Aug 13, RandomAnthony rated it really liked it. I can say, without hyperbole, I hope, that the author is one of my most enduring music heroes. Mould might be the only artist I've See a Little Light: The Trail of Rage and Melody in concert so many times I've lost track of the total. His Workbook tour performance at Chicago's Metro ranks as one See a Little Light: The Trail of Rage and Melody the best concerts I've ever seen. Bob Mould was important to me, I think, because he appeared to be a plain, homely intense guy from the upper Midwest but played guitar with awe-inspiring intensity and wrote songs that never, ever let up. Husker Du was a guy's band, and Mould's songs in particular I was very much a Mould guy, although I didn't hate most of Grant Hart's songs articulated the rage, hope and anger I couldn't put to words or music. But he wrote personal songs, mostly, and I analyzed them like scripture. Bob Mould was fear and promise and honesty and loud enough to wash away the pain. I've always admired his integrity. And now, with Mr. Mould past fifty, and me past forty, I find myself listening and reading Bob Mould's work in a different light, one more authentic because he's embraced change, struggled to grow, and stared in the mirror with an eye on finding out exactly who he is behind all those emotions. On that level I've needed Mr. Mould more than ever and read this book at the perfect time. Mould skims over topics e. Zen Arcade of which a reader might expect a chapter. He speaks naturally, conversationally, about his early small town upstate years and the move to Minneapolis that preceded the formation of Husker Du. He outlines, without growing See a Little Light: The Trail of Rage and Melody, his desire for safety and belonging in the context of the underground scene in connection with his difficulty trusting people and need for control over his musical direction and band financial business. Many names mentioned don't come off well; if he can, ten bucks Grant Hart sues the fuck out of the book's publisher. But Mould embraces his own negative behavior and seems to understand how his actions could lead people to think he's an asshole. I'm sure others have their stories, but this is his, and the Husker Du years function as a prelude for the self-discovery that makes up the book's soul.

  • SST Defies Industry, Defines New Music
    Page 1 The San Diego Union-Tribune October 1, 1995 Sunday SST Defies Industry, Defines New Music By Daniel de Vise KNIGHT-RIDDER NEWSPAPERS DATELINE: LOS ALAMITOS, CALIF. Ten years ago, when SST Records spun at the creative center of rock music, founder Greg Ginn was living with six other people in a one-room rehearsal studio. SST music was whipping like a sonic cyclone through every college campus in the country. SST bands criss-crossed the nation, luring young people away from arenas and corporate rock like no other force since the dawn of punk. But Greg Ginn had no shower and no car. He lived on a few thousand dollars a year, and relied on public transportation. "The reality is not only different, it's extremely, shockingly different than what people imagine," Ginn said. "We basically had one place where we rehearsed and lived and worked." SST, based in the Los Angeles suburb of Los Alamitos, is the quintessential in- dependent record label. For 17 years it has existed squarely outside the corporate rock industry, releasing music and spoken-word performances by artists who are not much interested in making money. When an SST band grows restless for earnings or for broader success, it simply leaves the label. Founded in 1978 in Hermosa Beach, Calif., SST Records has arguably produced more great rock bands than any other label of its era. Black Flag, fast, loud and socially aware, was probably the world's first hardcore punk band. Sonic Youth, a blend of white noise and pop, is a contender for best alternative-rock band ever.

  • The Sounds of Ideas Forming, Volume 2 Alan Dunn, 22 July 2019
    The sounds of ideas forming, Volume 2 Alan Dunn, 22 July 2019 The Crushed This is the Waste Recycling Centre in Bidston, Wirral, and it’s been on my mind a lot recently no matter how I try to forget it. Maybe writing this will clear some of it up - we’ll find out in the last few paragraphs. In 2013 I threw half of my record collection away into those skips. Plastic in one, sleeves in another. I didn’t donate to a charity shop, sell on Discogs, give to a friend nor give to you, dear reader and probable record collector. They aren’t put in storage, but inconceivably crushed. At the time, I probably have around 1,000 discs and make choices to keep about 500. As we are packing to move home quickly, I make two piles and discard those records that have done nothing for me and that I’m sure I won’t listen to again. I reject expensive discs that have let me down with their lack of magic. I get rid of a lot of crap bought in charity shops and shit that I haven’t even listened to more than once. Or not even once. Why think back to it then, if it was only dross that got culled? After getting the vinyl bug back again in 2016, it’s inevitable that I recall those weeks. And since beginning The sounds of idea forming, Volume 2 on Instagram in July 2018, I begin to wonder if my confession may make interesting reading for the community out there, so please stay with me because there are methods behind the madness.

