I bought this cd at Deaf Ear Records, in LaCrosse, WI in 1995. I was looking for 'On the Mouth', but they didn't have it. Around the same time I discovered other great indie bands such as Jawbox, Archers of Loaf, The Raymond Brake, Meices, The Dismemberment Plan, Seaweed, and Shiner. To this day, I still listen to the same bands I loved almost 25 years ago. Great music stands the test of time.

[@pellelindbergh4455]

you so right man ,i really can't stand the shit they play now ,and here a band that don't get any radio love now !!!????

[@christophertorres8141]

I just discovered this band, holy shit!!!

[@frankschapmire1471]

Solid 90s Research Triangle vibes.

[@robertstrong6639]

Incomparably cool and pristine indie music.

[@julianschulz1620]

I was a metal kid that sometimes watched 120 minutes in the 90's, and this song would always come on & blow my mind. I'd wait for that opening drum part, because they'd play it every Sunday.

[@mikebosi2662]

Mac and the gang, seems like they have been putting out music for my enjoyment for the last two decades and Funny how there's so few who appreciate how good they are!

[@frflinstone]

It is a mystery, but then again it might explain what has happened in the US in the past 5 or so years ! There's no accounting for taste !

[@frankschapmire1471]

Now it's 3 decades. 😂

[@demonicsweaters]

Foolish is such an amazing album. So many great memories from this time in my life.

[@krissisu1111]

"How long does the first part last..." This song always chokes me up. :(

[@earthbound7711]

Why is it that in the 80's I was a decade or two behind in my love of music...and now again, I'm back to being a decade or so behind? Am I really that old or does music just suck that much these days?

[@harristonmiller4399]

classy track from a classy band

[@Hollywoodninja2]

love the song. Can't find any band like them in 2017....

[@comicmischief97]

I bought this cd at Amoeba in Los Angeles about a week ago while I was visiting my boyfriend. It's totally awesome!

[@morenomandressi2839]

Rappresenta da sempre la voglia di essere giovani. Brano fantastico.

[@luisporciuncula4972]

SUPER CHUNK É MUITO AFUDEEE

[@mv563]

That smile at 1:45 has been making me a little giddy for a quarter of a century now.

[@luiz96826]

banda muito legal, pena que perdi o show

[@Bicyclesidewalk]

You can see NC in any Superchunk video - really nice.

[@frankschapmire1471]

Oh my God this comment. Yes!!! You must have lived there too. Chapel Hill was very fun. This is a rush of memories that I love.

[@frankschapmire1471]

The video for Precision Auto made me cry the last time I saw it. Their show at the Cats Cradle at merge this year in 2024 is sold out. I'm going next year and going to spend a couple days there. Ain't going back too far I. Those woods though. 😂

[@timbuhagiar1226]

Probs my favourite song ever. By any band. So good.

[@internationalgiant1]

one of my favorites. I wanna go back...

[@BrunoTozzini]

anthem, indeed!

[@marie-claudeblais6025]

Great song.

[@lovepeace517]

[@shishirba]

its a very thick plot mate...

[@datingrobots]

Que sonzeira gurizada! E que letra foda! Superchunk faz parte da minha vida ❤️

[@toddschanel640]

Chapel Hill 1994!

[@DaveLampton]

Totally... I remember this video. Raleigh/Chapel Hill really had it going back then: Superchunk, Polvo, Archers of Loaf, etc. I imagine they still have a great scene, but I couldn't name any bands today.

[@jamesbelljr7987]

The sounds of " The Old North State"...aka North Carolina..enjoy

[@Thegreepest]

Whats the plot of this video?

[@peterjsutherland]

So this is the first part We're drunk and the selfless relentless caresses How long must the first part last Before we make our respective messes?…

[@Lucifermorningstar21]

ftw lol sleepovers n milk and cookies!

[@xXxBoNgHiTzzz420xXx]

@thatRUGA Missing the point much?

[@yungkece4516]

Yung Kece Charity Event come out and party with him and friends to give back . Thanks Kece Gang

[@yungkece4516]

[@toilnblood]

There's no way that record player wasn't skipping like a stone with all that jumping!

[@yogavnture1]

i was the 1000 like

[@yogavnture1]

i was the 1000th like but then someone unliked . so now its 999 likes again. i cant win

[@ConsciousRobot]

They we're actually better on this album than any album that came after. In my opinion their sound has kind of devolved since. I feel like this sound must have inspired so many other indie rock bands like Jimmy Eat World, Sunny Day Real Estate, Death Cab for Cutie, the Getup Kids, etc.

[@peterjsutherland]

Chank

[@mafred2069]

I love dance records like this but they never give them a chance in the nighclubs; they always play that same old Top 40 S-H-I-T.

[@ZRN959]

hehe, that baby in the beginning is probably in college....

[@dwaxon]

That baby has likely moved on to The Workforce now. Poor thing. ;^)

[@drluch1522]

Why is John Wurster having a sleepover with 15 year old girls?

[@0okamino]

To console him for the loss of his burrow owl.

[@drluch1522]

Oh Boy

[@tannerin]

i love this song but always thought it was a weird choice for a single on an album with songs like water wings and why do you have to put a date

[@ge569]

why does this sound so much like a the cure song

[@James69813]

They take Belly off the record player and put on the Breeders and then dance like crazy!

[@merlinsiervo]

Co director of this music video directed the Ant Man films for Marvel

[@wisconsindeathtrip]

Edited ending. Bummer.

[@TheRonseye]

Agreed but a blast to rediscover quickly here(YT) .......gonna grab a DL now :)

[@Mike_Greentea]

Wtf

[@BL-rb7jm]

Can you imagine growing up in a big family where there's absolutely no discipline and no guidance will I've seen it sadly to say no future it's a child is rebellious all the time and doesn't want to teach themselves anything or doesn't want to listen to any Authority whatsoever eventually it will play Havoc and a child that ends up uneducated and refuses to go to school can end up on drugs we all need some form of guidance which is useful and it's parents responsibility to set the grade example for the children to follow and I think a lot of children that are brought up an environment where there's no set rules Orr extreme discipline it's going to affect them mentally emotionally. I knew one family were there was always fighting with the boys and the father wasn't there the mother didn't step in and they are very confrontational even in their 60s now they still don't get along. A father should be in a son's life if they grow up as long as the parents are there for the children it helps immensely, providing that the father is not an alcoholic or a drug dealer or takes drugs himself. Yeah it's really sad when you see families that are dysfunctional, I know Wonder they have to learn the hard way because there was no one setting the example on how to make your life easy without learning the hard way

[@lajuergens2545]

What saddens me is horseshit bands like Greenday cash in on being "PUNK ROCK, all the while Superchunk who towers over them talent wise toils in relative obscurity. Wake the fuck up people!

[@jasonwashere8016]

I like how they took the belly record off to the breeders and tried to like it.Breeders are horrible Belly was Tanya's best work and is still going with the Dove album...

[@boxxylegoplaymobil8906]

fucken crazy how bland this band is
