Oh lord, please don’t let me be misunderstood @superchunk, you never *ever* have to ask DJ’s/music critics/media what kind of records to make. I’m just saying your newfound political evangelism is super safe agitprop and is getting you more press than you’ve had in a decade...
...I know, most of your ilk sat out the last 15yrs and didn’t say shit while Obama was adding five wars onto Bush’s two. Nat’l Petroleum Radio even admits as much in their entry in the ‘Fawning Over Any Bands That (Two Minutes) Hate New Puppet Prez’ series https://www.npr.org/2018/02/12/581927498/first-listen-superchunk-what-a-time-to-be-alive …
...I’m sure it *was* a shock after eight years of snoozy slumber to find everything so seemingly topsy turvy! A rude awakening, indeed. But now that cognitive dissonance in your belly’s gotta be twisting/turning, just like it was rumbling for the fake right last time ‘round...
...but *they’re* the ones asleep now, now that *their* fake team has the ball. Just like you and Drive-By Truckers and Wilco and - oh look, Pearl Jam just made a protest song! - and all the other fake fucks that tacitly supported drone strikes and hiring Monsanto during Obama...
Sidebar: When I saw DBT last year (working a fest, not in it for them), @PattersonHood said onstage: “People are saying ‘Oh, Drive-By Truckers got all political now.’ Yeah, well... whatever.” “WHATEVER”? *That’s* his full-throated defense of fair weather activism? Fucking. Lame.
(Hey check it out, you’re being mentioned in the same breath as the heavyweights! Two minutes hate *is* boffo box office, yo!)
Here’s another example of that kind of hilariously cringey and more-illuminating-than-was-intended gold - this time from Ol’ Gray Lady: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/14/arts/music/superchunk-trump-political-rock.html … I was searching “bands that got political” for a refresher on all the angry-come-lately’s that I can’t keep track of...
“It took Trump to make Superchunk political” - So... torture, spying, drone strikes on weddings/schools, overthrowing govts, giving cops military-grade weapons, granting insane powers to previous puppets and never thinking those powers will go to someone you *don’t* like...
...*those* things were all cool, but not this. Not This!! (Yes, the ironic ghost of the Dixie Chicks hangs over this thread. “Shut up and sing,” they were told. Meanwhile, you actually *were* ‘Shutting Up’, going radio silent just when people needed to hear from you...
(Tangent: Are y’all gonna start policing bands on merge, like polyvinyl and castleface do? Can’t have bands expressing weird beliefs in interviews, now, can we, Dream Machine? Also, still waiting on *any* formal, criminal charges to be filed against @PWRBTTMBAND, 1yr+ later...
...I’ve asked bands off-the-record about the new digital pitchfork mob climate and they’re fucking *terrified* of doing saying thinking ANYTHING that might go against the new age of rage clicks that could torpedo their entire fucking career over something some asshole posted.)
Anyway, I’ve been at this shit for about as long as you have (No, “#MediaMonarchy Est. 2005” isn’t my first rodeo). I just thought you needed to hear from long-time heads that find your new outrage to be a self-serving overcompensation for not saying anything sooner. Deuces!
