Bob Mould's homage (or parody? - I'm never quite sure anymore) to the Pixies. Of note is that I once lifted the phrase "Thick With Temptation" for the title of a high school writing assignment. My teacher loved it, and it helped contribute to my solid 77% graduating average. I suspect nowadays I would have been suspended for plagiarism, due to the internet.
Ahh, the passage of time.
Bob Mould ended up writing for World Championship Wrestling, which either tarnishes his alt legacy, or makes him ironically hipper (I'm never quite sure anymore, nor if 'hipper' is a viable word). Professional wrestling, unfortunately, is not immune from the same trends as the rest of the corporate world; WCW was absorbed by the WWF some years ago, creating a monopoly. Bob Mould lost his job, but yet sustains a prolific solo career in music (ie- the theme for The Daily Show). Even if no one really talks about it in the blogosphere... which automatically makes it somewhat more interesting. But then again, I'm seventy-six in internet years, and don't have a facebook, so what do I know? Gather around while I tell you the tale of Compuserve's hourly rates.
Bottom line is it's as solid a pop song as any The Pixies ever wrote (if a touch less eventful).
And, uhh, (they make me do this) buy Sugar's "Copper Blue" if you can...
