How can you have a mix called "Come Pick Me Up" without the Superchunk track of the same name? Or perhaps you are evoking the feeling of that song. I dunno.

Well, my only Superchunk is on the first mix-tape Nathan ever gave me. I remember listening to it on my trip to the Kanapolis K-mart to buy my girlfriend a Christmas present. That was Christmas 1994. It also had my first Sugarcubes song and a song call "Smash Vietnamese" from a band called God. A song of few words. I understood "bastard" a few times toward the beginning and the ending two minutes were "war is pain/hell to pay" over and over. I miss that song.

It's called "Come Pick Me Up" for the Ryan Adams song in the middle of the first side. Made this one for Amber, and it's kind of a note about how I only ever saw her when she came to pick me up. No car, no license, just time walking to work and back and thinking too much. In Charlotte for six months and moody, I looked through Molly's music in the living room and hammered this together over a weekend.
