Superchunk might be goin’ on 25 years, but it sure is hard to tell listening to the infectious sugar-pop of “Me & You & Jackie Mittoo“. Sure Mac McCaughan starts out complaining about how much he hates music, but it doesn’t take long before he realizes it’s all he’s got, and that means only one thing…time to cram the band back in the van! “Me & You & Jackie Mittoo” is a perfect distillation of a quarter century of Superchunk, proving it doesn’t take much more than a handful of chords to make great music, if you’ve got boundless energy and infectious attitude. Look for the I Hate Music LP to come out August 20th on Merge Records. Till then, we have the video for “Me & You & Jackie Mittoo”, directed by Phil Morrison, featuring a bunch of fun images of people posing with their favorite albums at independent record stores like Twist and Shout, Amoeba Hollywood, Gravity Records, Electric Fetus, and more!
