as much as the music he wrote / records he produced had a massive impact on shaping my rapid expansion of taste and aesthetics as a cranky teenager who processed their broken heart through mean-spirited sarcasm and an open delight in the dreads of a world both large and small, it was reading this essay in the very early 00s that really gave me some direction. i was a little over a year deep in my first "real" band. metal-adjacent music was starting to get some meager traction, so you had a lot of rocker-dude petri pillows coming at you with *land a major label record deal within the first 6 months of our existence* as their only goal... their sole barometer for success. this shit STILL persists in some corners of the underground. There's always at least one factory-recalled dildo who thinks they're the ONE; the one who will break through the glass ceilings, collect all them thar brass rings, and like Sonic the Hedgehog before them, get to the nExT lEvEl. you won't.

you can't.

accept that and just have fun being strange with your people.

Superchunk Live Show Review: 7/8, Square Roots, Chicago

BY JORDAN MAINZER

From the Czar Bar to the middle of Lincoln Square: Such is the story of Superchunk’s three-decade history in Chicago. Looking on at the crowd Saturday night at Square Roots, it was clear to Mac McCaughan that not many people knew what he was talking about when he mentioned the long-defunct venue. You know what, though? That’s Superchunk’s fault for attracting a new generation of fans. Since 2010, the band has released three great and one very good post-hiatus records. Saturday night, the crowd was perhaps expecting to hear more of their latest, 2022′s Wild Loneliness (Merge); instead, the set was practically two-thirds old material, including a few deep cuts, geared towards perhaps the very people at the Czar Bar in the early 90′s.

Superchunk’s brand of indie rock never went out of style. Even when baroque instrumentation pervaded the sound of the who’s who of independent music, there were always fans of power pop-bordering on-pop punk to be found, somewhere in between Cheap Trick and the Warped Tour. McCaughan and company’s earnestness never wore off. During the Aughts, the band simply wasn’t releasing music, but as soon as they did again, they returned right where they left off. All of this is to say it makes sense that Superchunk could attract a wide variety of listeners, versatility they showed off better than ever on Saturday. The gentler-than-usual lilt of What A Time To Be Alive’s “Black Thread” found a kindred spirit in the sway of “Driveway to Driveway”, while burner like On the Mouth’s “Precision Auto” mirrored the urgency of Majestry Shredding’s “Learned To Surf” and I Hate Music's shout-along anthem “Me & You & Jackie Mittoo”.

Meanwhile, the festival offered an opportunity for established bands like Superchunk to reflect on themselves and the others playing, how far all of them have come. During their set, McCaughan shouted out the stage’s previous occupants, local alt rock legends Eleventh Dream Day, as well as the Mekons’ Jon Langford and Sally Timms, who both joined Eleventh Dream Day and played a set of their own across the grounds earlier in the day. As for those who weren’t there, Superchunk dedicated No Pocky for Kitty’s “Seed Toss” to the late Rick Froberg, the Pitchfork/Drive Like Jehu/Hot Snakes lead vocalist who passed away late last month. They unexpectedly ended their set not with a no-brainer like “Slack Motherfucker” but their version of Lou Barlow’s oft-covered “Brand New Love” from their 1992 Tossing Seeds singles compilation. On Monday, I looked at the band’s setlist at Thalia Hall the following night to find there was not much crossover. For the uninitiated and the familiar, every Superchunk show is an invitation to dive in or rediscover something great that just happens to have been there the whole time.

Racist - Andrew Paul Woodworth

I bet you don't weigh more than a hundred pounds or so.

Aren't you the one they're talking about?

I bet you got that scar fighting in the squad car.

I heard you kicked the windows out.

So tell me if I am in your space,

'cause I'm not in love and not a racist.

I'd need to sell some things, and to get my teeth clean

but I know you'd be happy with me.

We'd love each other. We'd fight, but love each other.

Come get me, not to rescue me.

So tell me if I am in the way,

'cause I'm not a slut and not a racist,

and I gotta cut but I can't find it.

You're some kinda sweet like you are dyin'.

Maybe you'll keep dancing like you're killing things.

Maybe I'll keep staring at'cha nervously.

Maybe I'll control you 'til my fingers bleed,

thinking you could easily let go of me.

I don't care if you've been wrong on everything,

you can always thank me while you're blaming me.

So tell me if I am in your space,

'cause I'm not in love and not a racist,

and I gotta cut but I can't find it.

You're some kinda sweet like you are dyin'.
