Never expected a reply, never got one, don't care.  They were the core DNA of countless mix-tapes I made. I caught them live in Providence and New London. Got my nose busted slam-dancing at their show in a disused asbestos-removal training facility in industrial Philadelphia. I kept up with Mould through his solo / Sugar / later-solo phases. And I have to say, the sound still galvanizes my day every single time I play it. Can't wait to see this film. signed,pathetic drooling fanboy I never write mash notes.

As for Husker, well, I have borrowed them for my usernames on many of the interwebs. I'm reading Mould's memoir right now. LOL, Styx was sadly my first ever concert as well.
