I was living in NYC finishing school when we made this record, so rehearsals and recording were all rushed. I m surprised we knew this many songs well enough to record them. Twenty-seven years later, we still play at least three or four of these songs live occasionally (one of them all the time…), which says something good about a few of the songs, anyway! We got so much better as a band, and as songwriters, that it s hard to even see this as any kind of template for what Superchunk would eventually be, but it s definitely where we were at in 1989/90.
