YOUR FAVORITE MTV SHOWS ARE ON PARAMOUNT+

Superchunk

Mustard is punker, but liquor is quicker.

(Arch0Loaf) Give me chunk!

(dinojr) I would sell my soul to see Superchunk again!

(PreTeen) Chunk!

(base) Anyone who heard Superchunk for the first time at Lollapalooza please leave now!

(dinojr) Hahaha.

(DKush) They made it, say hello.

(SUPRCHUNK) Hi. We're here, we're wet, and we're grumpy!

(vill) Hey Mac, Laura, James and Jon: This is Greg from WXVU. I interviewed you at the Trocadero. The tape didn't come out, so I guess we'll have to do it again sometime . . . haw?

(_state_) Don't be grumpy.

(Martin) Welcome to New York . . . he heh.

(Arch0Loaf) Screw NY, come back to Philly!

(SUPRCHUNK) We're never coming back to Philly -- EVER!

(Chadwick) What about coming to Rochester, NY?

(SUPRCHUNK) If Rochester's anything like Albany, I'm sure we'll love it.

(Arch0Loaf) Mac: You gotta get rid of that 'geetar' you played Silver Leaf and Snowy Tears with!!!

(SUPRCHUNK) Arch0Loaf: That's a fine guitar, lay off.

(RandyJ) Your videos are always the coolest. Will you ever put out a tape?

(SUPRCHUNK) We do plan on putting out a videotape next year sometime, with all the videos you'll never see on MTV, plus some x-rated footage of Wurster only his parents have seen.

(base) Aww yeah.

(Martin) Yahoo!

(DKush) Bondage or bestiality?

(SUPRCHUNK) We enjoy both bondage and bestiality but never at the same time.

(_state_) When you get requests at a show do you take it as a complement or does it annoy you?

(SUPRCHUNK) Requests are OK, occasionally we'll play them if it's something we wish we'd thought to put on the list in the first place.

(DKush) Super, do you ever beat each other up during your recording sessions?

(SUPRCHUNK) No, but we'll beat you up for a fee.

(DKush) How much?

(Martin) Can we watch?

(base) What's punker, mustard or ketchup?

(SUPRCHUNK) base: Mustard is punker, but liquor is quicker.

(RandyJ) OK, old question, but one always interesting to me: who would you describe as influences?

(SUPRCHUNK) Influences: Lumpy, base, RandyJ, and of course Arch0Loaf.

(dinojr) When will you play Indiana?

(SUPRCHUNK) We'll play Indiana when that creep Mellencamp apologizes to Buffalo Tom for saying they ripped him off!

(dinojr) Wow. I will force ol' John to apologize.

(spenceck) Is it true that 'Detroit' is your next single?

(SUPRCHUNK) The next single will more likely be "yeah, it's beautiful here, too."

(RandyJ) How's that Jerky Boys movie?

(SUPRCHUNK) Randy: Jon says the Jerky Boys movie is "kind of like Out of Africa meets Sister Act 2."

(_state_) Please play Certain Stars and/or Baxter in Atlanta -- please -- I've seen you 5 times and haven't heard Baxter yet.

(SUPRCHUNK) state: You have to pick the shows where we play Baxter in order to hear us play it at a show.

(petter) Super, anyway, are the record sales too low in Sweden for dates here when you do European touring?

(SUPRCHUNK) We do plan on coming to Sweden on our next tour (probably in January) in Europe.

(petter) HOOOORAYYYY!

(Martin) Cool, where in Sweden and when?

(petter) ACTION smiles and dances around the channel

(SUPRCHUNK) martin: In the fjords. Petter: watch the coffee table!

(spenceck) Do you guys still communicate with speedo?

(SUPRCHUNK) spenk: We still communicate with speedo, only now we do it telepathically.

(PreTeen) What do you like to do with your favorite animal?

(swirly) Yeah, favorite animal?!

(SUPRCHUNK) Elizabeth Berkeley is our favorite animal.

(base) Isn't it kind of scary that she went from Saved by the Bell to a cheezy soft porn flick?

(SUPRCHUNK) What's even scarier is that she's going back.

(Moot) Super, What'd you think of Beavis and Butthead watching the video for "Package Thief?"

(SUPRCHUNK) moot: it's certainly something to show the grandkids. (Not that any of us are pregnant, well, some of us are.)

(RandyJ) Was that Jon I saw with Magnapop?

(SUPRCHUNK) Randy: No, that was his twin brother Samson.

(RandyJ) Samson rocks!

(Arch0Loaf) Superchunk: Are you going to be doing this when you're, like, 50 years old? Like the Stones?

(SUPRCHUNK) A0Loaf: Are we going to still be doing this interview? It feels like it.

(petter) Would you name any song "Petter is a great guy" just so that I know you're really Superchunk?

(SUPRCHUNK) No.

(vill) How was China Town and all that Ginseng and deer-tail extract stuff?

(SUPRCHUNK) vill: We're all still high on mysterious roots.

(jessamine) Do you guys ever tour Africa?

(SUPRCHUNK) jessamine: Yeah, we tour Africa all the time, you just never hear about it in Random Notes. Actually, we played Sun City when Run DMC wouldn't.

(RandyJ) Do you still have the puppets from the "Package Thief" video?

(SUPRCHUNK) Those puppets were burned in effigy at a Dillon Fence show.

(swirly) What's your favorite versus song?

(SUPRCHUNK) swirly: That good one on the record.

(swirly) Oh yeah! :)

(petter) My favorite chunker, is the chubby guy down the street.

(SUPRCHUNK) petter: We kicked Willard Scott out of the band weeks ago!

(swirly) Super, Do you bring crayons with you when you tour?

(SUPRCHUNK) swirly: Crayons are for dumb little kids.

(swirly) :(

(_state_) mac : What did you think about the Versus show at the Point in Atlanta, I bumped into you there.

(SUPRCHUNK) state: Versus was great as usual, what about Built to Spill, though?

(Arch0Loaf) Would you guys ever do an acoustic set?

(SUPRCHUNK) aoloaf: We have done acoustic sets in record stores and things, but Laura's not too keen on it.

(Lumpy) Give me your comments on the world.

(SUPRCHUNK) Lumpy: I'm not at liberty to divulge our views on the world just now.

(swirly) Well, thanks for coming out Superchunk, at least you don't have to do this again.

(SUPRCHUNK) OK, bye guys and gals.

(TheEnd) Thanks SUPERCHUNK!
