Bob Mould Autobiography cover unveiled

Consequence of Sound (via Slicing Up Eyeballs) has what looks to be the cover of the Bob Mould autobiography coming out this summer. The book is said to be titled "See a Little Light: The Trail of Rage and Melody" and CoS writes that the book should..."hit bookstore shelves everywhere on June 15th through Little, Brown and Company."

According to the blurb...
"the 288-page hardcover will reveal Mould’s “struggles with homosexuality, intimate relationships and drug and alcohol addiction,” according to the publisher. On the musical side, the book will trace Mould’s “early love of 1960s AM radio pop hits to the Ramones to the making of Hüsker Dü classics like ‘Makes No Sense At All’ and ‘Celebrated Summer,’” as well as his post-Hüskers solo career (from which the book gleans its title), his ’90s band Sugar and beyond — including detours into both electronic music and professional wrestling."

If this is indeed the cover, it's bit of a visual letdown, though this seems to fit Bob's no-frills, low-key style of late. I'm excited to read it, as I think Michael Azerrad's writing style really captures a time and place in rock and roll (See 'Come as You Are' and 'Our Band Could be Your Life: Scenes From the American Indie Underground, 1981-1991,'), and if if anyone can bring out the magic of Mould's musical styles, it's Azerrad.
