Dinosaur Jr.
By Cam LindsayWhat are you up to?
Just getting ready to tour with Dinosaur, doing interviews.What are your current fixations?
Right now I’m watching Dawson’s Creek; I’m on the fifth season. I liked the first season a lot, but the second one was horrible, and then I just kept watching it. This fifth one is really good. I think it definitely goes up and down.Why do you live where you do?
I live in Amherst, Massachusetts, and I guess I was born here and just live here. I’ve traveled so much in my live that I never feel the need to go anywhere. I mean, I lived in New York for a long time, but I still always come back to Amherst. I can’t recommend it though. A lot of people have moved here, which seems strange, but I’m happy about it. I wouldn’t want to stick my neck out and recommend it though.Name something you consider a mind-altering work of art:
The movie Crumb. I guess to see people who are so smart and so fucked up makes me feel better about myself. I take some comfort in these people that are smarter and more fucked up than I am.What has been your most memorable or inspirational gig and why?
This Bad Brains concert I saw in Boston around 1981. They got there late, so they only played for 20 minutes and just did their hardcore songs. I didn’t really care about their reggae songs, so it was great for me.What have been your career highs and lows?
I guess both were Tony Bennett Unplugged. The high was doing it and playing with him and then the low point was that they decided to edit down the show because the MTV audience couldn’t handle that long of Tony Bennett, so I got edited out.What’s the meanest thing ever said to you before, during or after a gig?
“I really liked (a certain song), it’s a shame you had to ruin it with your voice.â€That was great. I really enjoyed it
Did he really gave those long answers?
"I like that I haven’t committed suicide yet." Thats his best trait…
I always thought J put Lou’s tunes on YLOAM just to be nice. But this time I guess it’s more like J gave Lou a real chance to improve his skills. And he really did.
I’ve never read an interview where J opened up so much. Makes me doubt it was really him answering the questions. Thanks for posting this!

He just seems weirder and weirder the more I get to know about him…….fantastic!
Yeah like I said before, as long as our strange quirks don’t land us in the slammer, I guess all is well.
I find it all so funny, I had never heard of the Gilmore Girls until Freakscene.The funny thing is I find my J Mascis preoccupation somehow less lame than his tv thing, which is really funny to me.
Even my kids, (the pre-teens) were like Dawson’s Creek……..that has to be an inside joke, but I think Tom in Chicago
pretty much threw a "stop stick" into that direction of thought.I might just go and watch the Gilmore Girls myself now someday soon.
