Those two songs sound great. Thanks alot. When will this one be released?

[kracked873]

not exactly sure sometime in september.. cool that it was recorded in J’s house where they recorded beyond. i like this quote:

They decided to work in Dinosaur Jr.’s J Mascis’ Bisquiteen studio (the top floor in J’s Amherst house actually) where Dino did their Beyond album. This worked out very nicely as it allowed Thurston to yell down the stairs every time he needed a shredding guitar solo and J would trundle up, plug in and BURN.

I like this part:

Luckily Mascis was around the house; he wasn’t on tour, and so every once in a while with one of the songs I would hear something where we really just needed some shredding lead, and I would go downstairs and find him, and he’d be, like, "Yeah, okay…I’ll be up in a second." And he’d come up and plug his guitar in, and sit on the couch, really slouched down. So we asked him, "Do you want to hear the song and sort of work on it for a while" and he was like, "No, it’s okay, just play me the section" [laughs]. And I was like, "Why don’t I play you the song?" and so I’d play it and he’d just rip all through the whole song. And I’d say, "Okay, here comes he section" and I would count it in, and he would really rip on the section, as if he wrote the goddamned thing. I mean, it was the most harmonically, melodically astounding lead guitar throw-downs. So I had him do that on three or four turns, and it was really sweet. That’s a real bonus on this record.

Thanks Maxini. That sounds like J on guitar in the first track. He utilized that guitar sound reminiscent of If That’s How It’s Gotta Be’s.

My first thought was, living in the area, the trees outside the Academy of Music.

Brief review from the NY Times…

THURSTON MOORE “Trees Outside the Academyâ€

[tonas]

Just bought it at lunch today, sounds pretty good so far. I also bought Kevin Drew’s Sprit If. That one should be good too. Always good to have new music to listen to.
