Bob Mould has been on a pretty good run the past couple years. He wrote an autobiography entitled See A Little Light, with the able assistance of Michael Azerrad. He put out a very solid solo album, Silver Age, with the able assistance of Jon Wurster and Jason Narducy (Great rhythm section for hire. I saw them with Robert Pollard, along with Tommy Keene on guitar). He worked with the Foo Fighters on their most recent studio album and was featured in their documentary, Back And Forth. And Merge Records reissued the entire Sugar catalog in deluxe packaging.
My first exposure to Bob Mould was the band Sugar. I rushed out to buy Copper Blue on the strength of the singles "If I Can't Change Your Mind" and "Helpless". I bought it on cassette. That was the last cassette I would ever buy, because shortly after that I finally got a CD player. I had actually gone quite a while without listening to it when the reissue came out last year. Twenty years later it still sounded awesome. One track that stood out to me this time around was "Hoover Dam". I don't remember liking it much back in the day, but now I feel it might be one of his strongest songs. Maybe it's because I have more reference points now than I did then. It was a departure from his typical style. It gave me an Andy Partridge-y, XTC-ish vibe. Obviously, I still love "If I Can't Change Your Mind" and "Helpless". There really isn't a bad song on Copper Blue. The reissue includes a live show from 1992, which is fantastic. There is also a B-side, "Needle Hits E", that I can't believe wasn't on a proper album. Also included is the "album", Beaster, which I still don't like much. That said, I enthusiastically recommend this reissue to my kids.
Now, let me take you on a walk down my rocky road with Bob Mould. He has the distinction of being the only artist I respect and enjoy that I've gotten rid of two of his CD's because I hated them so much. After Copper Blue, I began to work backward through Mould's releases. The library had his solo albums, Workbook and Black Sheets Of Rain, so I checked them out. They were alright, but I never bought them. Then I finally got around to trying Husker Du; the seminal band that inspired Nirvana and the Pixies. I bought Zen Arcade and I couldn't stand it. I eventually gave it away to a friend who wanted it. Then I bought his album Modulate on blind faith for reasons I still don't understand. It was electronic and horrible and I sold it in a garage sale. At this point, a normal person would have washed their hands of Bob Mould. Unfortunately, I'm not normal. I had a weird compulsion that I SHOULD like Bob Mould. I decided to return to Sugar and bought File Under Easy Listening out of a bargain bid. The fact I bought it from a bargain bid should surprise no one since every used CD store has at least five copies of F.U.E.L. in stock at all times. I'm not sure why though, because it's a very good album. When the reissue came out, I decided to give Husker Du another chance and bought Warehouse: Songs And Stories. It was fantastic. Then I looked up Husker Du on You Tube and found an awesome cover they did of The Mary Tyler Moore Show theme, "Love Is All Around". All of a sudden, it didn't bother me anymore that he was involved in WCW rasslin'. Not that there's anything wrong with wrestling; I just don't get guys practicing their special moves on each other and giving each other "shockers". It's probably just me. Peace.

The Clean: Vehicle
In one of my early posts, "Flying Nun: The Label, Not The Show", I openly begged for someone to distribute the Flying Nun catalog. Shortly after that, I was thrilled to read that Captured Tracks would be reissuing Flying Nun albums. Finally I'd be able to get my hands on The Clean, The Chills, The Verlaines and Toy Love. Sadly, Captured Tracks' distribution is only slightly better than Flying Nun. I hadn't been able to find any of the reissues in a record store and was resigning myself to the idea that I'd have to order them from the interwebs. Then Mike told me he saw The Clean's Vehicle at Square Records. Yay! So I high-tailed it over there before work yesterday and picked it up. I've been listening to it all morning and it really hits the spot.
The record comes in a gatefold jacket and includes the live EP, In-A-Live-Situation. Inside the fold, the members of The Clean (David Kilgour, Hamish Kilgour and Robert Scott) penned their individual recollections of the Vehicle Era. In 1989, they had reformed for a tour of Australia, New Zealand, the US and Europe. The live EP was a results of this tour. It features performances of classic material, but they also played new songs during these shows. They were convinced to go into the studio in 1990 to record these new songs, which resulted in Vehicle. The songs were already worked out, so it only took three days to record. Actually, one to record, one to overdub and one to mix it. Alan Moulder was supposed to produce it, but he didn't get there until the third day and only worked on a couple tracks.
