Post-punk icon is planning to take the album on the road, last look at what is to become a retrospective period forms: the fall of last year, was celebrated with a tribute concert in Los Angeles that featured Dave Grohl, Ryan Adams and others, and published his autobiography " See a little light, "in 2011. But Mould also at work on new music. In the weeks before his show, Noise Pop, talked about the strength of "Blue copper," in 90th rebirth and the return of his "loud" guitar.

What do you think made that album in particular, stand the test of time?

Bob Mould: I do not know, is quite optimistic record, compared to some of the work that went in it and after it, so I think it stands out that ... During this time, I loved writing this record, I loved writing the record and I loved playing those songs as It's a bit easy for me. There is the early 90s thing that happens is beyond the control of all of us. And it was a good song writing. In my book I talk about the year preceding the recording and release of copper and Blue, as it seemed that things were queuing in person and in the world of music that set the stage for this record to be my biggest success.

What was the tribute concert in Los Angeles, like for you? The musicians all seemed very excited to be there.

I was quite speechless at the end of the night with everyone how great he played, and only the choices of songs. Especially Britt [Daniel of Spoon], taking on "JC Auto" with "Beaster" I was surprised that he did a good job with it. Ryan [Adams] "takes on the" Workbook "and" black metal "thing. You know, really, really great night. Personally, it's fun to listen to those records again. I've always been very forward-looking guy so it was interesting.

In these types of shows, anything can happen, it just felt really funny kind of party. Matt Pinfield did a great job [hosting]. I really wanted Matt out there, because she's encyclopedia of contemporary music and he's an old friend, he and I go way, way back. It was great to have him come and tie the whole show together. It was nice to have Margaret [Cho] there, she and I are friends, and she is very, very serious about their music. Dave [Grohl], of course. Where do I even start with this? [Laughter] Nicest guy in the world.

He was so energetic, even compared to any other - it was like a thunderbolt.

[Laughter] He was. He's a great guy, it was nice to get to know him over the last eighteen months. Our paths crossed briefly very, very briefly and superficially in the last 20 years and it was nice when we finally got in the room and talked about things. I think it showed on stage, what the chemistry is like.

Your current team is Jason and Jon Wurster Narducy. How to connect with them?

Well, Jason, I have known Jason for about 20 years. He was a fan of my stuff, and we met in Chicago in 1990 or '91 in the show solo. He brought me some music that I was working on. I just need to be friends and I really liked your work. Bass Player took place with me in 2005, "Body of Song" tour. With Jon Wurster, Jon came in and saved the place of the drummer on "District Line" tour in 2009. We had a drummer - a nice guy, but it was hard, it does not feel right and I think we all knew. Jon has just finished, I believe, a few dates, chamois and was available for collection in the western part of the coast on the road. He just like jumped on board and ran things for the sound check and it was amazing. Do not look. [Laughs] It's amazing player, very intuitive, very stable, very colorful. I know, a directory, the entire catalog from beginning to end. We go well together, spend time with each other, so it's pretty cool. It feels really great.

I go to work on a new solo album with them, is that true?

Yes, I did a lot of writing, we did some recordings and see where it goes. It is in the form and the steps now. I'm quite optimistic.

Playing the "Copper Blue" shows, you think it will go in this direction?

Well, that's a great record based off the new album. I played a lot of loud guitar recently so that he could be one direction that it may lean toward. Yes, yes! It's what we did for several years on the street.

Your work is influenced so many bands, as a tribute to the show presented. Are there any new groups you excited?

I heard the album Nothing's cloud a few nights ago, pretty cool, pretty good stuff. I have not heard the previous record, which I guess was more bedrooms record. This one is good, very seriously, you can hear in his voice. He heard the new Silversun Pickups, it was pretty cool. I like their first album a lot, I think we are at No. 3 now. F *** ed Up, I've been a fan for a long time and see them get all the attention on "David Comes to Life" is really great. No Age, who think that the world, they are really sweet guys and it was great to get to know them and observe their development. I was a big fan of Tame Impala, I really like this band Yuck.

