Burning through the holiday reading stack. It's weird reading a history of something that happened only 20 years ago that you were kind of familiar with at the time that it happened. "Wait for the news in the history books. Like junkies who hate their heroin." This book was just as much about Superchunk the band as it was about the label. I have fond memories of cruising Parmatown Mall in my friend Doug's Ford Fairmont blasting "No Pocky for Kitty" on cassette and saying: "Superchunk is super punk." I don't think I've listened to a note of Superchunk since that record. Book was okay. All of Jon Wurster's quotes were funny. Not enough content on Neutral Milk Hotel, which is what I was looking for. Know the name Arcade Fire, but that's about it. Kudos to Merge Records for such a long history!
