Skinny Glasses Girl

Biography:

Though Mac McCaughan has plenty to keep him busy -- playing in Superchunk, managing the successful Merge Records -- he also spends time recording under the moniker of Portastatic. In 1993, Tom Scharpling of 18 Wheeler Records asked to release some of McCaughan's lo-fi, four-track Portastudio recordings; his request was met by the singles "Sandals with White Socks" and "Starter".

Since then the side-project has recorded (using a variety of lineups) six full length albums, several singles, and two movie soundtracks.

East Texas has not seen you for a while and nor have I

VERSE
E Asus2
Sitting outside a door,
E Asus2
could be yours I don't know

We shared that space on the floor
E Asus2
It's usually making you pale
E Asus2
Your sillhouette comes back to ? (fouth-air?)
