C/D, S/D: Superchunk

Maybe they finally got good (keep in mind the last time I saw them a year and a half ago I was reminded about how boring I always found them...).

I guess that's a good example of how opinion on Superchunk is divided. Personally I'm rather fond of their robust sound, and I still rate "Indoor Living" as a minor classic. I've met Laura Ballance before and thought she was a real sweetie.

but it seems to be on its way.

How was the pool show? Mookie?????

they were great.

yeah!!!!!!

yeah, they were OK. That I haven't played their records in 10-12 years probably helped.

Seed Toss was good. Slack MF. Tie a Rope to the Back of the Bus.

but there was about a 5-song stretch where I didn't recognize one song ...

whatever, they're fun.

i LOVED driveway to driveway:

"sick to move," bros

i yelled dr. morbs' name at him but i guess he's deef or somethin'.

Tie a Rope to the Back of the Bus

!!!!

scott they opened with "driveway to driveway"

there were a lot of people out there. more than I figured. that TV on the Radio free show in July is gonna be massive.

"rsvp"

without starting any fights, i always thought that "first part" and other superchunk songs were the great pop sonic youth songs that sonic youth were incapable of writing.

i really don't want to fight though. okay, sonic youth fans? this is ile. in fact i am going to step away from the computer.

no, scott that seems very OTM

there are some pretty superchunky songs on rather ripped

and to flip it jams run free is the awesome noisy/poppy slow jam that superchunk could never write.

it was good! couldn't hear mac's guitar very well, but the vocals were prominent enough that i now know what the laughter guns are.

i think i might have seen hstencil?

jams run free at sonic youth's show at the pool was my top concert moment of 2006

perfect collision of weather / friends / beer / musical radness

xpost

i don't even know who you are, mookieproof.

few do

mookie had a big hit back in 86

jams run free at sonic youth's show at the pool was my top concert moment of 2006

that TV on the Radio free show in July is gonna be massive

and (along with the daydream nation show) on the average-hottest weekend of the year

Oh, I'm sorry. As the drummer, I thought that was my job to count the songs off. But if that's something you want to do, whatever.

hands up who booed marty markowitz?

hahaha

"Up next -- Soo Pah Chunk!"

yoo want her indiebasslove

my love for this band is as pure as the driven snow, scott

God Bless the 'Chunk.

They're an undeniable classic! The soundtrack to some of the best times of my life. A bunch of good kids who didn't just take the money and run.

I once saw them play at Lee's Palace (Toronto)on Halloween 1999 - it was Jon Wurster's birthday, and I got to meet all of them (except for Mac). They were all lovely and down-to-earth, and even signed my copy of "Incidental Music".

The next morning some friends and I went for brunch, and the restaurant staff (at the Green Room) played "No Pocky For Kitty" from start to finish. Rarely have I enjoyed a meal more.

They've got a reasonable following in Japan as well - or they did as of 5 years ago.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

That should change later this year when the quartet is expected to release a new and still-untitled album through Merge Records, a label formed by singer/guitarist Mac McCaughan and bassist Laura Ballance 21 years ago.
