Waxahatchee, Bob Mould

I Did Some Reviews and Met One of My Idols

I put a couple of reviews up at Speak Into My Good Eye this week.

First, I listened to the new album from Waxahatchee, Cerulean Salt, via the stream currently available over at NPR.  I loved the record almost as much as I loved American Weekend, and I'm really enjoying Waxahatchee's new, full-band sound.

Second, I attended the first night of Bob Mould's two-night run at New York City's Bowery Ballroom and wrote a review.  What I didn't mention in that review was that I had a chance to meet Mould and the rest of the band after the show, which was a real thrill for me.  After playing a long and animated set, Mould, Jon Wurster, and Jason Narducy couldn't possibly have been more gracious and friendly.  It was a great end to a fantastic evening.

Go check those out if you're interested.

Bob Mould and the band are doing another show at Bowery Ballroom tonight, and then they'll be appearing on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon tomorrow before taking their tour Down Under.

Here they are performing Silver Age single, "The Descent," live on WFUV last year.
