Great cover of a perfect song.

this sounds exactly like the original but better quality.

I've got no complaints with that though. Superchunk themselves already released a 7" with two extra versions of the song that were enough of a departure to the original that little things like this just seem like a warm hug to the band they are covering.

With the exclusion of the vocals, it sounds just like the original

Les Savy Fav did a way better cover
