Superchunk Albums From Worst To Best

Almost everybody likes Superchunk, and they have their share of ardent superfans, but with regard to their estimable catalog, it feels in some ways that they have been underappreciated.

Is it just me or does it feel as if the folks at Fun Fun Fun Fest put together a festival that is catering to my own wants and desires?

"The DeLuna Stage was set up on the beach, facing away from the Pensacola pier that stretches into the Gulf of Mexico. On the opposite side of the beach looking back was actually the Heritage Stage, a stage filled with the sounds of New Orleans jazz music. The quarters weren't as sprawling as Hangout [Festival in Alabama], but the Windcreek Stage location, in the adjacent parking lot, made for a much easier human traffic flow between the two primary stages. That concrete often kept the festival from feeling like it was intended, but its proximity also kept fans from missing anything from the weekend's largest acts. Then, the setup allowed for unrestricted access to the ocean. So, you give and you take.

While it may not have actually hit triple digits on Saturday (7/7), in the easy-bake oven of asphalt, concrete and steel that is Times Square, it felt like 110 -- especially at 1PM when I arrived there for CBGB Festival's all-day free show.

The "This Summer"/"Cruel Summer" 7-inch is the latest offering from classy '90s survivors Superchunk, and while not up to the level of the band's finest work, that really doesn't seem to be its intention.

superchunk “this summer”

well, looks like i, and probably most of you, missed the boat on this one. superchunk released a limited edition, 350 copies – via the merge store, 7″ yesterday for the song "this summer" with the b-side being a cover of bananarama's "cruel summer." you still may be able to find the 7″ at your local shop, but im guessing its going to be slim pickins. either way you can still grab the download via the merge site for 1.98 for mp3 or flac for 2.49.

I probably don't even need to say how cool it was to see Mac McCaughan — leader of indie rock legends Superchunk and Portastatic , co-founder of Merge Records — in the intimate setting of the Swedish American Hall. McCaughan definitely played to the audience and the setting.

The tale of Haywood 's sparkling and formerly final release We Are Amateurs, You And I -- which was issued 10 years ago today, a milestone somewhat overshadowed by some bullshit doo-dad called an "iPod" -- is so enmeshed with the Brooklyn-via-Philly quartet's demise it is hard to pull the two apart.
