The Chapel Hill music scene, which was supposed to be the
Next Big Thing since forever (I think people especially
expected big things from Superchunk), but really just
fizzled.  Only Hootie and the Blowfish ever got the big
recording contract.  Argh.

At least The Connells had a kind-of major hit with "74/75".
