Superchunk Live Show Review: 7/8, Square Roots, Chicago

BY JORDAN MAINZER

From the Czar Bar to the middle of Lincoln Square: Such is the story of Superchunk’s three-decade history in Chicago. Looking on at the crowd Saturday night at Square Roots, it was clear to Mac McCaughan that not many people knew what he was talking about when he mentioned the long-defunct venue. You know what, though? That’s Superchunk’s fault for attracting a new generation of fans. Since 2010, the band has released three great and one very good post-hiatus records. Saturday night, the crowd was perhaps expecting to hear more of their latest, 2022′s Wild Loneliness (Merge); instead, the set was practically two-thirds old material, including a few deep cuts, geared towards perhaps the very people at the Czar Bar in the early 90′s.

Superchunk’s brand of indie rock never went out of style. Even when baroque instrumentation pervaded the sound of the who’s who of independent music, there were always fans of power pop-bordering on-pop punk to be found, somewhere in between Cheap Trick and the Warped Tour. McCaughan and company’s earnestness never wore off. During the Aughts, the band simply wasn’t releasing music, but as soon as they did again, they returned right where they left off. All of this is to say it makes sense that Superchunk could attract a wide variety of listeners, versatility they showed off better than ever on Saturday. The gentler-than-usual lilt of What A Time To Be Alive’s “Black Thread” found a kindred spirit in the sway of “Driveway to Driveway”, while burner like On the Mouth’s “Precision Auto” mirrored the urgency of Majestry Shredding’s “Learned To Surf” and I Hate Music's shout-along anthem “Me & You & Jackie Mittoo”.

Meanwhile, the festival offered an opportunity for established bands like Superchunk to reflect on themselves and the others playing, how far all of them have come. During their set, McCaughan shouted out the stage’s previous occupants, local alt rock legends Eleventh Dream Day, as well as the Mekons’ Jon Langford and Sally Timms, who both joined Eleventh Dream Day and played a set of their own across the grounds earlier in the day. As for those who weren’t there, Superchunk dedicated No Pocky for Kitty’s “Seed Toss” to the late Rick Froberg, the Pitchfork/Drive Like Jehu/Hot Snakes lead vocalist who passed away late last month. They unexpectedly ended their set not with a no-brainer like “Slack Motherfucker” but their version of Lou Barlow’s oft-covered “Brand New Love” from their 1992 Tossing Seeds singles compilation. On Monday, I looked at the band’s setlist at Thalia Hall the following night to find there was not much crossover. For the uninitiated and the familiar, every Superchunk show is an invitation to dive in or rediscover something great that just happens to have been there the whole time.

bitches will abandon you for a century, eat your intestines with their dick and completely the cycle of abuse by becoming you, and then expect you not to eviscerate yourself in a final desperate act of love and revenge

#madk #madk j #if you couldn't tell i love the madk ending #it's so perfect #makoto could never truly understand j until he was gone #because the loneliness of losing someone who knows you is such an integral part of j's character and worldview #m is then doomed to the exact same cycle #seeking out someone who can understand and destroy him as he did to j #it's so beautiful #also sorry for anyone who got spoiled from this post that makoto eats j's intestines again but this time with his magnum dong #madk is a wild manga

I’m just…

Spinning out, waiting for ya to pull me in

I can see you're lonely down there

Don't you know that I am right here?

She said, "Give me a day or two"

Wishing I could be there for ya

Listennnnn. You don’t want me to do this lol. It’s a CONSTANT theme. I could talk about this for DAYS.

All of Holding on to Heartache? “I called you twice but then regretted it, and changed my number…??!!”

This is a conversation they’ve been having since 1D days, but more pointedly now that they’re solo. HS1? “Even my phone misses your call, by the way.” Fine Line- “it’s hard for me to come home and be so lonely.” Walls- “I cut you off because I didn’t know no better” and basically ALL of Defenceless lol. Don’t even get me started on Faith In The Future.

#there’s so many more #I could write a ducking book #and THATS WHAT I MEAN when I say if they want me to stop thinking they’re together #they should stop writing shit that’s basically A CALL AND RESPONSE in every. single. goddamn. album.#and like #themes of loss and loneliness and regret #and heartbreak and etc etc are such common themes in songs #hell Niall will have/has had some #but it’s just not the same #for every one Harry has #Louis has one as well #they’re intricate and layered and a photograph of their relationship in moments in time #it’s….#well besides being ducking wild #it’s gross is what it is

Me: Aw, Silver is turning out to be a sweet guy to and with Suvi and I hope we get to see more of hi-

Brennan: He's leaving for the front kudos see you next week 🫰🏻

#heartbreak for plot #that being said #the radical difference that is shown between Suvi who gets so many people's support and appreciation as she comes into her power #and the utter loniless of Ame who's gotten her title before she herself had the confidence to feel ready #and at the end of the day Ame goes to bed with the Fox who's just the part of her soul that expresses outloud what she thinks to herself #whereas Suvi gets to go find her lover/boyfriend-to-be/comrade who knows what she's going through to find solace in his arms #so YEAH SUVI #ofc you think about Ame and how her status provides her with a deep loneliness #specific to people who haven't grown up with a secure support system #and yes it's so good that Suvi gets to see Silver leave for the front because her solid pillars of (somewhat) privilege need to be rocked #and yeah the juicy drama that can come out of maybe the Citadel being in danger ? or having to save Silver at the front ?#idk I'm eager for what comes #twtwatwo #the wizard the witch and the wild one #worlds beyond number #wbn #aabria iyengar #suvi the wizard #sky the wizard #erika ishii #ame the witch #ALSO training under the watchful eye of the Great Bear

