00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:12.480
Kalaroga Shark Media. Welcome back to Hitmaker Chronicles countdown of

2
00:00:12.560 --> 00:00:15.599
the top twenty songs of the summer, as voted by

3
00:00:15.599 --> 00:00:19.839
the staff of Calaroga Shark Media. I'm your host, Garret

4
00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:26.320
Fisher coming in at number eighteen. We're diving into super

5
00:00:26.440 --> 00:00:30.480
Chunk's bittersweet indie rocker this Summer, a twenty twelve gem

6
00:00:30.519 --> 00:00:34.119
that captures both the season's euphoria and its fleeting nature.

7
00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:37.920
We'll trace how these Chapel Hill indie pioneers evolved from

8
00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:42.520
scrappy punk upstarts to elder statesmen of alternative rock releasing

9
00:00:42.560 --> 00:00:46.679
the perfect summer anthem. Just as Call Me Maybe dominated

10
00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:52.039
airwaves and the Avengers assembled in theaters, grab your sunglasses.

11
00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:56.880
We're heading into the heart of indie summer Summer twenty twelve,

12
00:00:57.119 --> 00:00:59.759
and while most of America was either dancing to Carli

13
00:00:59.799 --> 00:01:02.640
ray Jepson or debating whether they should see the Dark

14
00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:07.120
Knight Rises again, indie rock fans were experiencing something special.

15
00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:11.719
Super Chunk, those pioneers of nineteen nineties indie rock, had

16
00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:16.439
dropped a summer single that perfectly balanced nostalgia and immediacy.

17
00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:19.640
This summer wasn't a massive chart hit, but for those

18
00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:23.640
who found it, the track became the season's ultimate bittersweet anthem,

19
00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:27.959
a song that understood summer isn't just about celebration, but

20
00:01:28.040 --> 00:01:32.599
about the poignant awareness that perfect moments can't last. Coming

21
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:35.000
in at number eighteen on our countdown of the top

22
00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:37.519
twenty songs of the Summer, as voted by the staff

23
00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:42.359
of Calaroga Shark Media, Superchunks This Summer represents that perfect

24
00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:45.959
intersection of seasonal joy and emotional depth that the best

25
00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:50.640
summer songs achieve. Before they were crafting the perfect summer

26
00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:54.000
indie anthem, super Chunk were four friends from Chapel Hill,

27
00:01:54.040 --> 00:01:57.879
North Carolina, who helped define what American independent rock would

28
00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:01.200
sound like in the nineteen nineties. Formed in nineteen eighty

29
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:06.280
nine by Mac McConn vocals, guitar, Laura Balance bass, Jim

30
00:02:06.319 --> 00:02:10.319
Wilber guitar, and Chuck Garrison, later replaced by John Worster

31
00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:15.039
on drums, the band emerged from North Carolina's vibrant college

32
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:18.000
rock scene with a sound that blended punk energy with

33
00:02:18.120 --> 00:02:23.080
pop hooks and introspective lyrics. What distinguished Superchunk beyond their

34
00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:28.039
music was their fierce independence and diy Ethos. When major

35
00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:32.039
labels came calling after their early success, McConn and Balance

36
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:35.319
opted instead to release their music through their own label,

37
00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:39.520
Merge Records, which they'd founded in nineteen eighty nine. This

38
00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:43.199
decision not only preserved their creative freedom, but also laid

39
00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:46.639
the foundation for one of indie rock's most important record labels,

40
00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:50.479
which would later release music by artists like Arcade, Fire Spoon,

41
00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:54.439
and The Mountain Goats. Throughout the nineteen nineties, super Chunk

42
00:02:54.479 --> 00:02:58.439
released a series of increasingly accomplished albums, from the raw

43
00:02:58.599 --> 00:03:02.159
energy of their self titled to the more refined power

44
00:03:02.199 --> 00:03:05.000
pop of Foolish and Here's where the Strings Come In.

