Nice set of photos here: http://www.thewaster.com/photography/dinosaur-jr-reignwolf-06-07-13-irving-plaza-nyc/#prettyPhoto
Didn’t really notice on Friday, but that drum looks pretty big in the pic.
Ah… Kyle. Mis-typed it as Keith. Fixed now. Apologies to Mr. Spence. I don’t keep notes. Maybe I should.
@hybridge, Thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts.
I agree with your comments regarding loneliness and individuality. It is the music and the loudness of it all, combined with the sometimes introspective lyrics, that give Dinosaur Jr. their unique character. It’s not all emo moping by any stretch and that’s good.
And I didn’t mean “commercial” as a criticism. Maybe I should have said “accessible,” but I’ve always found that J has a good pop sensibility. Again, the way that can come through all the noise and distortion, even when it’s playing loud, is one of the things I’ve always loved about the band.
Thanks again for checking out the review.
My thoughts, if anyone’s interested:

@jeremiah, I always document…
Thanks, @tonas. I’ll give it a try.
Got my code while I was traveling on business. Tried to download at hotel but it crapped out on me. Got home this morning: “Your code has expired.” ~X(
@hybridge, thanks for checking it out.
The Fender version was made in Japan vs China for the Squier. Also, the Fender has the rounder, vintage 7.25″ radius, and I believe the trem is in the traditional location, further from the bridge. Both are basswood and have an adjust-o-matic bridge. The Fender model has been discontinued, so I think used is your only bet.
JSG and I live close by each other here on the Jersey Shore.
I’m sure I also spent some time at the place where that photo was taken in the late 80’s early 90’s.
It is a small world.
That’s great, @jeremiah. Go see them. Marissa is a teeny-tiny, full-on rockstar. You won’t be disappointed.
