From PackageThf@aol.com Fri Aug 1 22:47:22 1997 Date: Sun, 1 Jun 1997 19:59:39 -0400 (EDT) From: PackageThf@aol.com Subject: watery hands Welcome ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, to another editition of the Supe rchunk eMailing List. Fasten your seatbelts, here we go... >>The name of the new Superchunk LP is "INDOOR LIVING" - available September 2nd. The first single off the album, "Watery Hands," will be out in August, exact date TBA, but a video is currently in the works... Although Superchunk will not launch any kind of tour until August or September, they will be playing one show (a festival) on the Spanish isle of Majorca on July 5th - more info to come... >>In case you forgot (or are new to the list), you can write to Superchunk at superchunk@mindspring.com - (see the April 25th mailer for proper ettiquite for the address). Sometimes the band's email responses have gotten sent back to them, so they have asked me to then post those responses on the list. Here's one: Q: What kind of effects pedal does Mac use? A: Mac uses a Boss DS-1 distortion pedal. >>"Basement Life" - a rather rare Superchunk song - has now turned up on CD for all to enjoy. Granted, it almost killed me tracking it down on 7", but at least now everyone can hear it on Amphetamine Reptile's DOPE GUNS AND FUCKING Vol. 8-11 compilation CD, which also includes tracks from Jawbox and others... Available at finer record stores near you... Also available, from Merge Records, is the long-awaited MRG100 - a remix ep with mixing done by Mark Robinson (Air Miami/Unrest). It includes a new mix of Superchunk's "Animated Airplanes Over Germany" plus new mixes of Magnetic Fields and others... >>Looking for some interesting imports from bands you like?