45
00:03:05.719 --> 00:03:09.879
Their songs combined punk velocity with emotional vulnerability, creating a

46
00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:12.400
blueprint for the indie rock sound that would flourish in

47
00:03:12.439 --> 00:03:15.800
the decades to come. After a period of reduced activity

48
00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:18.719
in the two thousands, as band members focused on family

49
00:03:18.759 --> 00:03:22.879
and other projects, including the growing demands of running Merge Records,

50
00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:27.759
Superchunk returned in full force with twenty ten's Majesty Shredding,

51
00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:30.919
an album that proved they hadn't lost a step during

52
00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:34.879
their semi hiatus. Two years later, they released the This

53
00:03:35.039 --> 00:03:39.360
summer single, a standalone track that captured everything special about

54
00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:42.400
the band in just over three minutes of indie rock perfection.

55
00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:46.360
So what makes This Summer such an effective seasonal anthem?

56
00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:50.840
Let's break it down Musically, This Summer achieves that rare

57
00:03:50.919 --> 00:03:53.960
balance between energy and melancholy that makes for the most

58
00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:57.680
affecting summer songs. The track opens with a clean guitar

59
00:03:57.759 --> 00:04:03.280
figure that immediately establishes its so rummery credentials. Bright, slightly wistful,

60
00:04:03.719 --> 00:04:07.400
instantly engaging. When the full band kicks in, they bring

61
00:04:07.479 --> 00:04:12.919
that signature superchunk sound, driving drums from John Worster, Laura Balances,

62
00:04:12.960 --> 00:04:15.840
melodic bass work, and layers of guitars that manage to

63
00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:20.639
sound both aggressive and pretty simultaneously. The production by Scott

64
00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:24.399
Salter captures the band's live energy while adding subtle touches

65
00:04:24.519 --> 00:04:28.839
that enhance the song's emotional resonance. The guitars shimmer with

66
00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:32.199
just the right amount of reverb, creating a sonic landscape

67
00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:37.360
that feels expansive like a summer sky. The rhythm section

68
00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:41.000
is recorded with a warmth and presence that grounds the track,

69
00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:45.319
while mcconn's voice sits perfectly in the mix. Clear enough

70
00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:48.920
to convey the lyrics nuances, but integrated enough to feel

71
00:04:48.920 --> 00:04:52.759
like another instrument in the band's cohesive sound. What makes

72
00:04:52.759 --> 00:04:56.439
the instrumentation particularly effective is how it evolves throughout the song,

73
00:04:56.639 --> 00:05:01.319
building intensity as it progresses. The relative restrained versus give

74
00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:04.480
way to a more cathartic chorus, with the guitars becoming

75
00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:08.759
more aggressive and the drums more insistent. This dynamic shift

76
00:05:08.879 --> 00:05:11.879
mirrors the emotional arc of the lyrics, which move between

77
00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:16.160
fond memories and present longing. The structure of This Summer

78
00:05:16.279 --> 00:05:19.879
follows a relatively traditional verse chorus format, but with a

79
00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:24.480
bridge section that provides both contrast and escalation. The song

80
00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:29.360
begins with an instrumental introduction that establishes its melodic foundations

81
00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:33.759
before the verses introduce the narrative elements. Each verse builds

82
00:05:33.839 --> 00:05:36.759
naturally to a chorus that delivers both the title phrase

83
00:05:36.839 --> 00:05:40.879
and the song's emotional core. What distinguishes the structure is

84
00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:43.920
its efficiency. There's not a wasted moment in the song's

85
00:05:43.959 --> 00:05:48.199
three minutes and change. Each section accomplishes exactly what it

86
00:05:48.279 --> 00:05:51.959
needs to, creating a satisfying arc that feels complete without

87
00:05:52.040 --> 00:05:57.120
overstaying its welcome. This concision is particularly impressive given the

88
00:05:57.240 --> 00:06:01.519
emotional territory the song covers, from some specific summer memories

89
00:06:01.560 --> 00:06:05.319
to broader reflections on time and loss. The bridge provides

90
00:06:05.319 --> 00:06:08.120
a moment of relative calm before the song's final most

91
00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:12.240
intense chorus, a structural choice that enhances the emotional impact

92
00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:17.800
of both sections. This thoughtful arrangement demonstrates the band's veteran craftsmanship.

