Plenty of virtual ink has been spilled about Superchunk’s first album in almost a decade. DeRo reviewed it,  Hit It Or Quit It talked with Mac and Jessica Hopper wondered what it means to take a victory lap without selling out. Their drummer Jon Wurster even did the Wikipedia Files.

I don’t have much to add to that chorus except to say that Superchunk were one of the first bands that made me care about music. I distinctly remember buying one of my first CDs and hearing an acoustic version of “Throwing Things” on it. That song sounded like classic rock from a parallel universe to me 17 years ago. Now I guess it just qualifies as classic rock.

Enjoy!
