Rainy a new Superchunk video to brighten my day! Glad to see the band I've loved for decades is still making great music.

Quite possibly the most perfect band ever. That said I don’t agree with their politics. Still I’m so happy to have worked with them on multiple occasions. They came through Cincinnati on their first tour and played at the now sadly gone Sudsy Malone’s. Truly dropped my jaw. Beyond amazing, a life changing experience. Simply stated this band made my life better. A total shout out to Guided by Voices and Archers of Loaf, both rocked my world and gladly I worked with both. My years spent doing sound for amazing bands, both local and touring is the highlight of my life. One last thing, somewhere I have a guitar pick that Mac from Superchunk signed for my daughter Samantha, it simply says Mac. Much love and let our differences be forgiven.

This is a great song, but I initially thought this was about the seminal 80s British synth-pop group.

The older they get the better they sound.

2020 and I feel like this song predicted the apocalypse.

[arleighhelfer]

I, for one, am glad to have recourse to tight, engaging tunes that let me feel a little less crazy in the era of creeping authoritarianism and conservative hypocrisy.

The Egrem Clinic. I see what you did there. ;-)

Only 584 likes? This video kinda explains why we don't interact with social media even when we love it. Youtube is the only place to go get free and cool content. Must like and subscribe mother f$@*ers!!

Hello chunkin' punk fans! Please take a minute to read my mostly-positive review of What A Time To Be Alive at Radical Beat Writing. Thanks :)

"What a Time to Be Alive has no time for ballads because when variety calls it dips the other way towards brevity. The two-word average and “on the tin” appearance of many of the titles in the tracklisting looks like an old hardcore one: super chunks you might say. Lost My Brain with its feedback intro and barely absent chorus, and Cloud of Hate’s no-nonsense dismissal are the most clear examples of this sugar-sprinkled hardcore sound, but the pacy Reagan Youth spells out the intention before you even listen to the record. “Reagan Youth taught you how to feel/Reagan Youth showed you what was real/But to tell the truth, there was more than one Reagan Youth” sings McCaughan. A touching placeholder for the Dave Rubinstein tribute album that Paul Cripple has been promising for years, perhaps Superchunk are saying we’re all still children of that defining time, with current dunderheads created via the inbred lovechild of microwaved Reagan-era social conservatism and dissatisfaction with the poverty-breeding “globalist” policies of nonstop neoliberalism.

Here we feel the same with Bolsonaro a.k.a. Borsolino.

So liberal musicians don't like Trump? What a surprise. Someone's trying to impress their yoga instructor I guess.

[robertstaerker]

Too cool that they are all Trump fans...everyone should get their Trump fix on!!! Woo hoo!!!

[Mike_Greentea]

Old dudes trying to be cool! Give me a break!