Usually, I'm the guy who likes a bands early output more than their later albums. In the case of The Clean, Vehicle is actually my favorite period. It's straight-up, tight, guitar pop. That's not to say I don't like their older material. The live EP is fantastic as well. It's very raw and up-tempo. I was thrown off a bit though because Vehicle is played at 33 1/3 and the live EP is 45 rpm. Vehicle features several standout tracks like "I Wait Around", "Bye Bye", "Some One", "Diamond Shine" and "Getting To You". These would all become part of The Clean's classic canon. I already owned The Clean Anthology and seven of these songs were included on it. I may actually force my kids to listen to The Clean now, rather than hoping they'll read this someday and check them out. Gun to my head, The Clean are probably the greatest of the Flying Nun bands. It's hard to top a group with David Kilgour AND Robert Scott of The Bats. Peace.

Is It...Man or Astro-Man?
When I was compiling my shopping list for Jerry's Records I wrote down surf rock. I love surf guitar, but only have a superficial knowledge of surf bands and albums. Unfortunately, Jerry's had very few surf albums. However, while researching surf albums people kept referencing a band I'd never heard of, Man or Astro-Man. I assumed they were a weird band from the 60's, but it turns out they are a weird band that started in the 90's. I went on You Tube to see what they were about. Man or Astro-Man can best be described as Space-Age Surf rock. They wear jumpsuits and goggles and sample old science fiction movie clips in their songs. It was right in my wheelhouse; music for people who love MST3K. I bought the first album, Is It...Man or Astro-Man, on CD. It features song titles such as, "Invasion of the Dragonmen", "Sadie Hawkins Atom Bomb", "Escape Through the Air Vent" and my favorite "Eric Estrotica". The band credits are as follows:
Star Crunch- guitar, laserguns, Q-tips and rare obligatory vocals
Dr. Delecto & His Invisible Vaportron- bass, sterilized rhythm guitar, malpractice suits and the two step
Coco, The Electronic Monkey Wizard- alternate universe bass, percussion, banana consumption, sound bites of lower primate love, hand-held viewmaster, VCR ignition, bunny control, foreign language count-offs,and yelps of intense pain given to him, sometimes as punishment,
Birdstuff- hi-hat
I can see where some might find this contrived and obnoxious, but I think it's fun. And the music is a high-speed joyride. I highly recommend this CD to my kids. I also bought MOAM's latest, DEFCON 5,4,3,2,1, on vinyl. The playing is good, but they have done away with the Space-Age kitsch; therefore the fun. The songs are more conventional rock songs and many of them have lyrics and vocals. I understand that they probably don't want to keep doing the same thing for twenty years, but I prefer their first album. I plan on checking out their other releases as soon as I can track them down. From what I could tell from You Tube, their other albums seem to be similar to their first. And the album cover for Destroy All Astro-Men!! is awesome.
It continues to amaze me how much music I missed out on in the 90's. Not to say I didn't enjoy Gin Blossoms, Better Than Ezra, Oasis and Smashing Pumpkins, but wow. It has been a fun ten years playing catch up though. Peace.

Elvis Presley
I'm always struck by a couple things when I visit the Elvis exhibit at the Rock Hall. First, his purple Lincoln is exquisite. I would love to spend a day tooling around town in that ride. Second, it's funny that his personal jukebox only has Elvis records in it. In fairness, I don't know if that was his doing or the Rock Hall's. The third thing has to do with people's perceptions about Elvis. There are two commonly accepted phases of Elvis' life; skinny Elvis and "fat" Elvis. I was as guilty as anyone else in this regard. "I love skinny, Jailhouse Rock Elvis, but I hate fat, In The Ghetto, La Vegas Elvis", I'd say. However, part of the exhibit is one of his "fat" Elvis jumpsuits. It's tiny. I would guess that about 90% of adult males roaming the Earth today, stuffing their pie holes with Big Macs and doughnuts, couldn't fit into that outfit. I know I couldn't. The other day, during their pledge drive, a local PBS station aired Elvis' Hawaiian concert. My wife randomly commented, "He wasn't fat". And he wasn't.
