Episode 21: Bob Mould + Husker Du + Sugar
b'I\\u2019m thrilled to have noted author, Chopped champion and robe enthusiast Drew Magary join the pod. His most recent novel, Point B, is available in electronic and print form now. If you\\u2019d like to purchase a copy \\u2014 and I do recommend that! \\u2014 there are multiple ways to do so, but print versions can be found at Barnes & Noble here and at Amazon here. Most importantly, it was a joy to do this podcast with Drew, considering the brain hemorrhage, and subsequent coma, he suffered in late 2018. He eventually wrote a gripping, vital recollection of that incident, and so much more, for Deadspin in 2019. I can\\u2019t recommend it enough; the piece was so good, Magary\\u2019s next book will be centered around the near-death experience. This episode begins with some writing and book chat, then soon enough delves into Magary\\u2019s favorite artist: Bob Mould. He of H\\xfcsker D\\xfc and Sugar. Why is Mould\\u2019s work worth a deep dive? The reasons are many, led by his steadfast consistency at putting out heartfelt records that seem incapable of ever letting his fortified fan base down. And as usual, if we\\u2019re talking about an artist, we\\u2019re ranking the best records. That comes at the end of the podcast. Magary\\u2019s got a couple of curveballs in there, for sure.'
