Quote:"Thurston’s always playing," says J. "Almost every week he’s playing with different people. And the same 20 people are there watching."Quote:What we do manage to decipher in those silences is a man with a very dry sense of humour but one who maintains a certain professional distance from his bandmates. It’s been suggested that Mascis and Barlow’s infamous enmity was mainly healed by witnessing the Pixies’ lucrative reformation tour in 2004 …
"Oh hey, we’re no Pixies man," says Lou, scowling. "We’re better than that!" Well either way, Dinosaur Jr were certainly influential …
"Yeah …" says J, "(seven second pause)… to the Pixies …"
LOL!!!

Quote:My new album Bolts of Melody will see the light of day as an Adam Franklin album for the first time. The Toshack Highway moniker seems too unwieldy for a number of reasons – people never remember the name for starters (or pronounce it incorrectly!) and it’s just easier for people to remember my own name anyway. Also the album is much more song/guitar driven, and to me Toshack is more this instrumental/keyboardy thing, so actually the Toshack name might re-appear at some point with music more in that original vein, but for the time being AF it is..The album will feature the recent Syd’s Eyes single and Birdsong (Moonshiner Version), which were previously only available as Black Mountain seven inch and Shifty Disco download-only release respectively, as those tracks should be made more widely available.
The cover of Wolf Parade’s Shine A Light that was posted at http://www.myspace.com/toshackhighway will also be on the album due to a certain amount of public demand – the lyric about "waiting for something that’ll never arrive" seemed particularly appropriate due to this album taking so long to get released!
The album should get released in the US/North America May/June time and there will be full band dates with the Bolts of Melody band in the US around that time.

FRI JUN 8, 2007funny little rant about rolling stones recent guitar gods issue & the inexcuseable omission of a certain someone…
Quote:Then, there’s J. Mascis, the eminence gris of indie rock. His page in rock history is already earned, for no less an achievement than giving indie rock a lead guitar, and breaking with punk’s seemingly endless progression towards faster and harder. I saw Dinosaur Jr’s reformed original line-up in Seattle in 2004, and they were mind-blowing. Mascis looks like shit, and Murph’s showing his age (Lou Barlow alone remains fit and young-looking, due to his long years of success with Sebadoh), but they put most rock bands today to shame. Quite honestly, I’ve never seen an indie rock band play with a full double-stack of amps, and seriously, that was too much for the Showbox, but my God: the sounds he made were unbelievable. No jumping around to try to make the music seem more exciting than it was–Mascis played slightly hunched over his well-worn Jazz Master, and like Hendrix, the energy was all in the fingers. "Freak Scene" sent the audience into convulsions, and the guitar solo on the band’s seminal cover of The Cure’s "Just Like Heaven"–once overlaid with fuzz, flange, wah-wah, and a phaser–was a mind-blowing moment of rock and roll. The only comparable moment I can remember at any other show was Billy Corgan’s pick-scratch intro to the frenzied guitar solo in "Zero" when I saw the Smashing Pumpkins on the Mellon Collie tour back in 1997. In fact, you could argue that Corgan himself should be on the list, since the Pumpkins are touring later this year and releasing a new album in July. But Mascis has been touring for two years now, with Dinosaur Jr, and they’re hitting the road again later this year.So there you are, the inexcusable omissions from Rolling Stone’s idiotic list.