You mentioned there is the early 90s revival going on. Have you ever thought that the era of back and be a part of pop culture again?

Yes, it was about time. Pop culture and music seem to go in cycles and I think the digital age has made things a little faster but a sort of deep early 90s, that is going on, as if he knew it was going to happen right now.

Rhiannon Giddens is expressive singer, as she is a violinist, bringing the bawdy humor to anyone's mother and mother's sensitivity to the title track.

The debut album by Philadelphia rapper duo Chidera "Chiddy" Anamege and DJ / producer Noah "Xaphoon Jones" Beresin radiates an infectious beats and witty rhymes.

Oscar Acceptance Speeches: best and worst

Providing a good Oscar acceptance speech is not easy. If, within one to prepare, it seems arrogant, as if he knew he would win all the time, and if you are not ready to be called names, you will almost certainly forget to thank your significant other or your director. Some Oscar winners suffer from a serious case of the sniffles and leave the audience doubts even said, while others go off on tangents that have nothing to do with movies in general.

Finally, although it mostly just comes down to having that special something that je ne sais quoi. And do not kid yourself, you either got it or not. Below we nailed five stars when they were called to the scene and five who did the right thing 'trousers in the movies' is not exactly the greatest charm the audience one night

Best

Cuba Gooding Jr., Best Supporting Actor, "Jerry Maguire" (1998)

Gooding referred to the adoption is basically an exercise in pure joy. The actor jumped on stage and warmly thanked almost everyone he ever met, from his mother and God, and gave "I Love You's" to "Maguire" will be playing Tom Cruise, director Cameron Crowe and everyone else who worked on the film. His genuine enthusiasm won the audience and earned him a standing ovation.

Halle Berry, Best Actress, "Monsters Ball" (2002)

History was made when Berry won the Oscar for best actress - she was the first African American woman to apply for the grand prize actress - and she was honored with a moment of emotional speech that "each dedicated to a nameless, faceless woman of color who now has a chance at night because the doors were opened. "She thanked the actors and actresses of color who came before her, and announced a while," so much bigger "than himself. Her speech was an exercise in humility and surprise - two things most Oscar acceptance speech use.

Jennifer Hudson, Best Supporting Actress for "Dreamgirls" (2007)

Hudson took home an Oscar for her very first appearance in the film and gave a simple speech of thanks, which was probably best known as a humble and genuinely surprised, she seemed to hear her name called. Although she was a favorite at all awards season this year, seemed to be shocked when George Clooney said that I'd won and he stammered and stumbled her way through her words, but he was sure to thank all those that need to be with "Dreamgirls" director Bill Condon and her team star to her family, friends, and Jennifer Holliday, who originated the role of Effie White on Broadway.

Tom Hanks, Best Actor, "Philadelphia" (1994)

Hank's Oscar acceptance speech might be the one who inspired the movie itself. His long speech was marked by some of the features do not always love - it certainly felt rehearsed - but the actor's gratitude seemed genuine when he thanked his school drama teacher, Rawley Farnsworth and former colleague, who he called "two of the best American gay men, two wonderful people. "There was only one problem: Farnsworth was still in the closet about his sexuality. Lip slip inspired 1997 film "In & Out," in which Kevin Kline plays a drama school teacher outed when his former student (played by Matt Dillon) wins an Oscar. In a nice turn of events, always beautiful Joan Cusack was nominated for an Oscar in the game is abandoned bride Kline in "In & Out".

Julia Roberts, Best Actress, "Erin Brockovich" (2001)

Then, easily the world's biggest female movie star, clearly upset and deeply happy Roberts gave gracious - and long - a speech that preceded wisely asked the orchestra director, whom she referred to as "stick man" to sit on his baton. She broke out in fits of laughter, and charmed the audience throughout its distinguished director Steven Soderbergh, and then boyfriend Benjamin Bratt and her co-stars and delivered what was perhaps the most gracious "thank you" never to other women, even for the best actress that year: Joan Allen, Juliette Binoche, Ellen Burstyn and Laura Linney.

