This version slows down the original’s headlong rhythm-section rush, and morphs into a drifting, contemplative porch-swinger. The tempo is only partly responsible for the change; there’s also the fact that you can hear Mac McCaughan’s voice more clearly, and what sounds like vibes have replaced the rumbling drums. Superchunk’s trademark guitar fuzz-and-buzz has become less obvious in recent years, revealing the musicians’ more subtle side, and this little ditty -- electric or acoustic -- is a prime example of their songcraft.       Jackie McCarthy     Jackie McCarthy is the former music editor of Seattle Weekly, and writes about music and other topics for CMJ New Music Monthly, Seattle Weekly, and Resonance on paper, and CDNow and Wall of Sound on the web.   Click here for rules!          Average Rating: One Star Two Stars Three Stars Four Stars Five Stars                                   Enter a review to win an iShriek MP3 Player!   Slow tempo tune with an ethereal vibraphone swirling over the vocals. I love this tune. Its almost a waltz, but not quite. Pop this one up when you wake up late on a sleep Sunday morning. It will be perfect. I almost forgot to listen to the lyrics! Yasmin