93
00:06:18.279 --> 00:06:21.319
After more than two decades of songwriting, they know exactly

94
00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:25.120
how to structure a song for maximum emotional effect. The

95
00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:28.519
lyrics of This Summer showcase Macmacon's gift for finding the

96
00:06:28.600 --> 00:06:32.720
universal in the specific. The song builds its narrative around

97
00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:37.519
concrete summer images, the heat, the water, nighttime adventures, while

98
00:06:37.560 --> 00:06:41.560
expanding into reflections on memory and how we process experiences

99
00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:45.759
as they're happening. Without directly quoting specific lyrics, I can

100
00:06:45.839 --> 00:06:48.279
note that the song deals with themes of trying to

101
00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:52.199
capture moments even as they're slipping away, the bitter sweet

102
00:06:52.240 --> 00:06:56.480
awareness that comes from knowing something beautiful is temporary. What

103
00:06:56.600 --> 00:06:59.879
elevates the lyrics beyond simple nostalgia is their acknowledgment of

104
00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:04.519
how memory works, how we're often already processing experiences as

105
00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:09.120
memories even as we're living them, especially during heightened seasonal

106
00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:13.040
moments like summer adventures. This meta awareness gives the song

107
00:07:13.160 --> 00:07:16.439
a depth that resonates with listeners who understand that Summer's

108
00:07:16.439 --> 00:07:20.360
magic comes partly from its fleeting nature. The emotional center

109
00:07:20.399 --> 00:07:23.439
of the song revolves around the tension between enjoying the

110
00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:27.800
moment and knowing it's already becoming a memory, a particularly

111
00:07:27.879 --> 00:07:31.040
resonant theme for Summer, which always carries that awareness of

112
00:07:31.079 --> 00:07:36.800
September's approach. Mccon captures this complex emotional state without becoming

113
00:07:36.839 --> 00:07:41.759
overly sentimental or cynical, striking a perfect balance between celebration

114
00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:46.959
and melancholy. What truly makes this Summer special is mccwan's

115
00:07:47.079 --> 00:07:52.240
vocal performance, which combines punk energy with emotional nuance. His

116
00:07:52.360 --> 00:07:57.439
distinctive voice, slightly nasal but incredibly expressive, has always been

117
00:07:57.480 --> 00:08:02.240
one of Superchunk's most identifiable element, capable of conveying both

118
00:08:02.319 --> 00:08:07.000
exuberance and vulnerability. In this track, he navigates the shifts

119
00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:10.319
between fond recollection and present longing with the skill of

120
00:08:10.360 --> 00:08:14.199
a singer who spent decades honing his craft. The band's

121
00:08:14.199 --> 00:08:18.560
performance matches mccawn's emotional delivery, creating a perfect musical setting

122
00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:23.279
for the lyrical content. Worster's drums provide both propulsion and punctuation,

123
00:08:23.680 --> 00:08:27.680
driving the song forward while emphasizing key emotional moments. Wilbur

124
00:08:27.720 --> 00:08:31.560
and mccon's intertwined guitars create textures that shift from shimmering

125
00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:36.279
to distorted, mirroring Summer's ability to contain both blissful relaxation

126
00:08:36.600 --> 00:08:41.519
and intense experience. Balance's basswork provides the melodic foundation that

127
00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:46.399
ties these elements together, creating a cohesive sound that's unmistakably superchunk,

128
00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:51.320
yet perfectly suited to the song's specific emotional landscape. More

129
00:08:51.360 --> 00:09:06.639
in a Moment, This Summer was released as a standalone

130
00:09:06.639 --> 00:09:10.399
single in July twenty twelve, backed with a cover of

131
00:09:10.519 --> 00:09:13.600
The Banana's Cruel Summer, not to be confused with the

132
00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:16.879
Bananarama hit of the same name. While it didn't crack

133
00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:20.039
the mainstream charts dominated by pop hits like Call Me

134
00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:23.679
Maybe and Somebody That I Used to Know, the song

135
00:09:23.720 --> 00:09:27.320
found its audience among indie rock fans, becoming a staple

136
00:09:27.360 --> 00:09:30.639
of summer playlist for those in the know. To fully

137
00:09:30.679 --> 00:09:33.960
appreciate the context of This Summer, we need to look

138
00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:38.159
at the broader cultural landscape of summer twenty twelve, a

139
00:09:38.320 --> 00:09:43.879
season marked by both blockbuster spectacles and emerging cultural shifts.

