Hi, all. Just recently discovered DJ after being in a musical coma for so many years. Have read more than once over the past year or so that Doug Marsch of Built to Spill (another recent discovery) considers J a major influence in his music. Finally got a copy of Ear-Bleeding Country and liked what I heard. "Beyond" is in heavy rotation currently. Now I have to get all the previous stuff in their entirety! What’s sort of funny/ interesting/whatever is that I was living in western Mass. just around the time J and Lou were getting it going – – didn’t know they were out there (I said I was in a coma, right?). Well, better late than never! Not sure I’ll contribute much to these proceedings, but I’ve enjoyed reading the posts of DJ enthusiasts. Thanks for humoring an old man!
