Neil Young cover from 1988, unused for "The Bridge" tribute album...(I love "Doom and Gloom from the Tomb" blog, it's like incredible rarities every day or so)

I tried really hard with this band, but not enough sixties in the music for my taste. Indie taste back then was inf. by massive 70s sounds. Guitar rock not my thing.

i'm looking forward to the Dino Jr. tracks poll. i really feel like there are some great unheralded pockets of their catalog outside of the canonical stuff -- Hand It Over is so great.

Man this used book store by me was having a sidewalk sale with just boxes of random ass cds on sale for a buck or less. It was just utter crap - probably more Windows 95 era game discs in the boxes than music discs and about 100 copies of each of those BMG sampler discs. Anyway, just as I was about to walk away, I spotted that one above and the JayLouMurph thing for 50 cents each. Made my week.

The only reason I mention it is that I heard Dinosaur Jr. on a college radio station the other day and it was jarring to realize that like 7 years ago 90% of the music on the same station was white-guys-playing-guitars music, and now that stuff seems to finally be out of style.
― Dan I., Sunday, 18 August 2013 02:23 (eleven years ago) link
no seriously what do they play now, when i walk past the catholic school party houses they're listening to kendrick lamar
― j., Sunday, 18 August 2013 02:26 (eleven years ago) link
is there a name for that genre that's just all synthesizers and the vocals have way way too much reverb?
― Dan I., Sunday, 18 August 2013 02:32 (eleven years ago) link
oh you mean m83
― j., Sunday, 18 August 2013 02:34 (eleven years ago) link
It's really wrong to aim this stuff at Dinosaur Jr., but that insufferable punk and classic rock fan "authenticity"/"this is REAL music" attitude was also present in 90s indie, and I was happy to realize that it apparently doesn't hold sway anymore.
― Dan I., Sunday, 18 August 2013 02:42 (eleven years ago) link
oh shit i somehow just realized I'm talking about rockism haha
― Dan I., Sunday, 18 August 2013 02:43 (eleven years ago) link
There is a massive part of Arcade Fire/Sigur Ros/Radiohead fandom that is all about the ''authenticity/this is REAL music'' attitude.
It's probably just easier to dismiss today.

it is this thread revive
Hand It Over is so great.
a million times, yes. messy, heartbroken, dark and dippy in places, but so great.
not enough sixties in the music for my taste.
the sixties were a decade of shocking diversity and great giant leaps and accelerated evolution in a myriad of musical forms. i guess what you're saying is dinosaur don't adequately echo miles davis' shift from acoustic to electric music, right?

Maybe it's my age but I genuinely feel that they never surpassed 'You're living All Over Me" and believe me, I have purchased much DiJr since - Sebadoh, solo stuff etc.
The context of those guitar solos were truly new to my ears back then. Now they're like, "Here we go again, squall...squiggle, squeak ...." And Mascis' voice was better then? Oh and the tunes. Lyrics, i'm not too fussed.
Perhaps I should try again?
Is the remastered version of YLAOM any good?
― Jessie Fer Ark (Mobbed Up Ping Pong Psychos), Tuesday, 4 November 2014 12:34 (nine years ago) link
It was definitely fresher back then in all those categories. Though I still enjoy the recent stuff too! Some really amazing songs on the first comeback album notably.
― Evan, Tuesday, 4 November 2014 14:34 (nine years ago) link
I love pretty much all their albums, but YLAOM is by a huge degree their best

Uh, at the risk of ruining the lovefest for their 80s stuff, I enjoy their reunion records more.

I'll get even weirder and say that I think his most recent solo album on Sub Pop ("Tied to a Star") is one of my favorite things he's done!
Soft spot for Where You Been, just because of the timing of its release.
