Catching Up With… J Mascis

Reticent in person, he's downright talkative in song, delivering deceptively incisive lyrics in that instantly recognizable laidback drawl of his and writing witty, extensive essays with his guitar.  read more

Lou Barlow and Dinosaur Jr. Tour Diary - Tempe/Solana Beach - 11/3-4/09

Tempe, AZ 11/3 8 am flight to Phoenix from the Burbank, Bob Hope Airport, the perfect airport: small, boarding planes off the tarmac up a staircase always feels romantic, somehow. Though the feelings I have leaving home again are far from wistful. Phoenix is in the Desert; it makes Los Angeles look like a rain forest....  read more

Lou Barlow and Dinosaur Jr. Tour Diary - Boulder/Fort Collins/Halloween - 10/29-31/09

Boulder 10/29 Dinosaur Jr’s very complicated history somehow all comes together here, in Boulder, Colorado. It’s interesting that it is virtually halfway between Massachusetts and my new home in California.

Murph is wandering on the frontage road attached to his cell phone (I worry that he’ll be hit by a speeding pickup truck; he’s occasionally oblivious to traffic.) We congregate in the front lounge and have a pretty good time considering we are stranded. Dead Man (Jim Jarmusch film with Johnny Depp) is on the DVD player and we appreciate Neil...  read more

Lou Barlow and Dinosaur Jr. Tour Diary - Omaha, NE - 10/27/09

The building complex for the club (The Slowdown) contains an Urban Outfitters, an American Apparel and the offices of Saddle Creek records, among other left of the dial businesses. A testament to how well Bright Eyes and his compatriots have done? I don’t know and don’t ask anyone about it....  read more

The Hold Steady, Of Montreal and Dinosaur Jr Help Insound Introduce Mixtape T-Shirt

Over the past couple decades, the mixtape has manifested itself in different forms. Originating as a cassette tape, the word eventually evolved to include the CD, so perhaps it’s not too surprising that its next avenue could be the t-shirt....  read more
