Superchunk - Foolish

Not only the best Superchunk album in my opinion, but also one of the best albums Merge released in the 90's. They're just a great rock band and this is a great rock cd. It's slower than their previous material, in an attempt to tackle the art of mid-tempo songs and they succeed. It starts out with "The Fool" which is a classic build-up song. My favorite song on this cd's either "Why Do You Have To Put A Date On Everything?" or "Driveway to Driveway". Most of the songs are just bitter songs about unrequited love. Apparently this was written following the breakup of co-founders Laura Balance and Mac Mcaughn, which explains that. There's not much more to say about this album, you'll have to listen for yourself as usual.

I just took a nap. I'm thinking about going to the play tonight. I really want to see it, but I don't really have anyone to go with. So for now I'm watching Escape From L.A.
