June 24, 2007

McCarren Pool @ McCarren Park, Brooklyn NY

FREE SHOW

anyone else going? i don't think i'm physically allowed to miss a superchunk show now that they don't really tour anymore. Their daily show set in november was unreal, and it was probably the best i've ever seen them (been into them since i saw them on Lollapolooza in 96?)

easily the least appreciated american indie rock band there is today.

word.

As stupid as it sounds, I honestly bet that if they would have chosen a different name they would've been much more popular.

i'd agree with you, but the other popular band from the 90's was called pavement....

these guys are kind of below my radar. i didn't know they were still playing. i've been listening to "here's to shutting up" quite a bit lately though. it makes me happy to know they're still around. i hope they make it to the midwest sometime.

anyone going to sonic youth on july 28, or tv on the radio july 29?

one of my favorites has always been polvo. I think they are even more underated than superchunk. I know they aren't for everybody though.

polvo are a bit harder to get into. but, at the very least, mac signed them

[Icarus]

Depending on the time. If it's at like 2:00PM I can make it, but later, not so much.

Would highly enjoy attending.

yeah, I didn't know this until recently when I was looking at their wiki page, but apparently they are into some sorta "math rock" scene where all the measures change up & they do 6/4 time or 7/8 time. And they sound like they don't tune their guitars--which is why I love them so much.

Back in the day we'd be driving around trying to find skate spots in my friends car & he always had the chapel hill shit. Archers of Loaf was pretty good. I liked the Portastatic side project too. But he had this "Precision Auto" remix EP that was SO awesome. I've been trying to find it ever since.

Links? I tried looking for it on the Merge website.

[readytoignite]

one of the tracks may have been rereleased as a track on the incidental music comp, it was originally on what i recall to be some special anniversary remix thing. unfortunately, my 7"es are buried under a mound of crap in my closet so i can't check the wheres and whats right now

i'm still up in the air about this one... i'm trying to decide whether or not i want to drop $300 on a plane ticket to fly to ny for this... typically i'd say no but i know tons of people that are going to be flocking to the city for rock the bells... so tempted!

[poly800rock]

i thought it's pretty amazing they're just playing daydream nation

[jeepster]

i'd say go if you can, but if you're really gonna bother flying then you should stay for both days considering TV on the radio is free. anyways, their playing other festivals and concerts this summer where they'll be preforming daydream full
