Superchunk covers The Cure

A.V. Club Undercover: 33 bands cover 33 songs, 1 round, poorly ventilated room

Superchunk's last album, Here's To Shutting Up, came out in 2001. (For those keeping score, that's a long-ass time ago.) The legendary Chapel Hill band has played a few gigs in the last decade, but mostly kept quiet, so when a Chicago show was announced, we made a collective little "squee" noise. And since we're obviously big fans ("Detroit Has A Skyline" is on the master Undercover list!), we finagled and asked nicely and begged the quartet to drop by and record a song for us. Superchunk chose "In Between Days" by The Cure, and made it--as you'll see--their own. Oh, and in case you hadn't heard: There's a new Superchunk album just around the corner, called Majesty Shredding. It comes out September 14 on Merge, and it's a rocker in that old-school Superchunk way. Get excited.

pick your five favorite undercovers

Since so many commenters took it upon themselves to rank the Undercover performances, we figured we’d make the process semi-official as the series comes to a close. Here's how the voting will work: You must be a registered user. Because we know how painful it will be to choose just one favorite, you’ll pick up to five. Your top choice will get 5 points, your second choice 4 points, and so on. You'll be able to vote more than once, but only your latest vote will count toward the tally. Voting will end September 7. The winner will receive nothing except bragging rights. Feel free to make up your own special categories in the comments section. I'll get you started: Ballsiest performance that brought out the haters: Cursive.
