I am a huge Bob Mould fan. From Husker Du and Sugar through his solo work. His first solo album, Workbook, is one of my all time favorites. It’s filled with great songs. Here’s a taste of “Wishing Well.”
Wishing well runs wet and dry
I wish for things I never had
Surrounds and wells up in my eyes
The screaming voice, it lies
Wishing well gets someone’s attention
Every wish you ever had
In a day of nights, in the darkest of light
Sits and cries, watch the liesCould you give me a wish if I tell you what I want?
Will the price be no object?
I wish for dreams of light
I live for wishing well surprise
Here are the full lyrics, the song, and the song live solo and with a band (the sound quality on the latter is quite mixed).

“workbook” is one of the great, under-appreciated albums of all time; nice choice

Best concert ever: Bob Mould, Workbook tour, Peabody’s Down Under Cleveland. At the end of the show, Bob set his guitar in front of an amp and started an ear piercing feedback loop. I was standing at the front of the stage and was in pain from the sound coming from the stage monitors. So, I reached up and unplugged his guitar effects boxes. I still have Tony Maimone’s (sp?) setlist from that show.
My wife and I are (quite inadvertently) included in a picture on the inside of the LiveDog98 CD.
