Giveaway: Papercuts’ ‘Mockingbird’ reissue, now on vinyl!
March 7, 2012
Antenna Farm Records has reissued Papercuts first proper album, Mockingbird, and we want to give you a copy. Yes, you!
This ain’t just a reissue, it’s a deluxe reissue. For one thing, it’s on vinyl — for the first time ever, as Mockingbird was originally released only on CD in 2004. Second, Antenna Farm got every aspect of the reissue just right, from having California “vinyl auteur” JJ Golden cut the lacquer so that the dynamics of the album would leap right off your turntable, to getting Papercuts mastermind Jason Quever to go back into the Pan American Recording studio vaults to find two unreleased Mockingbird-era tracks, “Shy” and “Lost Parade”, which are included with the LP as a bonus 7″. Then the label pressed it all on blue 140-gram vinyl and limited it to just 500 copies.
Mockingbird put Papercuts on the map. The album’s lush, woozy folk-pop — exemplified in tracks like “Poor and Free”, which you can hear below — caught the attention of Vetiver’s Andy Cabic, who would later take Papercuts on the road, and Devendra Banhardt, and the duo would eventually sign Quever to their label, Gnomonsong, for 2007′s Can’t Go Back and 2009′s You Can Have What You Want. Hit the jump to find out how you can win a copy of the Mockingbird LP! Contest is closed; congrats to Garrett Bentley!

Videos: Six acoustic Mac McCaughan performances (including Spoon, Jay Reatard, and Springsteen covers)
February 16, 2012
Over the past two decades, Superchunk has crafted some classic fuzz pop gems, but Mac McCaughan can also be a compelling acoustic performer. We’re proud to present a rare solo show for McCaughan at the Swedish American Hall on Thursday, February 23rd (7pm, $15-17, 21+, Buy Tickets) as part of Noise Pop 20.
In addition to Superchunk and Portastatic classics, I suspect Mac will also break out some covers next Thursday, as the clips collected here show him equally adept at songs from a range of artists. In addition, the videos here show that Superchunk songs reveal new details when they’re performed acoustically.
We also have a pair of tickets to give away to this show! To enter, e-mail contest[at]thebaybridged.com with the subject line “Mac Giveaway” and an answer to this question: “What’s one song you’d love to hear Mac cover and why?” Enjoy some more live acoustic performances below.
