</p> <p>Today brings together another pair of local favorites, <a href="http://jkutchma.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jason Kutchma</a> and <a href="http://www.superchunk.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Superchunk</a>. As soon as Kutchma mentioned the song he’d chosen to cover back in July, I instantly became excited—it’s one of those that you can hear in your head as soon as it’s mentioned. </p> <p>“When the first 20 seconds burst from the speakers, my heart races,” Kutchma explains of the original. “I heard it in my twenties and it made me feel like a teenager. It had the same effect when I hit my thirties. One day I tried figuring how to play the damn thing and, though it has many pop song qualities that make it memorable, its twists make it enduring—the incredible soaring pre-verse guitar playing over atypical chord changes, the chugging rhythm masking a time change, loose guitars hiding an expanded bridge. ‘Hyper Enough’ is ridiculously catchy but not simplistically catchy. There’s personality and identity all through the song but it’s done with ease.”</p> <p>And so we present Jason Kutchma covering <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swm-hj-SfOg" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Superchunk’s “Hyper Enough.”</a> Enjoy.</p>
