Bob’s Body of Work

Bob Mould, feeling a bit more expansive in this Irish Times interview:

“People regularly ask why I don’t play the Hüsker Dü songs, and it’s a good question. I think this tour those songs will be fine. I’ve sort of reconciled all that, putting my work into different drawers. In a sense I saw the uselessness of that. Now I look at my whole body of work, the different things I’m trying to do, and I come to the conclusion that it’s all about me, and it’s about what I do.

I suppose most of us knew all along that it was all about Bob, but I’m still glad that he’s doing older stuff again. His new album, Body of Song, is out on July 26.