  • Jeremy Porter Howler's Coyote Cafe Friday April 9, 2010 Bloomfield
    April 9, 2010 Jeremy Porter Howler's Coyote Cafe Friday April 9, 2010 Bloomfield In an effort to preview new music and upcoming shows of worth, I am starting a new feature here. Rather than an interview, I will ask few questions pertaining to an artists' musical taste. Today, I ask Jeremy Porter (who has a long and interesting career) to participate. The first album you ever bought? "KISS Alive! or Cheap Trick at Budokan. I remember hearing I Want You To Want Me and just being drawn in by that melody. I couldn’t get it out of my head and to this day melody and hooks are my favorite parts of music. Truth is though, it was probably Alive! I knew I wanted a KISS record, I knew it had to have Rock And Roll All Night on it, and Alive! had so many songs. Seemed like a good choice. Funny that they were both live records!" Your last album bought? "The Big To-Do by the Drive-By Truckers. Lots of people see them as the best band in the world these days. I have trouble arguing that. They have been unbelievably consistent for many years. This record is a bit shorter and a bit more rockin’ than the last couple, but the perfect follow up to last year’s Brighter Than Creations Dark." Favorite album of all time? "Tough question. It rotates around a bit I suppose. Let it Be by The Replacements is up there. Exile on Main Street (Rolling Stones) or Quadrophenia by The Who.

  • Von the Fall Bis Sonic Youth Und Zurück
    Von The Fall bis Sonic Youth und zurück Menschen | Don’t get him wrong…: Mark E. Smith wurde nur 60 Jahre alt Mark E. Smith sah schrecklich blass aus in den vergangenen Jahren. Dabei wirkte er früher immer sophisticated wie ein spießiger Student. Sehr hübsch sozusagen. War aber ganz anders. Und er zeigte seine Band The Fall vor. Die soll im Lauf der Zeit mehr als vier Dutzend Bandmembers gehabt haben. Von TINA KAROLINA STAUNER Mastermind Mark E. Smith als Frontman führte sie alle vor. Haben alle, die wollten, gesehen und gehört. Nur wer halt. Und was halt. Post-Hardcore-Punk, Indie-Rock, Avantgarde-Pop. Independent-Zeug. Das jeder hörte. Und niemand. Und ein paar namhafte Leute, die ich namentlich kenne. Mark E. Smith lebte von 1957 bis 2018. Mark E. Smith und The Fall: proletarisches Selbstbewusstsein Ich hatte mit der bloßen Pop- und Rock-Szene und der Indie-Szene kaum etwas zu tun. Aber doch so einiges. Mehr als so einiges. Ich hörte nie einfach nur Musik. Anfangs habe ich auch Sonic Youth nur am Rande wahrgenommen. Doch einmal beobachtete ich ein Sonic Youth-Konzert. Nein, zweimal. Und vor über 20 Jahren im Vorprogramm kriegte ich unvermutet mit, wie Kurt Cobain auf seine E- Gitarre eindrosch. In solchen Konzerten traf man jedes Mal auch die Leute, die Dinosaur Jr. hörten. Diese komischen Indie-Leute, von denen dann wiederum einige ständig von The Fall sprachen. Auf The Fall einigten sich Individualisten und ein paar mehr. Dinosaur Jr. aber wussten alle. Nun lebt Mark E. Smith nicht mehr. Es ist zu spät für ihn.
