Cat Stevens - Lady D'Arbanville

Our 2-month-old son loves to listen to Cat Stevens. Or then it's just a lame excuse for me to indulge in my guilty pleasure. Anyway, this is a good song from an album whose name sounds almost like my last name.

J Mascis - Set Us Free

This is simply moving. One of the best songs from Free so Free album. Got to love it!

J Mascis - Alone

I've been listening to Hand It Over (1997) after a long pause in recent days. What a great album, that. This is a pretty new performance of Alone (and gray).

Dinosaur Jr - Pick Me Up

Another great song from Beyond (2007). Although the sound quality is dubious, J's inimitable stage presence is definitely not. Rock on!

J Speaks!

Having interviewed J Mascis in my wild days of youth, I know this is a rare commodity. Really, he doesn't talk that much. And how coolest of the cool is his signature Jazzmaster! I vow to the Guitar Gods to buy one as soon as I get my shit together financially!

Dinosaur Jr - Sameday

One of my favourite songs from J's solo career (hasn't it always been) with the Fog. Truly a great tune. Also, cool to see a big fat hairball of a man to sing the Bob Pollard backup parts.

Dinosaur Jr - Been There All the Time

Live version from their latest album, the awesome Beyond (2007). J looks like he's just risen from the dead, but what else is new?
