Read the Husker Du book. I'm so glad a book finally came out about them. It's really good though it doesn't spend a lot of time on the Warehouse album and their last year as a band. There are some mistakes in it too, but overall, a great job. Mould was a control freak all along. The book started out as a 33 & 1/3 books on Flip Your Wig, but was rejected. I'm so glad about that. I'd much rather have this book.

Also Amazon says June 2011 for Mould autobiography.

I read the Bob Mould bio. It's good, but he really doesn't seem to want to mention Grant Hart or Greg Norton if he can help it. You don't see their names with any frequency until things start going wrong, i.e. The Warner years. It makes the book feel somewhat claustrophobic. While that is unfortunate, the book is really about how he went from a self-hating gay man to a self-accepting one. His last decade is really about that. It's a good read though very different in feel from the Husker bio. One interesting Husker fact I did not know, the ink blots on the cover of Everything Falls Apart represent the 12 songs on the album. There is also a very very interesting couple of pages about the last Husker meeting which happened after Hart quit.
