Interesting news from this Grant Hart interview (he is releasing a double album based on Paradise Lost, and Bob Mould is re-uniting with Sugar):

Wasn't Mould at SXSW the same time you were?
Yeah. I didn't run into him, though. I thought that would be nice. What would happen though is if, say, he came to my show or I came to his show, the most-watched person in the room would be the person that's not on stage. Bob's got some hurt to put behind him yet. I think the world of the guy, but he doesn't even want to talk about the pain that I've been able to work out by talking to other people and if I sincerely wounded him, you know, I'd like that put that right. This is supposed to be the part of a person's life where they start thinking about how they've lived their life, who they've touched and who they've affected.

Did you read any of Mould's book?
I ended up reading out of disbelief initially. I'd hear a report about something in it and I would [react] by saying "Oh, that's not what he said" or "I have to see what he phrased this around." To tell you the truth, I was really surprised [at what was in the book].

How so?
It really sounds like like it was written by the President of the Bob Mould Fan Club rather than by Bob Mould.

Let's say Bob called you up to discuss a Hüsker Dü reunion. What would your reaction be?
Provided everybody is on board, I would say," Let's go into the studio with some new material."
