AV Undercover is one of my favorite parts about Tuesday. At the beginning of each series, AV Club editors pick a bunch of songs and enlist bands to pick and perform the track however they please The end products range from delightful to terrifying. Sometimes bands put their own spin on classic songs and ther times they do not. Filmed in their Chicago offices, there have been a lot of gems (including Frightened Rabbit performing "Confetti", The Swell Season performing "Two Headed Boy", and Young the Giant performing "Ignition (Remix)".
Each summer, AV Club takes a break from their initial list of covers and lets the band choose a song that fits in with the season (ie. summer). Below is a video of Mac from Superchunk performing Jonathan Richman's "That Summer Feeling." He is joined by Kelly Hogan for this song that clocks in at over 6 minutes.

Also, check out the new Superchunk song "Me & You & Jackie Mittoo" on Pitchfork. Their new album, "I Hate Music," will be out in August. If you don't already listen to Superchuck, they are definitely worth checking out. They write some of the catchiest songs ever.
