hi, here’s a copy of the article you mean:
J & Kevin Shields Interview 1993 <img>here it is <img>
Too cool <img>
You had the occasion to watch the show, to record it all and you met J ?!?!!!
Really looking forward to hear more <img>All right, I translated the article for you. Its not a really perfect translation but I hope you get the meaning better than before. The article is not as negative as it seems at some points. The author is just very ironic and tries to be funny. Apart from that it’s just another Dino bio… <img>
Here it is:Joseph Donald Mascis junior. A perfect name for an anti-rockstar. The not very cool abbreviation "J Mascis" doesn’t help the Dinosaur Jr leader much.
Short comment: "Rock" is the German word for skirt, that’s the reason for "anti-skirt-star"
"uncool": In Germany a very common expression for "not cool"That’s the name of guys who still ride by bike to High School with 16 while the Quarterbacks of the same age pick up the cheer leaders in the morning with their dad’s jeep.
But uncoolness (even if it’s not intended) is damned important for a god of all the boring slackers, who still wish back the guitar rock of the early 90s, run around with faded Sonic Youth t-shirts and wear thick horn-rimmed glasses.
Important for the fans, unimportant for his majesty. Mascis doesn’t care about his outward appearance. He wears absurd baseball caps from the handicraft market, likes to fall asleep for a moment at interviews, then he waits three minutes until he answers (usually limited to a short mumbled sentence) and likes to hide his face behind his fringy hair, that has turned gray in the meantime. In his spare time he likes to play gulf (see the video to "Feel The Pain") and he likes most to watch soap operas. Are there any hobbies, which are less Indie?
Nothing against uncoolness. But instead of caring about school, Mascis (born on 10th December 1965) dedicates himself to music. He drums marvelous, plays piano (â€sounds like a cute thing. I hope you’ll approve me [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]

Allison, thank you very much for the link, I’m gonna check it out. I didn’t follow up all of the projects which the Reids are doing now, but it might be worth while [img]images/smiles/icon_razz.gif[/img][ December 06, 2001: Message edited by: Flying Cloud ]</p>
Hey Rô Rock, here’s that link again:
Wibble’s Unofficial Dinosaur Jr Page
It contains most of the the Dino lyrics, but without Hand It Over. For Hand It Over you can look here:
There are some more transcriptions of the Dino lyrics in the web, which are sometimes slightly different [img]images/smiles/icon_cool.gif[/img]
