see a little light

Merlin on Bob Mould’s See a Little Light

It’s probably hard for ex post facto Hüsker fans to realize how abrupt this departure seemed. Great, light/dark record. In retrospect, B’s late 80s/early 90s stuff sounds like a catepillar crawling out of a bottle into a room full of other realtively recent butterflies.

Yes, but I’m sure it wasn’t really that song that did it, since it was the fourth track on the record. I’m sure the initial shock came with Sunspots, track one, which is pretty damn far away from Bed of Nails

Blogs are good for picking nits.
