Superchunk: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

[@homedog3654]

The acoustic version of Animated Airplanes is absolutely beautiful. This band has helped me through so much in life.

[@desertstormchefnice9446]

Same here dude. Superchunk is perfect for nostalgia and break-ups.

[@diagnolsnakeskin462]

Same here!! You have no idea.

[@diagnolsnakeskin462]

Is this Shoenice?? If so.. I love you even more for being a fan of one of the best bands ever.

[@desertstormchefnice9446]

Diagnol Snakeskin Nah, I'm just a Shoenice troll account lol

[@poly800rock]

mac's voice is like fine wine. his falsettos still send chills down my spine

[@HANGINGWANG]

Do not quite expect that voice to come out of him.

[@franciscozorrilla8440]

At the age of twelve he was ritualistically castrated by a woman named Wilma

[@Briandnlo4]

Mac is sort of the indie-rock Graham Nash. Great singer, don't mistake him for anyone else.

[@sf5823]

HANGINGWANG me neither lol...nice surprise 😊👏

[@sf5823]

R.Aguiar my thoughts exactly... Pretty cool 😎 xxx

[@vandenbos6401]

+Francisco Zorrilla Wait, WHAT???

[@alanbeauregard4736]

Superchunk voice is incredible. six string and accumulation of music is mind blowers.Thank all of you.

[@Newtman98]

That drummer is flagrantly underrated

[@erinbatten-hicks7392]

same drummer for the Mountain Goats - (Jon Wurster)

[@BryceRosenwald]

Wurster is so so talented - listen to how much he can do with just a snare. Criminally under-recognized in both of his bands.

[@nicleafs3014]

Newtman98 I knew him when he lived in newbridge...always hanging out with Roy Jr.

[@0okamino]

Great at drumming, terrible at finding his burrow owl.

[@noahbaker8266]

Found Jon through the Mountain Goats, absolute unit of good

[@sapyor]

NPR Music the best! :) I heard only one song "Throwing Things" from the album (No Pocky For Kitty). But it was cool. I was so young :) Thank you for inviting these guys.

[@Bimp_Lizkit]

The 'Dirty South' in the house! Well done, guys. Mad Props to their label Merge Records which also handle more great bands like Arcade Fire, Spoon and others.

[@skinniedan9081]

Awesome version of animated airplanes. Takes me straight back to sophomore year 95.

[@Guitarshock]

80s, 90s, 00s, 10s. 4 decades.

[@markweiss1934]

Superchunk is the Minnie Minoso of indie rock

[@ananke23]

Love the reworking of Animated Airplanes.

[@oxwilder]

One really sad thing about the growing reliance on streaming music services is that I don't have easy access to any of my cool old mp3s from my private libraries, like an awesome live acoustic of "Kicked In" I probably downloaded on Limewire or Kazaa or something

[@Eli-su6ql]

They should get Streetlight Manifesto on the Tiny Desk Concerts... Needs some Ska-Punk.

[@turtlish2]

Try singing like Mac. It’s impossible. Your voice will break forever.

[@bienienow]

did not expect that voice from him

[@Elaine-oo4qp]

Now I understand the retirement - JW,

[@petey9568]

That wallet got me dying!! Lol

[@johnflanigan8573]

It is a bit of a stretch to refer to 24 years as spanning four decades. Accurate, but sort of deceptive

[@mattaki]

1989 - 1990s - 2000s - 2013 = 4 decades and eras of indie music - and just made one of their best albums this year!

[@erikkennedy]

It's even crazier now. Thirty-two years, but they cover FIVE decades ('80s, '90s, '00s, '10s, '20s).

[@siquelistv7550]

Sensacional!

[@erichart2093]

Mac has no fear

[@AlexandrescLima-zf7nc]

Apesar dos sofrimentos da vida e de todos os problemas, sabe... desisti de andar e fui aprender a surfar......

[@baphomick]

1989-2013 is 40 years? Is this that new math? Or have we travelled into the future?

[@mattaki]

1989, 90s, 00s, 2010s = 4 decades. hopefully they're still around 11 years from now to make it to 40.

[@markweiss1934]

@@mattaki they were a '90s band before there was such a thing

[@stellajones5050]

Did anyone else notice that the drummer looks like ben folds

[@guitarzilla]

Yep. Last still alive and not famous. But for that era, that something to be said.

[@vandenbos6401]

what

[@baphomick]

I was never too fond of math.

[@ShreddyGnarGnar]

nah, Jonathan Wurster

[@dregan1061]

Ladies and gentlemen, Jonathan Franzen on the drums.

[@erinbatten-hicks7392]

Actually it was Jon Wurster

[@markweiss1934]

@@erinbatten-hicks7392 Jon is funny enough to laugh at being compared in one thread to Ben Folds, Jonathan Franzen and Zachary Quinto -- actually before I met him they put him on the phone and I thought he was a woman, so I'll add "Kathleen Turner" to the list of comparisons

[@WiseauWarCriminal]

four decades? 2013-1989 = 24. that's not even 2.5 decades. what?

[@mktaylor78]

Well, technically they have been an act in 4 different decades (the 80s, 90s, 00s, and 10s). So they have spanned 4 decades in their 24 years.

[@Hermitose]

80's, 90's, 2000's, 2010's keyword: spanning. cheers!

[@stringburner57]

Honestly, it sucked!
