Pitchfork has updated to mention Gachinko Fight Club, citing this tweet:
I know the answer @pitchfork .A linkage this song with Japan is obvious. “Over Your Shoulder” was used in popular TV show called “Gachinko Fight Club” hosted by TOKIO, famous male band/talents. On Feb. 6th, TOKIO’s current TV show “TOKIO KAKERU” seems picked up former member of https://t.co/DfBD7xCYEU— 鈴木貴歩 #EnterTechの提唱者 (@SuzukiTaka) February 8, 2019

(Annoyingly, the P4k article still says "Nobody knows why! The answer isn't obvious at all!" while acknowledging "Oh yeah, some people have said it's this TV show.")

So did the TV show inspire viewers to seek out the original song; or is it charting simply due to being played in background of that widely-streamed scene (and machine-recognized for copyright/royalties purposes)?

It was a very dramatic moment to a memorable scene and it brought back a lot of memories for people who watched it the first time around. The replay went viral on ameblo & FC2 blogs, plus there are a ton of Youtube comments asking for the ID on various clips, also on Yahoo.jp chiebukuro (like Yahoo! answers but less babbies formed & more utility).

It’s a pretty beautiful song.

I've been listening to Dinosaur Jr. quite a bit lately. They were sort of a second tier interest to me when I was a teenager, but for some reason I've been enjoying returning to them more than many other bands from that era.

"They Always Come" is such a great song... but then around halfway through it morphs into this even better song. Feel like Bug is so much better than I remember everytime I throw it on.
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Wednesday, 4 March 2020 04:17 (four years ago) link
yeah that's my favorite one
― sleeve, Wednesday, 4 March 2020 05:30 (four years ago) link
Heh I wouldn't say I like it more than YLAOM, but Bug feels super-slept on in comparison. The highs on Bug (for me: "They Always Come" & "No Bones" esp.) are as high as any of their albums. Not sure how dictator-y J was by this point but both Lou & Murph's performances are incredible.

My wife gave me a print with "sometimes I don't thrill you sometimes I think I'll kill you just don't let me fuck up will you cos when I need a friend it's still you" for my birthday a couple of years ago
I put that song on at her memorial last Saturday

Was kinda hoping this revive was for some concrete news on the new album. But glad to see it nonetheless.
I was listening to the Day of the Dead comp last night and the Kurt Vile cover of "Box of Rain" that features a Mascis solo came on and I realize that I can't think of many rock songs that wouldn't be immediately improved by a J solo. Hell, if Aerosmith wanted to re-record Just Push Play with Mascis playing every solo I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

if they hadn't stopped playing 'i don't wanna go there' i'd still be listening to it

That is awesome. I remember Head coming out with Motorhead skis a while ago, I'm still kicking myself I didn't get those. Bands should do this a lot more.

I like the new album but fuck this wasn't I thread I expected to open and burst out crying.
It's still on the wall though:

what can i say besides this is the perfect rock band and everything they do kicks ass, new album no exception

otm
I was inspired enough to finally pick up those 2019 Cherry Red reissues of the post-Jayloumurph lineup albums, mainly for all the B-side cleaning up and live shows.
― soaring skrrrtpeggios (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Friday, 14 May 2021 17:46 (two years ago) link
i like this band whenever i hear them but do they have more than one song
― Free Palestine (Left), Friday, 14 May 2021 17:54 (two years ago) link
that's not an insult the consistency is impressive & inspiring but do they ever go proggy or anything
― Free Palestine (Left), Friday, 14 May 2021 17:55 (two years ago) link
they don't go "proggy" per se, but they do loosen up and jam a lot on farm. the early albums have a fair amount of weirdness, especially in the lou barlow contributions. recent albums have a few barlow contributions but his sensibility has grown closer to j's.
― the mai tai quinn (voodoo chili), Friday, 14 May 2021 17:59 (two years ago) link
thx i remember enjoying farm when it came out but i only listened to it once i think. amazing cover
― Free Palestine (Left), Friday, 14 May 2021 18:04 (two years ago) link
lol, I was going to say, that's not fair, between 1985 and 1988 and since 2007 they've had two, with the Lou songs
― soaring skrrrtpeggios (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Friday, 14 May 2021 20:34 (two years ago) link
I heard “Little Fury Things” on my return commute today, and I was reminded of how beautiful and wistful it is. Also, nothing on their post-reunion albums approach its greatness or the highs on You’re Living/Bug/Green Mind
― beamish13, Saturday, 15 May 2021 00:10 (two years ago) link
they just became a more conventional rock band, an excellent one but not quite the same i agree

J’s guitar tone may be the most comforting sound I know.
― Mule, Saturday, 15 May 2021 10:31 (two years ago) link
I saw them in a small club in 1987. You're Living All Over Me held up well last time I checked, but I don't know much after that except "Freak Scene." I think I'd see this, though.

Jamming the 1991 Hollywood show that came with the Green Mind reissue from a few years back, I love this band.

Mascis does some stellar guitar work on Sunburned Hand of Man's "Prix Fixe" from this year that's definitely worth seeking out.
