pronounced Hoo-sker Doo : the archive
Any pieces relating to either Sugar or Nova Mob will be found in the Bob Mould or Grant Hart sections respectively; sometimes the line between a solo interview and a band one is pretty grey...
If anyone has any copyright issues, please mail me. I'm only presenting this material here because I believe it would otherwise be
unavailable. Thanks.
Any typos/spelling mistakes are as in the original piece. Relevant images ∓ headings included, though the original layouts haven't been preserved (so little time...) Some of the images are
pretty big.
And, yeah, Vic Chesnutt was never in the band but he's a mate of Bobs...
