, and screaming of Bad Brains, I have most but not all of his solo albums. More to the point, I have his SST releases and his most recent album, 'Hey Wella', but don't have any of the early '90s or early '00s records. And since I'm a bit of an O.C.D. stickler when it comes to listen to an artist's complete catalogue, I'm listening to the albums in chronological order:- 'Human Rights' - 'Singin' in the Heart' - 'H.R. Tapes '84-'86: It's About Love/Keep out of Reach' - 'Charge' - 'Hey Wella' plus the album's two singles, "Didn't I Tell You" and "Hey Wella" You can also get a CD of the band's latest tour, which features members of Fishbone and Suicidal Tendencies (if you're into that kind of stuff) as well as a limited edition split 45" with Valient Thorr and some other goodies through the band's Facebook page, "HR Human Rights."

    5/13/72 Lille Fairgrounds Lille, France Just listening to Jerry sing the chorus of Loser - with a sweet Suzie for good measure - and marveling at his great voice. And then he rips his all-about-the-nuance solo, flirting with harmonics all the while - so sweet! Sure's good to be alive in the middle of May!!! Ain't it?

    I found a used copy of this box (for umm$) but I am loving it. I am currently on the 2nd show and the Dark Star is getting really spooky. This sound quality is amazing too. I absolutely can't get enough of the DaP 6 too. I think the 2/2/70 is a better but its all on fire to my ears...especially the Eleven>New Speedway Boogie. 1st one ever...what a great snapshot in history! I love it. DaP 6 is actually what made me break down and get the FW 69 complete...

Been in the mood for some progressive rock since Friday morning. OHO is actually based in Baltimore, MD, and has been around since the '70s. They have been called "the American answer to Pink Floyd," though I'm not so sure that aptly describes their music. They have a heavy Celtic folk influence to their sound backed with powerful, haunting female vocals. Check 'em out on CD Baby.

Not sure how many of you--if any--are familiar with the music of Daniel Higgs (e.g.: Lungfish, Skull Defekts), but I recently scored a copy of the limited edition LP "The Godward Way." Higgs's solo work harkens back to early music--pre-music industry music--and is probably hard on the casual music listener, but his work is just so...PROLIFIC. "The Godward Way" is a 24-minute "jam" on the long-neck banjo and mouth harp with somew chanting/singing thrown in for good measure. And, as an added bonus, the LP came with a CD copy for easy portability. I have several of Higgs's solo records, and, if you're interested in jumping into that realm, I highly suggest starting with "Say God" of "Beyond & Between." They're less abrasive than such records as "Atomic Yggdrasil Tarot" or "Clairaudience Fellowship."

Found this to be the highlight show of the Spring '77 box. They are all close though. The band is in the same groove each of these five nights and it just seems to be the venue and crowd that are changing it up. These CD sleeves are very nice and would have made the E72 box far, far, better without adding much in the way if extra cost. They would have easily fit in the trunk, too!

Man, I haven't sat down to listen to the Ramones in what feels like ages, and it's amazing how one can forget how incredibly amazing a band truly is/was. I started listening while driving to work, and my one-year-old was squealing and dancing in her carseat. It does a poppa proud to see his little one love his favorite bands, too!

Giving "New Moon," the new Men album, a try. It was on my Amazon recommendations list, and I have no idea why. It's mildly terrible. That's about as well as I can summarize whatever it is I'm listening to.
