I’m touched…

Everytime I listen to Dino/J I feel better and happier. It’s really weird, nothing made me feel this way exept for Dinosaur… You?

yes I know this is a noobish thread, but I had to say this…

i felt the same way back in my punk days… dino j. was always a happy change without a sacrafice of quality on the musicals… little fury things is still my favorite most happy song….. i wish i knew how to say that in japanese .. it probably sounds cooler then english. oringinal members-day!!!

I’m generally a happy guy, but for pick-me-uppers the Meat Puppets are at the top of my list. The deep/strange/etc lyrics and twanginess of the music just makes it hard to be depressed.

As for Dinosaur Jr, I’m not sure if it’s ever really cheered me up, but it’s helped get me through some tough times. Keep in mind that I haven’t been into them for all that long, and that I generally don’t turn to music as a primary means to pick me up. Not to say it doesn’t help, though.

EDIT: Now that I think more about it, Green Mind does cheer me up a bit from time to time primarily due to the overall feel of the album as well as some personal memories that I associate with the album.

Yeah, the music is pretty powerful. The old stuff brings back memories. a phrase like "gotta connect with you girl, but forget how"….god, I could tear up thinking about that song.

The new stuff is just like…I don’t know. It sounds like Dinosaur and just makes me smile. Most reunions suck, unfortunately. This one, so far so good! I get up just about everyday and listen to the new tunes before doing anything.
