I can’t really review the new Superchunk 7-inch Digging for Something b/w February Punk as I do not have it. I don’t do vinyl. Don’t lynch me. I downloaded the free Digging for Something mp3, which means I have half of the musical contents of the album. It is upbeat and poppy, in a similar […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
As I kid I remember being flabbergasted at the fact that my father would almost exclusively listen to talk shows when in the car, as opposed to music. I just couldn’t see the appeal of listening to a bunch of boring people talk about boring things. I still don’t see the appeal (who would) and […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
When Frank Black started recording again as Black Francis it was an exciting concept. The Pixies had reunited for a few tours, and though rumours of a possible new album just continue to be rumours, work by Black Francis seemed to be one step closer to that possibility.

My wife was not happy with the amount of money I spent on this purpose built room full of the most advanced audio entertainment equipment (thanks N.A.S.A.!!) and the chair from the set of Dollhouse, but we always […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Reading this short and sweet interview with Laura Ballance of Superchunk you will find a few fun facts about classic albums No Pocky for Kitty and On The Mouth, which have recently been reissued. But the standout insight comes midway through the article: Do you have a favorite song on the album? Probably “Skip Steps […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I will explain it to them in more detail and they will ask Why? I will try to explain why and they will start to lose interest and wander away and I will snap at them and demand their attention.

The ultimate Superchunk fan creates the ultimate singles collection, named The Singles’ Singles.
I stumbled across a text file in one of my backups with some fun stuff in it. I used to maintain a web site in the 90′s dedicated to random things about music and it had a page of fun and interesting (according to me) snippets from various band interviews. I wish I had that […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
