Tis the Season Vol. 2 Song 3 - Sugar - Hoover Dam (1992)



Anyone who pays attention, (meaning Gulfboot and the Kid), knows that i'm a big fan of Husker Du, and just this morning while perusing the interweb and fucking off at work i stumbled upon this lost classic from Bob Mould's second band, well lost to me at least cuz i haven't listened to it in awhile, but i remember when this came out and my roommates and i would sit in our apartment above the clothing shop that overlooked Main St. at Podunk U., and we'd be pulling tubes and drinking left over 40's from the night before, classes would be over and we'd be plotting our night and between the fluorescent yellow of the lamp and the perpetual gray of the outside world and we'd play this record over and over cuz it was fucking brilliant, i used to sit in the corner of the kitchen and gaze out to the window at the traffic light and the drug store across the street spinning imaginary stories in my head and watching the cars crawl by and the people cross the street and sometimes the snow would be falling or it'd be raining and i'd be high and drinking day old beer and it was all fucking beautiful...

I looove Husker Du and therefore, Bob Mould, but I do NOT love day old beer. Pretty sure I've had some, though. :)

Sybil- you know we'd go around at the end of the night and cap the half drank ones real tight and then put them in the fridge, 40's of Olde English are actually better the second day, it ages like fine wine.