140
00:09:44.840 --> 00:09:48.639
The summer movie landscape was dominated by superhero films, with

141
00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:53.159
The Avengers becoming the year's biggest hit, grossing over one

142
00:09:53.240 --> 00:09:57.240
point five billion dollars worldwide and cementing Marvel's cinematic universe

143
00:09:57.320 --> 00:10:02.159
as a cultural force. For Nolan concluded his Batman trilogy

144
00:10:02.240 --> 00:10:05.440
with The Dark Night Rises, while The Amazing Spider Man

145
00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:10.159
offered a reboot of the Web Slingers story. Beyond superheroes,

146
00:10:10.200 --> 00:10:14.480
films like Magic, Mike, Ted, and Moonrise Kingdom provided alternative

147
00:10:14.480 --> 00:10:18.879
summer entertainment. Musically, the charts were dominated by pop hits

148
00:10:18.960 --> 00:10:23.919
like Carly ray Jepson's Inescapable, Call Me, Maybe, Goat's Somebody

149
00:10:23.919 --> 00:10:27.159
That I Used to Know, and Katy Perry's Wide Await.

150
00:10:28.120 --> 00:10:32.639
Electronic dance music was increasingly influencing mainstream pop, with tracks

151
00:10:32.679 --> 00:10:36.440
from artists like David Ghetta and Calvin Harris becoming radio staples.

152
00:10:36.960 --> 00:10:40.519
In the rock world, bands like Fun were crossing over

153
00:10:40.559 --> 00:10:43.519
to pop audiences with hits like We Are Young and

154
00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:46.840
Some Nights. Television was in the midst of what many

155
00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:51.559
call its Golden Age, with shows like Breaking Bad, Mad Men,

156
00:10:51.960 --> 00:10:55.799
and Game of Thrones redefining what was possible in the medium.

157
00:10:56.320 --> 00:10:59.840
Summer twenty twelve also saw the London Olympics, with Michael

158
00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:03.519
Phelps becoming the most decorated Olympian of all time and

159
00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:07.279
Usain Bolt defending his title as the world's fastest man.

160
00:11:08.200 --> 00:11:13.480
Technology was rapidly evolving, with smartphones becoming increasingly ubiquitous. The

161
00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:17.279
iPhone five would be released that September. Social media was

162
00:11:17.320 --> 00:11:21.159
firmly established in everyday life, with Facebook reaching one billion

163
00:11:21.240 --> 00:11:25.720
users and Instagram, which Facebook had just acquired, growing rapidly.

164
00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:30.240
Digital streaming was transforming music consumption, though vinyl sales were

165
00:11:30.279 --> 00:11:33.799
also beginning the resurgence that would continue throughout the decade.

166
00:11:34.320 --> 00:11:37.879
This was the landscape in which Superchunk released this summer,

167
00:11:38.360 --> 00:11:41.519
a period when indie rock was maintaining its cultural relevance

168
00:11:41.639 --> 00:11:45.399
even as pop and electronic music dominated the charts. The

169
00:11:45.519 --> 00:11:49.919
songs released through Merge Records exemplified how independent music had

170
00:11:49.960 --> 00:11:55.200
created sustainable, alternative infrastructures, allowing artists to reach their audiences

171
00:11:55.360 --> 00:12:00.759
without major label support. For Superchunk themselves, this summer represented

172
00:12:00.799 --> 00:12:04.879
a continued creative renaissance following their return to regular activity

173
00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:09.559
with Majesty Shredding. The single demonstrated that after more than

174
00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:12.799
twenty years as a band, they remained capable of creating

175
00:12:12.879 --> 00:12:16.679
music that felt both fresh and true to their established identity.

