Help Ma Boab!

Bob's solo gig at the Bush Hall on Monday night just pipped the full-band gig of a few months back, for my money. There was less Sugar material, more of the earlier solo stuff and quite a bit of Hüsker Dü, but it was less physically pummeling and a more laid back affair. Highlights for me were Your Favorite Thing (not previously on my list of best Sugar songs), a sodding amazing version of Egoveride (didn't think that would work without drums. I was very wrong) and the four bars of Foo Fighters' Learn To Fly played archly between a couple of songs that may well have influenced it. Oh, and the between-song anti-Babyshambles banter was fun too!

No more Bob posting for a long while now, I promise. For those bored by the above post, here is an entertaining photo...