Worst

Marlon Brando, Best Actor, "The Godfather Part" (1973)

There are lots of places for participants to make political statements, but the Oscars really is not one of them. Legend of film does not participate in the 1973 Oscars, and instead of well-posted American Indian rights activist "Sacheen Littlefeather" of the house of Marie Cruz, in his place with 15-page statement read at the stage when he won the prize - which he did. Academy Awards producer capture the scenes and threaten to physically remove her if she spoke for more than 60 seconds, so when Littlefeather took the stage to accept the award Brando's Oscar waved and gave off-the-cuff speech about the Wounded Knee incident.

The incident inspired the Academy to change its rules to not allow the attorney to accept the Oscar trophies.

Adrien Brody, Best Actor, "The Pianist" (2003)

Some loved Brody's enthusiastic speech, while others had a big problem with his behavior on stage. When the actor has attained the stage to accept his prize, the first thing he did was sweep Halle Berry in her arms and equipment clearly passionate kiss on the lips of actress topic. Although it seemed mostly harmless, and Berry was a good sport about the ordeal of many, it is wrong, when clearly did not have the permission before kissing her.

American Idol 'Announces the 14 Semifinalists

Heejun Han was one of the players who will move on to the current episode, 10 more will be announced on Thursday.

Sleep well, America. Heejun Han to go through.

Han, the greatest personality out on "American Idol" so far this season, was discovered in paragraph 22 February) episode on Wednesday as one of the 24 seminfinalists who make it through to the live episodes, which begin next week. From the final pool of 42, 14 semifinalists were revealed during the episode on Wednesday, the final 10 will be made public during a one-hour episode Thursday.

Representing for the ladies is Erika Van Pelt, Jen Hirsh, Haley Johnsen, Elise Testone, Chelsea Sorrell, Baylie Brown, Jessica Sanchez, and Brielle Von Hugel.

This is the "American Idol", but simple, "You did it!" is never quite dramatic enough. Instead, judges must drag their decisions, cruelly suggesting that the players have been cut and tells them everything short of "You'll never sing in this town again, baby" before waiting to beat, and then adding, "because the city has enough big for you, because it is through "

Consider the speech, Randy Jackson on Wednesday to Ledet. "You know, sometimes in life, you know, do these shows and do these things, and sometimes better singers did not really do it, because everything does not quite line up," Jackson told him. "You know, this is painful for us, you know what I mean?

Ledet responded to the news, singing, "Thank you, Jesus."

Similarly, when Jennifer Lopez said Van Pelt know that I'd do it for him, saying she framed it - deep breath - "You know, watching everyone in the last few days, we were just say some people just blew us away, but we had a lot of people who do not so amazing as we thought we were going to do, and unfortunately you are one of those people. Since we had an eye on you so much from the beginning, because the voice that comes out of this body, you know? And we all such fans and so yesterday was difficult, because we have to decide who we're going to take a chance on and who you want to say, "Maybe next time. '" Then the hammer fell, said: "We're going to take another chance on you, Erika." Well, at least it is more dramatic than simply sending a text message singers ", congratulations, u are!"

"Idol" also got rid of a few familiar faces during the episode on Wednesday, and this year's resident cowboy rider Richie law was one of the singers shown the door. Others who cut included the St. Louis DN Lauren Gray and a selection of players who have not received too much camera time, including Blaire Sieber, Naomi Gillies, Neco Starr, Clayton Farhat, River of St. James and Caleb Johnson. Most of them seemed to be the message delivered in a less severe manner than those who made it to the next round.

Thursday's episode is set to show the rest of this year's semifinalists, and also to discover the fate of Adam Brock, a man, a family whose fate hung in the balance during Wednesday's Cliffhanger ending.