That’s it, Guwon is Yisan’s reincarnation and noone can tell me otherwise

#this is wild but I hope Deokim can come as she is in her next life so he will pass by her just like what she wished #how is it Yisan? how does it feel to be at your palace? does it still hurt? has it ever stopped hurting? loneliness is still all over you?#won has sarang now then who do you have? where is your person?#I really think I wouldn’t dare going anywhere near that drama again #I just got hurt and difficult breathing even just looking at Yisan #even typing these aches my heart #this is just how devastating TRS was #this is how much that drama has hurt me #but that King the Land crossover was seriously surprising #so here I am #I really think it's Junho's idea again #it's Guwon but it's still Yisan but it's Guwon #but srl the mountain is even in the same shape?#Lee junho #Junho #It’s Junho’s season now #2pm #King the Land #the red sleeve #I put my heart into every gifset I’ve made #always next to Junho

i miss succession and the community it gave me </3

#i know most of you are still there but it's not the same. and that's okay because it's been nearly a year since it ended!! it's normal #but i also miss it. spring and summer 2022? some of the happiest time of my life!!! i've always wanted to be a part of something #and i truly got to experience that. and i am grateful!! but thinking about it makes me nostalgic and also a little sad.#mostly because i feel like i'm never going to have that again. and also because i miss the people. it's wild how you talk to someone daily #and now it's been over a year since we've been in contact. a specific kind of a heartbreak!!#yes the fact succ ended is hitting me now. a year later. everybody moved on i stayed here <3 #but anyways i am so so grateful for all of the people who have been here experiencing the mass hysteria of succ together!!!! the past years #have been worth it because of you <3 #yes the loneliness hit me bad. shhh it's midnight i'm allowed

nightbringer lesson 14 FUCKED ME UP in several ways but primarily I've spent the last 48 hours making myself sad over the solomon backstory we got. specifically I have, for no reason, latched onto that one chapter in the Kids event where baby solomon cried because he felt so guilty over being responsible for that spell. and that just feels a touch more depressing in context

#nightbringer spoilers #obey me on side #went back and unlocked the event again because i could not get this out of my brain i know it's probably not that deep #but it is that deep TO ME. okay #baby solomon has been on my brain since thirteen told that story so that's probably why it's sticking in my brain so hard but whatever #in case anyone was wondering the other things to make me sad are:#he has such a deeply excessive amount of lights in his room in purgatory hall there are SEVERAL chandeliers and lamps #there's a good handful in his room in cocytus hall too (his horror dg showed it) if a more normal amount #but that with the 'dim and gloomy' detail. ☹️#i've also always thought that solomon's loneliness wasn't all about the immortal angst but like.#having it confirmed that he's had reason to be lonely since he was a child- before he was old enough to know he was using magic-#totally crushed me girl why can't I be wrong #had emotions about lesson 14 in general but solomon backstory steals the show every time for me so i haven't gotten around to the rest #i'm enjoying the nightbringer story so much (not talking about the game design. that's a different thing entirely) but man #the pacing is WILD it feels like every lesson could be a whole lesson block at the least. it's giving me a lot of room to speculate #which I always love! but i do wish they would slow down a little and expand on some of these concepts they're bringing up #because the basic idea of the game alone is REALLY INTRIGUING and it'd be a shame if they raced back to the present imo #what was i even talking about. sorry my brain fast forwards as soon as i get into the tags there is not one sequitur to be seen #so curious about solomon's friend now too. like my guess is it's going to be lilith (and hopefully not in a popular fan theory kind of way)#because it's more than a little suspicious that they expanded on lilith's views on humans the way they did #in a way that SO PERFECTLY lines up with the expansion on solomon's views on humans #WHICH I HAVEN'T TALKED ABOUT YET BY THE WAY BUT LIKE. HE IS SO RIGHT AND REAL FOR THAT #it's beyond stressful to me that I think solomon is completely justified in his views and being completely reasonable about it #but that it would also mean war between the worlds presumably while the brothers are still recovering from THEIRS #you cannot give me that choice man. not even sure that the human world would be ABLE to win that fight if we're being real #solomon's 72 pacts are a lot yes but he's still only one guy who is NOT on good terms with the sorcerer's society #and mc is powerful but so so inexperienced. and that's IF they choose to side with the human world which #really i don't think the canon mc is likely to do. but anyway i guess solomon's friend could also be adam maybe?#that could be wishful thinking because i like adam though. even if his hair SUUUCKS #deeply offended by everyone thinking solomon got the fucked up hair when all signs point to adam be NICE TO HIM he's ugly already

i hear people on the "scar killed his (boatem) crew by letting them sink" theory but i'm inclined to angst and so i much prefer the prospect that scar couldn't save them. i'm sure he did everything he could but if you go by popular fanon ideas of everyone, Pearl and Grian both have wings (and imagine trying to swim with waterlogged wings), Impulse is a demon (fire and water don't mix? idk), and Mumbo is. Well.. The living embodiment of a wet cat. Scar may have been the only one who could have even had a chance at surviving and rationalized his grief by telling himself he let them sink. Because it was the only way he could get by without accepting he couldn't have prevented their deaths.

#gtws #gtwscar #pirates smp #scurvyblr #p!scar #i hc impulse as a gargoyle personally which means him not swimming makes even more sense #its not that scar isnt loyal. look at the efforts he goes to to always find jellie or have a companion #he would never actually kill his companions as much of a wild card that he is. he's better than that #its that when faced with loneliness he does whatever he can to cope with it. and if that means pretending their deaths were at his hand #rather than something he couldn't have prevented #then thats what he has to imagine to get by
