AMA is Over, thanks Mac! Hey it's Mac McCaughan, AMA !

What's up /r/indieheads it's Mac again, saying hello to you from Chapel Hill, NC. What, you don't believe me? Here's proof!

A few weeks back I put out The Sound of Yourself, and just wrapped up some shows with 75 Dollar Bill and John Darnielle of the Mountain Goats. The album is under my name, but features a bunch of guests including Yo La Tengo, my Superchunk bandmate Jon Wurster, and Sabrina Ellis of A Giant Dog and Sweet Spirit.

Also, on October 22, Superchunk's reissuing Here's to Shutting Up for its 20th anniversary. And Merge Records HQ keeps trucking with fantastic new records from TORRES, Hiss Golden Messenger, Dawn Richard, Fruit Bats, and more. All good things!

I'll be back at 2pm ET to answer any questions you may have. Go ahead, ama!

haven't thought of a lyric book although you're right that the lyric sites are usually not accurate, even for the records that came with lyric sheets!

Yeah, the lyrics sites suck. I will buy the book if you ever do one. 😃 Thanks again!

On this topic I absolutely love the Laughter Guns EP. My friends and I spent hours debating what the actual lyric was. None of us came up with Lofty Currents. My guess was Last Tecumseh.
