Dinosaur Jr – Bits and Pieces by O (Tour Documentary)

Live Video, Other

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-OhJhWWBLE

The awesome Otis Bperiod has just shared a pretty awesome treat for Dinosaur Jr fans. Over an hour and a half of footage from his time with the band on the current tour.    Enjoy!
Lots of pretty backstage silliness and live footage showing a side of Dinosaur and the crew most of us don’t get to see.  Lots of rehearsal jammage, Sebadoh and even some footage with Steve Gunn fronting the band for “Yeah We Know”.  Thanks O!
*I’m not sure if he is posting a higher quality copy of the vid later as it has ‘Small’ in the description.

UPDATE – Looks like it was set to private 🙁  Hope those of you lucky enough to catch it first enjoyed it!

Last week Glide Magazine posted their rankings of Dinosaur Jr albums and this week we get J Mascis’s take on his rankings thanks to Noisey Magazine.

We sat down with the frontman and unimpeachable guitar wizard, who notoriously does not like talking about his albums, to go through every single one of Dinosaur Jr.’s releases at length.

On the eve of the official release day of Dinosaur Jr’s Give a Glimpse of What Yer Not some lucky people that pre-ordered (like myself) are finding that the packages are arriving a day early.  Just thought I’d link up some recent press while cranking it up.

Give a Glimpse of What Yer Not

Dinosaur Jr. “Give a Glimpse of What Yer Not”

Album reviews (although I’d personally rather hear your thoughts)

  • Popmatters.com
  • The Quietus – “Dinosaur Jr. have succeeded in creating the ultimate gateway album”
  • Pitchfork – “Give a Glimpse of What Yer Not makes it clear their well for inspiration has not run dry”
  • Consequence of Sound – “J, Lou, and Murph continue their streak of strong post-reunion albums”
  • Treblezine
  • Spin – “Dinosaur Jr.’s Minds Are Green as Ever on ‘Give a Glimpse of What Yer Not”
  • Stereogum – Album of the week
  • TheAVClub – “On it’s 4th post-reunion offering, Dinosaur Jr. digs deep to unearth its best self”

You get the picture 😉
