Covers # 99 Bob Mould


And to top off that review and underline the point made in it that much of the record sees Mould digging through and re-casting his memories, here as Sunshine Rock's second to last track, a frazzled reconstruction of Shocking Pink's Send Me a Postcard, which was wonderful enough to begin with. Mould invented this particular trick of course with Husker Du's early calling card, their version of The Byrds Eight Miles High, which was positively messianic. Here he arrives full circle.
