Dinosaur Jr. – Seemed Like The Thing To Do

not too surprisingly, indie rock’s elder statesmen Dinosaur Jr. are returning tonight to Los Angeles after two sold out shows at the Troubadour in June. they’re playing the House of Blues Sunset Strip, and the place will be lucky to still be standing after J., Lou and Murph finish plugging in those purple amps. i’ve said it before, and i’ll say it again. loudest fucking band in America. (My Bloody Valentine doesn’t count, they’re from the Old Country.)
i imagine at this point that the inside of J. Mascis’ ears sounds like the scene in Fight Club when Ed Norton gets done shooting a bullet through his mouth and there’s nothing but ringing while people mouth things to him and look worried…

Dinosaur Jr. – Seemed Like The Thing To Do

not too surprisingly, indie rock’s elder statesmen Dinosaur Jr. are returning to Los Angeles after two sold out shows at the Troubadour last month. they’re playing November 5th at the House of Blues Sunset Strip, and the place will be lucky to still be standing after J., Lou and Murph finish plugging in those purple amps. said it before, and i’ll say it again… loudest fucking band in America. (My Bloody Valentine doesn’t count, they’re from the Old Country.)
i imagine at this point that the inside of J. Mascis’ head sounds like the scene in Fight Club when Ed Norton gets done shooting a bullet through his mouth and there’s nothing but ringing while people mouth things to him and look worried because there is blood coming out of his ear…

before...

...and after.

I’ll be honest, I don’t know much about Mark Mulcahy, but wikipedia does. He was the frontman for Miracle Legion and Polaris who were responsible for the music and theme song of Nickelodeon’s, The Adventure’s of Pete & Pete…. Yes. That I know much about.

I’m guessing it’s because he was part of such an amazing television show that he’s got an amazing cast of famous musician bros. His wife just died, leaving him to care of 3 year old twins, so his musical-bro-posse put together a tribute/benefit album for the guy. Awww.
