From Ajay’s blog:

"Dinosaur Jr." management are there to show faces (Lou is there and I am there so they have to turn up). There is no mention of "Dinosaur Jr" plans and whether they need my services as a sound engineer, and conversation is kept polite. You can pretty much take it that the yes men have won their day and that control is finally complete. They can appoint at will and milk all cash cows to bleeding point. "It’s a shit business" as Joseph always says. How true, how true!

What’s that all about?…….

I guess he’s implying that J’s management are running the show. Ajay’s a great guy but he sure seems to slag a lot of folks in his blog (cf Sonic Youth).

Good to see Lou got 2500 smackers for his bass. Cha-ching.

Yea from what I have seen he is a punk, always talkin trash, and I heard he recorded almost all of the Dino shows and wouldn’t let them be put on Freesofree. Oh and he tried to mack on my friends girlfriend at the Sebadoh show in Tuscon.

I thought AJ’s Sonic Youth rant was hilarious. Holding out hope of working with J Mascis after that rant (knowing the obvious connection between them) is just as hilarious. I must say after watching the "Been there" video it’s easy to see that they passed on some of that "talent" to their daughter. It may be a shit business but your business can really turn to shit without some sort of "management"………….God bless the CPA……. Good management is crucial to the success of any business.

My husband had the shoebox approach to business…that is, the only record of a sale or a purchase he made was a piece of paper tossed into a shoebox. At the end of the year he dumped the box and attempted to analyze the contents in order to complete his taxes. The 2,000 piece jigsaw puzzle finally gave him the ultimate headache.

Loobiecore is such a great site. Lou is the man.

I think Ajay is a cool guy.
It’s always been a pleasure to meet up and hang out with him at the shows.

Was it not you that told me he wouldn’t share all of the recordings he made from the board, thats not cool.

[Annastefka]

but Ammaringnyc…………..there is probably a reason he didn’t share it……….not that he wanted to keep it all to himself.
If the band was working on the DVD, I can understand why they didn’t want that quality of recording to be put out.

I’m sure, you like me, have seen J with the Fog, J on his own for’ $10 bucks a ticket, hell half the time, in a small town like Athens, 1/4 of the club gets in for free. Factor in Gas,food and lodging taxes and cuts for other folks……..getting filthy rich probably was not happening to J. I’m only guessing here.

I’ll bet AJ just didn’t come up with the idea of holding on to those recordings.

makes sense to me.

I think so, J doesn’t care if the shows are taped. When they were making the DVD’s they said no cameras but you could still record audio.

I dunno…judging from the way they acted at the Sebadoh show in DC the Bent Moustache guys seem really uptight and full of their own shit. Maybe it was just a bad day, who knows.

[sfbarker]

They were totally awesome here in Houston. Really friends and nice. Ajay played around with my 6 year old son I brought and even had him come up and play tambourine on a song at the end of their set. I think he’s a cool guy to do that.
