Rank Your Records: J Mascis Rates Dinosaur Jr. Albums From Bummer to Classic

News

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.

Murph and Lou sit in for an Interview with FaceCulture

News

Murph and Lou Barlow of Dinosaur Jr sit in with FaceCulture for an Interview.  The session is broken into 3 parts:

  1. their love for music, getting better and difficult times.
  2. getting back together, their dedication and releasing new music.
  3. being perfectionist, their new album, how they work now and success.

The recording is outside and a bit hard to hear at times

J Mascis / Dinosaur Jr The J Files episode from 2001 – Triple J Radio Australia

Streams

Triple J Radio in Australia has a radio special they put on called “The J Files” (recently relaunched on Double J) and on Feb 15, 2001, J Mascis was the focus of the 3-hour show. This was just before he was to go to Australia in support of “More Light“.  The show consists of lots of fan requests, a phone interview with J scattered throughout along with interviews with James Straker,  Kim Gordon, Carolyn Polley (Big Heavy Stuff), and other fans.  If you’ve got 3 hours to kill and want a pretty good Dinosaur Jr / J Mascis mixtape to listen to scattered with interviews and such look no further.
