Bob Mould on Popcast

Tooting own horn dept.:

We’ve had some wonderful guests lately on Popcast, the Times’s weekly music podcast: Eleni Mandell, Bishop Allen and Krishna Das each came in to perform a song, and, in a neat studio-to-studio linkup with London, Psapp demonstrated some of their kooky instruments, like the “bone-a-phone.” (Archived links, below right on this page.)

But this week we are spoiled by the presence of mighty Bob Mould, who sat for a candid interview and performed his new song “I’m Sorry, Baby, But You Can’t Stand in My Light Anymore,” which he calls one of his best in 15 years.

Listen to it here (this week’s show also includes Jon Pareles reviewing the Yeah Yeah Yeahs), and subscribe to Popcast here. (I will also review Mould’s new album, Life and Times, next week on the WFUV Music Review.)
