Being a father is more rewarding and fulfilling than anything.

I specifically recall they were on the tracklist. I don’t remember what song, though.

Pickle Song would be quite an undertaking. I would think of all Mascis material that would be the toughest to really and try to "cover" it.
I mean who plays the mouth harp or has a real theramin probe.

my laptop touchpad software has a theramin "emulator" packaged with it. no sh&t.

GREAT!!! I think we will probably move the deadline to June 15th because I just got around to sending out more info on it.
Can’t wait your cover!

Thanks for moving the date. I don’t follow the forums super-closely ever day, so I certainly appreciate you sending info on the cover project via e-mail.

This’ll give me time to do a proper recording.

Not sure what’s called, but I’m willing to do –

* blowin’ it
* throw down

possible alternates,

* i know yer insane
* goin’ home
* severed lips (i think this might be a popular choice)

others i know..

repulsion
over your shoulder (i would never be able to do it justice. it’s got lots of guitar-ry operatics i can’t even touch.)

i’d love to see someone attempt "pickle song".

what’s the deadline?

I just don’t get this…..please explain that rationale to me.

I don’t think release dates are just arbitrarily assigned, would assume that they include numerous things like promo, setting up interviews, tour dates, listening parties and no doubt a lot more. Once a leak happens a label & band management should just throw all that planning out and release it on itunes…just because the disc leaked the band/label control of the music should just evaporate?

I would recommend they continue with business as usual. The record is solid, and those that are loyal to JLouMurph/Dinosaur, and even Sebadoh will continue to buy the records, buy downloads, attend the shows and purchase the merchandise.

These guys are making a living, and if you get something from the music, you’ll support them.

I am digging Crumble more and more.

But the last 5-10 secs of "We’re Not Alone" is really torturing me. There’s a good song in there.

I am really glad there are Lou-vocal songs on this record. Lou is extremely talented.

"Lets Go To Church" is pretty cool. It sounds like flute samplings from "thumb" (and other sampled/looped instruments) and that falsetto vocal style of "don’t you think it’s time"/"see it as always". It’s good house-cleaning music.

copy+paste from something i wrote. a good show with some bad people. got to talk to J for a second, tho:

dinosaur jr show was awesome. friend jerry bought me a shot of tequila. jerry and i are HUGE dinosaur fans. we fucking knew every word to every song.

anyway, had these two younger people come up, one was a black-haired [mid-length] girl in her early 20’s maybe — who was wearing a cut-V-front motorhead shirt and had a black eye. the other was a guy around the same age, bald//shaved head and some weird little headband thing.

they come up, and the girl claims i "made her spill her beer". you know, i apologized — man, i felt really bad. i don’t remember bumping anyone. i was going to offer her another beer, but before i can get a word out, she chimes in — "you better buy me a fucking beer or we’re gonna kick your ass". Her friend then said, "ya – you made me spill my beer too.. you fuckin better buy me one too". huh?

i’d just paid a bunch of overdue bills and other shit, and generally, I’m broke. but i’m not above doing nice things for my friends or people that truly deserve good shit happen for them.

so here’s the deal. the girl had a black eye — i felt bad. if she’d said, "i’m having a bad night, etc etc" — that would’ve been one thing. i hate seeing people suffer, or bummed. i probably would’ve bought her one if she was having a shitty night — with a black eye, man chances are you’re having a shitty night. but don’t fucking try to extort shit from me.

so apparently my blank stare and lack of money were too much. she stormed off. I went and got a dino hoodie, and switched out, carrying my $10 walmart hoodie under my arm.

on returning to the bar, Girl returns and is like, "you better fucking buy us some beer or you’re gonna get fucked up outside — watch yourself going to your car — we’re so gonna fuck you up". there was no fucking way. she made some comment about my "bling" — apparently the $1 Virgin Mary pin from St Mary’s Bookstore is — get this — bling. so she grabs my hoodie (apparently believing it was the dino hoodie) and makes off with it. she dropped my nice dino shirt, and i rescued it.. like, um posthaste. (word has it the they ended up at Gold Rush afterwards.)

OH FUCK. my car keys were in my hoodie.

anyway, i’m panicking. i don’t want my ass kicked. i don’t do fights, i don’t do drama. fuck it. i write music and drink beer.

so a panic attack sets in INTENSELY and i’m hastily texting people to let them know some shit is about to go down. then my phone dies. I was fucking worried they were camping me outside.

i’m freaking out hardcore, and fucking j. mascis walks by.

j. mascis is my fucking guitar hero. i’ve been waiting 12 years to meet him — to thank him. "Bug//YLAOM" pulled me out of my first serious depression. i didn’t realize you could write happy songs about sad shit. i learned to play drums because of him. i walk up to him, and mumble some incoherent shit, and it was fucking amazing. it was him, in fucking real life.

after scouring the place for my keys, or my hoodie, i went back inside and j. mascis was sitting at a table, with a fucking powerbook. i went and sat down next to him, and apologized. shit, man — i didn’t have anyone else to talk to, and i figured i might as well take my chances inside trying to talk to OMG J MASCIS than going outside to face an unprovoked assbeating.

i asked him a few nonsensical questions, and he was really polite. i’m sure he probably wasn’t too thrilled about some weird kid going on about how fucking amazing j. mascis is in general. i will say he’s a bit withdrawn — but who can blame him? he’s older, and probably trying to find his own inner peace. either way — fate picked the worst fucking time to drop j.mascis on me.

i go outside, and see lou [barlow] going back into the tour bus. i should’ve said hello. i’m still panicking HARD. lo and behold — right there on the floor outside the venue — MY FUCKING KEYS.

no hoodie, but oh well. It’s a $10 walmart special.

I’m so there tomorrow tonight.

I’m supposed to go to the Memphis show, too.. but I haven’t bought a ticket and have been too lazy to arrange a ride.

Anyone pissed off about "only songs from the first three albums"… *sigh* whatever.

Really looking forward to this show. I’ve been so busy I forgot it was tomorrow night.

Any good places to get a few beers beforehand?