I've mentioned before that my parents were Elvis fans who didn't like The Beatles. Therefore, I grew up watching Elvis movies, especially Blue Hawaii. Back before cable TV and VCR's there were no movie channels or video rentals. So, I would see these movies periodically when a local station ran an Elvis marathon on a Saturday. They always played Blue Hawaii. As a kid, Elvis' movies were fun. I'd fantasize about living in Hawaii and singing to girls. As I grew older, I realized that the movies were just a vehicle for other people to make money off of Elvis. I began to write off Elvis as a sell-out. To this day, I really only like his songs from the 50's, before he was drafted. That stuff is amazing.
I don't have much Elvis in my collection. I inherited some LP's and 45's, but they aren't in great shape. Even at the record store, the used Elvis is usually pretty jacked up. I think the problem is most people who bought Elvis records back then were teenage girls. So, they drew hearts all over the covers, then their brothers would come along and draw on Elvis' face. And they didn't take very good care of the actual record either. I recently bought a CD box set of his output from the 50's and it's very good. The main reason I bought it was it had the song "Baby I Don't Care", which is one of my favorite Elvis songs, but it's hard to find on any of his albums. I would recommend it to my kids as a good introduction to Elvis. If they are interested in his releases from the 60's and 70's they are on their own. Anyhow, I thought I'd do a list of my favorite Elvis movies. Maybe I'll check at work and see if we sell any of them. It's been awhile. Peace.
1) Jailhouse Rock
2) Blue Hawaii
3) King Creole
4) Wild In The Country
5) Follow That Dream

Pilgrimage To Jerry's Records
Saturday I took my first trip to Jerry's Records in Pittsburgh. My friends Mike and Dave invited me to go with them and it was a great time. To illustrate the extent of my geekiness, I actually prepared for the pilgrimage by watching store tours and interviews with Jerry on You Tube. I even made a list of records to look for in case I became overwhelmed. Jerry actually picked on us about coming from Cleveland, because there aren't any good record stores in Cleveland. It was great. By the way, Dave is opening a record store in Wooster called Lucky Records, so there will be at least one good one in the greater Cleveland area.
The cool thing about Jerry is that he will buy any record to keep it from ending up in a dumpster. The sheer volume of records at Jerry's is amazing. He has records stack everywhere, including the restroom. However, once you get the hang of the store layout it's not difficult to find what you're looking for. He must have had a thousand cardboard storage boxes, on shelves, full of 45's. That was probably the most daunting spectacle in the store. I did manage to dig out a few 45's that were on my list (and some that weren't), but I focused on LP's for the most part. All three of us had a pretty good haul. I spent $75 and got 19 records. I can't wait to go to Jerry's again. Here's the breakdown of what I added to my collection. Peace.
* Split Enz- Time and Tide: Got this for my wife, because she loves the Finn Brothers.
* U2- Unforgettable Fire: I only had this on cassette and I lost all my cassettes in our basement flood.
* David Bowie- Diamond Dogs: The only thing from my favorite Bowie period that I didn't have.
* The Kingbees: I've been looking for this forever because I love the song "My Mistake".
* Miles Davis- Water Babies: Great album from the second quintet.
* Adam and the Ants- Kings of the Wild Frontier: "Ant Music", nuff said.
* Bill Evans Trio- Portrait in Jazz: Legendary jazz pianist.
* Eddie Cochran and Gene Vincent- Their Finest Years: Guitar innovator's and rockabilly pioneers.
* Yes- Fragile: I'm collecting Roger Dean album covers.
* Yes- Relayer: See above, plus Geddy and Alex always cite this album as an influence.
* Dancing Hoods- Hallelujah Anyway: This is one of Mark Linkous' old bands, before Sparklehorse. I've been looking for Dancing Hoods albums for a few years and this is the first time I've ever seen one in a store. I don't know who was more excited about me getting this album, me or Dave.
* Commander Cody- Hot Rod Lincoln 7": My dad loved this song and he did this crazy dance every time he heard it. And it's a great song.
* Jerry Reed- East Bound and Down 7": Love Smoky and the Bandit and this song. My wife doesn't understand.
