Man, how I ache for the MTV of the past.

Thanks for posting this! I was way too young to have seen it when it originally aired. Bob Mould is the best and Matt Pinfield is an incredible interviewer.

1:49 - 'Can't Fight It' is how I discovered BOB MOULD in my pre-teen days. Then later post HS I discovered HÜSKER DÜ and realized that he was a part of that band. Love "Metal Circus", "Everything Falls Apart" and "Zen Arcade"!!!

I know it's been 20 years since this interview, but fuck me, he looks so fucking different here.

Love The Hubcap Album!

Mr. Mould is the Elder Statesman of Inde Rock... been following and listening to Bod since his Workbook album... Sugar was great! Love Silver Age...

Pinfield was capable of a good interview. He was such a fan, and it made-up for any awkwardness

I watched this when it aired and bought the self titled album the next day. I was already a Husker Du fan but that album sealed it for me.

Pinfield is looking at notes on the floor. I swear.

And hey, Hayden "As Bad As They Seem" is a great song!

caught the dog and pony show reference. saw him tour the hubcap album after this vid was made. had seen Sugar with the Fuel album before this...

My adolescence was carved by Hüsker Dü and I love a lot of stuff Mr.Hart and Mr. Mould have done since. Here I get the impression that Bob Mould is a bit passive-aggressive, like whining. A stance he can put to high artistic value for sure. Everything I have seen and heard about Grant Hart (RIP) yet strikes me as love.

Is this a remake of Chris Farley interviewing Paul McCartney?

It's really funny, because that modern, alternative sound he talks about being obscure in the post punk era, now has gone back into obscurity again. haha

Random thoughts: Does he really consider "Whichever Way the Wind Blows" to be more delicate? That song is primal. Mould's speaking voice isn't even remotely like his singing voice. A beard can make all the difference between looking like an accountant and looking like a singer-songwriter. But then, I think, looking like an accountant could be cool if you're spewing barely controlled rage at 120 decibels.

Wow, Uncle Fester knows his indie history! :p

But fuck me if egooveride isn't one my absolute favourite songs by anyone ever :)

(Despite the video haha!)
