“The sweat pouring off of fat Bob Mould’s body, as he played enough guitar for two people on his Flying V, was one of Indie’s most romantic sights; every time a drop hit Earth, some band like Superchunk or Soul Asylum sprang into existence.”  No truer words were ever spoken about Mould and his legendary Minneapolis trio.  This episode we get into their massive influence, impeccable legacy and pit their two most classic LPs against each other.   Recommended Listening   Land Speed Record   https://open.spotify.com/album/0R7CaOFFuPynpABahVNaMs?si=t_YkAWTsQGqe4ghuNGXWJQ   Diane https://open.spotify.com/track/2s68MtSLUsP0xip7WuIDoS?si=GT7FHL08TT2MYd_gVa2OAg   Eight Miles High  https://open.spotify.com/track/2LXPIpt45CJ2dorhMNCE0F?si=84eqZ15VRCWIXymXiS9lLA   Sugar Cooper Blue https://open.spotify.com/album/2MJGuraShzoUqqonCup43C?si=3_pKCrWiRpy7ikdvd2k6XQ   HHP EP33 1/3: Minutemen Double Nickels on the Dime https://open.spotify.com/episode/1xsMXnwHo9AKgLN80wNbDA?si=4yS8cZ1XSqSJQcDJuIriww   Book Spin:  Alternative Record Guide https://www.amazon.com/Spin-Alternative-Record-Guide-Weisbard/dp/0679755748   ——   huntsmanhill.com
