NEW! Cup of Sand MIA Tracks

2 cd's and it ain't enough! You may have heard about the latest singles/b-sides/odds-and-sods compilation Cup of Sand (see news page)... well, some non-album tunes STILL didn't make it on there, so we'll irregularly present some mp3's here.

Kicked In (Acoustic)
from Tsunami/Superchunk split 7" on HoneyBear Records (1995)
Thanks to Kevin Wimberley

Album Tracks

Superchunk-curious? Here are some previously released album tracks. These are in mp3 format and are available on the albums listed (click on the album titles for more info), all in print and very orderable from Merge Records:

Tie A Rope To The Back Of The Bus
from No Pocky for Kitty

Mower
from On The Mouth

Hyper Enough

Watery Hands
from Indoor Living

Her Royal Fisticuffs
from The Laughter Guns e.p.

Hello Hawk

Act Surprised

Live/Rare/Of Questionable Value

Most of these live tracks were recorded with a single microphone to a minidisc player sitting in a pool of beer back by the soundboard, so they may not sound too hot, but hopefully there's some amusement on offer here. Thanks to anyone who's sent in their own (better-sounding) live recordings of Superchunk shows as well.

What Do You Look Forward To?
