On to the music!
If you’re on Instagram, Superchunk drummer Jon Wurster has a recurring theme where he posts pictures about what he calls #rockandrollweirdness.
Anytime I hear this band, I think of when the band’s bass player made the NYT wedding announcements. If that’s not peak rock and roll weirdness, I don’t know what is. It’s also awesome.
And so is this track.
“Walking at a Downtown Pace” by Parquet Courts | Sympathy For Life, 2021
As always, I’d love to know your thoughts on this band & song. Let me know in the comments!
Thanks for being here,

I love the new name and look too, man! This is really great. Also dig this song. The singer reminds me of someone from the '80s but I can't put my finger on who.
love the new name and logo! also love this record--seeing them this spring and i couldn't be more excited
