That new J. mascis video

I’ve always loved his guitar work but also his vocals and melodic sensibility
I slept on Dinosaur Jr when they were around because I wasn't cool enough to hang with their fans. I've been getting way into him lately, but I wish I had known he was as close as I was getting to Neil Young in his prime.

I first read about him in some music magazine back in 1991 or 90 whenever Green Mind came out. I was in the mountains of extreme western N.M. Camping with my dad and I had purchased the magazine to bring along for reading material. It was a large magazine like the old spin and rolling stone, actually it was like an alternative to the at the time Spin when Spin was kinda alternative before alternative was a thing…
When we got back I woke up the next day and drove to the record store as soon as they opened and purchased it on cassette…been a fan ever since.

I gotta say, this new release is one of the strongest in his whole catalog. It’s up there with Green Mind and Where you been imho?
 
I think the appeal for me with J or Dino is that they/he forever sounds like a polished garage band that's just about to get signed. And I mean that in the most complimentary way. They've never lost that raw sound or feel and I love it.

That's the absolute sweet spot right there. You can get all the best of Neil Young, without any of the weird old dude reactionary energy that some of his fan base have.
