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.

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

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

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.