* Frida- I Know There's Something Going On 7": Everyone loves this song!
* R.E.M.- E-Bow The Letter 7": I was hoping for "Driver 8", but this is a great song.
* Gem- Sheep 7": Doug Gillard's old band.
* Gem- Suburban Girl 7": See above.
* Beatles- Help/I'm Down 7": For my son's collection.
* Beatles- Got To Get You Into My Life/Helter Skelter 7": For my son's collection. This was the first Beatles record I bought, but it was lost somewhere in the sands of time.

Best Songs By Former Beatles
When I was trying to come up with ideas for Sound Mind's 100th post one idea had been to list the 100 best songs by former Beatles. Piece of cake. However, when I actually sat down to do it I was hard pressed to compile 60. Had I spent several days listening to all their deep cuts I probably could have found 100, but that would have been too much like work. For some reason, my obsession with the Fab Four has not extended to their post-Beatles music. When I was younger, John Lennon was my favorite Beatle. In college, I had to write an essay about the person who I most admired and I chose John Lennon. As of this writing, I own none of his studio albums. I had Double Fantasy on cassette when it came out, but it was eaten by my tape player (by the way, I lost all my cassettes in our recent basement flood). All I have is the Lennon Legend collection. I don't own any Ringo at all. Technically, all of our George Harrison albums are my wife's, not mine. And most of my McCartney is Wings. The funny thing about Paul is I bought that McCartney Years DVD box set and I had never seen most of those videos or even heard those songs. That's almost unbelievable, because I spent most of the 80's watching MTV. It's also interesting that even though Lennon and McCartney are the greatest songwriters of the 20th Century, they are responsible for two of the worst Christmas songs of all-time. At any rate, after going through the exercise of trying to come up with 100 songs I realized that John, Paul, George and especially Ringo have recorded hundreds of songs that I've never heard. I feel like I've been negligent and intend to make amends. It's actually an exciting prospect to really dig into their entire catalogs.
For my "Best Songs By Former Beatles" list, I decided to go with the Top 20, with a few comments as I go. I have to mention up front that I screwed over George a bit. I didn't include "Got My Mind Set On You" because it's a cover and "Handle With Care" because it ended up being a Traveling Wilbury's song. However, they are great songs.
1) What is Life- I decided to make this #1 because All Things Must Pass is the best post-Beatles album and it's always been one of my favorite songs.
2) Maybe I'm Amazed- Brilliant song that arguably is #1.
3) Working Class Hero- Angry Lennon at his best.
4) All Things Must Pass- This will be played at my funeral.
5) Jealous Guy
6) Jet
7) It Don't Come Easy- Great song and I had to get Ringo in the Top 10.
8) Band On The Run
9) Venus and Mars / Rock Show- "In my green metal suit I'm preparing to shoot up the city". Classic!
10) Junior's Farm- I know it's not a "great" song, but I love it.
11) Photograph- Ringo and George!
12) Blow Away
13) Nobody Told Me- "most peculiar mama, whoa". One of my favorite lines just because it's goofy.
14) When We Was Fab- Great song and video.
15) Instant Karma
16) Take It Away
17) Helen Wheels- Awesome jam and clever word play.
18) Live And Let Die
19) Mrs. Vandebilt
20) Uncle Albert / Admiral Halsey- I'm counting this as one song like Venus and Mars / Rock Show. It probably should have been higher on the list, but it's in the Top 20. I love the part where Paul says "Butter Pie". Then Linda incredulously asks "Butter Pie?" Then Paul replies "The butter wouldn't melt, so I put it in the pie." Nothing brilliant, just goofy fun. It's the only time I welcome the involvement of one of their wives in their music. That's the great thing about George and Ringo; they kept their spouses out of their music.
Honorable Mention: Magneto and Titanium Man, Nineteen Hundred and Eighty Five, Silly Love Songs, Too Many People, Young Boy, #9 Dream, Whatever Gets You Through The Night, Watching The Wheels, My Sweet Lord, All Those Years Ago, Beware Of Darkness, Ballad Of Sir Frankie Crisp, Wah-Wah.
Obviously, I recommend these songs to my kids and I hope they explore the Beatles' solo albums as well. Peace.
