I am not sure how I am going to handle all the media I got from Coachella this year. But I figured I would give a gift to OceanRain who is a big fan of SuperChunk. I am not sure of the song title but I love the guitar harmony in the middle of it. The second guitarist ripped the whole time with new strings that he said were cheaper than normal and “felt/played like spaghetti”….sounded f-king great to me but what do I know?
