Song of the Day 4/28/2011

My band has a show this evening. It’s the first one in over a year and this, combined with the lingering cold, and the random, harrowing demands of the job are making me edgy. For the last few days I’ve been anxious, snappy and impatient (more so), I am a fucking joy to be around.

So I looked around on the internet for something to cheer me up and found this:

Superchunk - Digging For Something from Merge Records on Vimeo.

Obviously it’s a stone cold good song, it’s up there with any really good Superchunk song - and the video manages to actually be funny. I reckon this because Jon Wurster is so heavily involved with funny things these days (I also reckon that THAT is how Marc Maron’s WTF podcast got sponsored by Merge Records – I love it when two disparate things I like get somehow connected).

What’s really taking the edge off for me is having this song remind me of the fucking awesome show Superchunk did last year, it’s nice that a miserable mood can be fended off with a happy memory.

Also, we’re coming up on 20 years since No Pocky For Kitty came out. And you should read this about that.
