Bob Mould
Robert Arthur "Bob" Mould (born October 16, 1960) is an American musician, principally known for his work as guitarist, vocalist and songwriter for alternative rock bands Hüsker Dü in the 1980s and Sugar in the 1990s.
Early years
Born in Malone, New York, Mould lived in several places, including the Minneapolis-St. Paul area where he then attended Macalester College. There, he formed Hüsker Dü in the late 1970s, with drummer/singer Grant Hart and bass guitarist Greg Norton.
Musical career
Hüsker Dü
Forming in 1979, Hüsker Dü first gained notice as a punk rock group with a series of recordings on the independent label SST Records. In 1986, they signed with a major record label (Warner Bros. Records), but found only modest commercial success. However, they were later often cited as one of the key influences on 1990s alternative rock, including bands such as Nirvana and the Pixies.
In the late 1980s, Hüsker Dü broke up acrimoniously amid members' drug abuse, personal problems, disputes over songwriting credits, musical direction, and the suicide of the band's manager, David Savoy. Mould and Grant Hart, the band's other songwriter and vocalist, still take occasional jabs at each other in the press, though the two briefly revisited their Hüsker Dü back catalog together at a 2004 benefit concert for an ailing friend, the late Karl Mueller of Soul Asylum.
Bob Mould (album)
Bob Mould (sometimes referred to as Hubcap) is the third solo album by former Hüsker Dü and Sugar guitarist and singer Bob Mould. It was recorded and mixed between September & November 1995 and released in April 1996. Mould played all of the instruments on the album himself, and the sleeve notes declare, "This one is for me." In the place of traditional band credits, the sleeve states, "Bob Mould is Bob Mould."
The song "Dog on Fire," which was chosen to be the theme song of The Daily Show, was originally written for this album.

Angels Rearrange
by: Bob MouldA pretty penny buys you lots of things
A wooden nickel's worth of diamond rings
Good ideas, dozen for a dime
And quarter notes are all lined up in time
We're sitting somewhere frightened
Right between that and excited
Angels are rearranging
I never thought that we would fall apart
But the weather came and withered up your heart
We're sitting somewhere frightened
Right between that and excited
Angels are rearranging
I never ever thought that we would fall apart
And though we tried
All the good times passed us by
And left us standing in the middle
Of a place we've never been
And if we die
Angels falling from the sky, singing
Don't be scared of change
