Jon Wurster. He's the man of steel. Dressed in blue spandex and a red cape, he flies through the sky and...wait, that's Superman. Well, Jon is super and he is a man. Maybe he is Superman. Maybe he finds time to save the world when he's not drumming for Superchunk, running his comedy label called Stereolaffs or answering our Pointless Questions...

-- Heidi Anne-Noel
