Thanks for being the musical highlight of a kick-ass 2010. "Everything at Once", and so many others, took me back to the mid-90's again in all the best ways, feelings and excitement and energy I never anticipated experiencing again....
Happy Holidays to you & your family.
Couldn't agree more with Dan the previous poster on his sentiments. Speaking of "Everything at Once," if I had to condense everything I love about Superchunk and music into about 45 seconds (minus the lead guitar work), I believe 2:15-3:00 of that song may just be it. If I ever get around to running the Boston Marathon, I'm saving that 45 seconds to physically propel me over the worst of Heartbreak Hill. The album and tour were both such a needed, welcome and completely unexpected gift of 2010. Thank you all so much for making it happen, and here's to great 2011.
World ought to have Hot Garden Stomp on CD & dig.
Happened upon your blog for the first time this week. Enjoying reading backwards. Been listening to the Avengers in my workout playlist this week. Always loved their 1983 self-titled album, from CD Presents. "American in Me" and "Corpus Christie" are my favorites. Still remember the thrill of finding it on CD in a music store near where Cosmic Cantina is on Franklin Street in the 1990s. The thrill of that kind of hunt is gone. Thanks.