176
00:12:17.360 --> 00:12:20.559
They would continue this strong late career run with twenty

177
00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:24.960
thirteen's I Hate Music and twenty eighteens Is Politically Charged.

178
00:12:25.120 --> 00:12:28.240
What a time to be alive, albums that proved indie

179
00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:32.120
rock veterans could age gracefully without losing their edge or relevance.

180
00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:38.080
The song's influence extends beyond Superchunk's own career. As elder

181
00:12:38.120 --> 00:12:41.000
statesmen of indie rock who had maintained both their creative

182
00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:44.919
credibility and their ethical stance throughout decades of industry changes,

183
00:12:45.200 --> 00:12:48.279
the band provided a model for longevity in a notoriously

184
00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:52.840
fickle business. Their successful navigation of the transition from young

185
00:12:52.879 --> 00:12:56.759
punks to middle aged rockers without embarrassing attempts to seem

186
00:12:56.799 --> 00:13:00.320
younger than they were or falling into nostalgia act status,

187
00:13:00.720 --> 00:13:04.200
created a template for how indie artists could evolve over

188
00:13:04.360 --> 00:13:09.440
long careers. More broadly, this summer exemplifies how seasonal songs

189
00:13:09.480 --> 00:13:14.279
can transcend mere atmosphere to address deeper emotional truths. By

190
00:13:14.320 --> 00:13:18.440
acknowledging the complexity of summer experiences, the joy and the melancholy,

191
00:13:18.639 --> 00:13:22.519
the intensity and the impermanence, the song creates a more

192
00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:26.720
honest and ultimately more satisfying summer anthem than those that

193
00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:31.320
focus solely on celebration. Looking back on This Summer today,

194
00:13:31.399 --> 00:13:35.279
it continues to resonate because it captures something fundamental about

195
00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:39.600
how we experience not just summer, but life itself, the

196
00:13:39.720 --> 00:13:43.240
awareness that our most perfect moments are already becoming memories

197
00:13:43.279 --> 00:13:46.919
even as we live them. The song's emotional honesty and

198
00:13:47.080 --> 00:13:51.279
musical craftsmanship have allowed it to age beautifully, remaining as

199
00:13:51.279 --> 00:13:54.879
affecting now as it was when released. What makes This

200
00:13:55.000 --> 00:13:59.639
Summer the quintessential indie rock summer anthem is precisely its

201
00:13:59.639 --> 00:14:03.399
refuse to simplify the season into mere fun and games.

202
00:14:04.240 --> 00:14:08.080
By addressing summer's inherent bitter sweetness, its status is the

203
00:14:08.080 --> 00:14:11.480
season most burdened with expectations and most poignantly aware of

204
00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:15.120
its own passing. Super Chunk created something that speaks to

205
00:14:15.159 --> 00:14:19.600
the full emotional spectrum of summer experiences. From carefree adventures

206
00:14:19.639 --> 00:14:23.320
to melancholy reflection. So as we continue our countdown of

207
00:14:23.360 --> 00:14:25.559
the top twenty songs of the summer at number eighteen,

208
00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:29.320
turn up this summer and let Superchunk's Perfect Indie Rock

209
00:14:29.399 --> 00:14:33.200
remind you that the best summer songs aren't just about escapism.

210
00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:37.559
They're about experiencing each moment fully with the awareness that

211
00:14:37.720 --> 00:14:41.159
makes those moments all the more precious for their impermanence.

212
00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:45.679
Because this Summer isn't just a song. It's a celebration

213
00:14:45.759 --> 00:14:49.440
of how music helps us process our experiences, a testament

214
00:14:49.440 --> 00:14:53.440
to indie rock's emotional capacity, and a reminder that sometimes

215
00:14:53.480 --> 00:14:56.679
the most resonant summer anthems are the ones that acknowledge

216
00:14:56.679 --> 00:15:01.360
the season's shadows alongside its light. A decade later, it

217
00:15:01.480 --> 00:15:05.799
still captures that complex summer feeling with remarkable precision, which

218
00:15:05.840 --> 00:15:08.840
is why it deserves its place in our summer song's pantheon.

219
00:15:09.720 --> 00:15:13.399
