After briefly checking out the club music scene, influential post-punk rocker Bob Mould comes back to guitar-driven power pop with his new album Body of Song. Mould has enjoyed a wide-ranging career that includes founding the seminal 1980s Minneapolis punk band Hüsker Dü, and later heading such projects as the band Sugar, a DJ project called BlowOff, and finding time to start his own blog. He joins us today with a live performance. Also on the show: The Beach Boys' Pet Sounds is one of the most celebrated, written about, poured over and analyzed pop albums ever. In his new book on the album, author and Wall Street Journal rock critic Jim Fusilli focuses on the emotional elements of the album. He joins us in studio to discuss that and more.
