District Line

T got me the new Bob Mould record (on vinyl, so yes I mean record) District Line as a present for my half-birthday yesterday. (note: only 181 shopping days until my birthday!) I've only listened to it once so far. It's sounding great. Reminds me of the Sugar days before Mould got so excited about electronic effects. I appreciate the fact that he wanted to explore new sounds but the electronics never seemed to be working in support of the songs. He was writing the same kinds of songs as before and then laying on the keyboard tracks. It was like cake with too much frosting. Is that a Patrikism? Anyway, on the new record Mould has the electronics working with the songs. It's sounding great. Here's a sample.
