Husker Du signs to Warner Bros., breaks up, and lives on in a new box set from the Numero Group in this jam-packed fifth episode. Featuring candid, funny, and insightful interviews with members Bob Mould, Greg Norton, and the late Grant Hart, Do You Remember's finale goes deep on the classics Candy Apple Grey and Warehouse: Songs and Stories, the band's  split, and the new early-years compendium 'Savage Young Du.'

Episode 5: Everything Falls Apart

The tension between Husker Du members Bob Mould, Grant Hart, and Greg Norton is beginning to show in the fourth of five episodes dedicated to the band's history -- but the music is too great to deny. This episode covers the SST years, in which the Huskers released a string of masterpieces, including the 1984 double album Zen Arcade.

Episode 4: Celebrated Summer

The third episode of this history of the Twin Cities punk rock greats finds Bob Mould, Grant Hart, and Greg Norton hitting the road, turning itself into America's fastest hardcore band, making its classic first recordings -- 1982's Land Speed Record and "In a Free Land" and 1983's Everything Falls Apart -- and making national waves. Featuring interviews with Jello Biafra (Dead Kennedys) and Henry Rollins (Black Flag).

Episode 3: Chartered Trips

The second in this intimate five-part history of the great Twin Cities band Husker Du follows Bob Mould, Grant Hart, and Greg Norton as they form a band and move from playing covers (as Buddy and the Returnables) to prolific songwriters, becoming a pillar of the Minneapolis-St. Paul punk community.

Episode 2: All Tensed Up

In the first of this illuminating five-part history of the great Twin Cities punks Husker Du, we meet the band before they became a band, following Grant Hart and Greg Norton as they grow up in St. Paul, and then encounter Bob Mould, a new kid at Macalester College with a Flying V guitar and a love for punk rock equal to theirs.

Episode 1: New Day Rising

Grant Hart

The world lost Grant Hart on September 13, 2017. He co-founded, wrote songs for, and drummed in the influential St. Paul trio Husker Du, inspiring legions of bands with his raw and poetic charm. Brian Oake hosts this special mini-episode with quotes from Lori Barbero, Greg Norton, Bob Mould and Grant Hart himself. Stay tuned for full episodes, coming soon.

Ep. 0.1: Remembering Grant Hart

Welcome to "Do You Remember?" a podcast about Hüsker Dü.

Ep. 0: Introduction

This documentary podcast explores Hüsker Dü’s formative years and legacy through rare exclusive interviews with the band, as well as those who were around in the beginning and notable artists who’ve drawn inspiration from the band. We’ll also dive into recordings from Numero Group’s new remastered box set of the band’s early releases, demos and live recordings. From The Current®.

I am a big fan of Husker Du and had the opportunity to see them live in the 80’s and subsequently saw Sugar and Bob Mould in his various bands since then.  I also just completed Bob Mould’s book.

This podcast was great, starting with the beginning of the band and going up to the present day.  It is linked with the release of a new catalog of old songs that were apparently only released when Grant Hart gave the go-ahead.

If you are interested in their music in any capacity I highly recommend listening to this podcast.

Great Podcast and Highly Recommended
