Dinosaur Jr.

Set against the backdrop of a post-punk music fest, new film ’I'll Be Around’ sounds like a mash-up of ’Slacker’ and ’200 Cigarettes.’

The latest edition of Mikey and His Uke's quarantine punk cover series is here.

“We finished an album somehow during COVID times,” J Mascis told the crowd at Dinosaur Jr's second socially-distanced drive-in show of the weekend. “I guess it won’t come out for a little while."

Dinosaur Jr. — who 36 years into their career still boast the face-melting original lineup of J. Mascis, Lou Barlow, and Murph — played an extremely rare show, and by that we mean that shows during this pandemic are rare, but even rarer are shows by bands we love, let alone worship.

Earlier in coronavirus lockdown, Lou Barlow performed a new Dinosaur Jr. song on his livestream and said they had finished a new album. Perhaps we'll hear more from that at these shows?

It'll be the first time Buffalo Tom's J Mascis-produced second album -- a 1990 college radio smash -- will be on vinyl since its initial release.

This will be the first North American vinyl release for Emoh which originally came out in 2005.

”There’s been a lot of cancelled Dinosaur Jr. stuff, too, but we have a record so we have something to offer this year,” Lou said.
