Lou has quietly and almost without notice become my favorite bassist of all. His style is so loose and cool. And he has sweet moves. DJ are what a rock band should be. One of the few remaining rock bands still around.
Dinosaur Jr (for me) from the 90's is the equivalent of Black Sabbath from the 70's. Uniquely has their own tone that separates them from every other band in the mix.
The dream of many guitarists and music & instruments collectors and fetishists: a Vox Phantom guitar with a Fender Telecaster neck and headstock. Great J.Mascis, amazing Dinosaur
All bullshit aside, Lou Barlow is one of the coolest bass players ever! He rocks tf out! 😎 This is coming from someone who discovered the band last year, huge fan of Flea and Claypool. Barlow just has IT.
Good job by Mr. Mizell here in keeping this interview going. Interviewing Dino can be tough sledding but he managed to get more out of them than most. Good interview!
Jr. Opened for the cure at Spartan. I didn't have a ticket. I recognized a dude checking the fence to hop over. One weak link in security along the front. Inspired. I hopped over. Quite a show
Definitely some better Dinosaur Jr performances on TH-cam (both musically and camera-wise)...but it's free, so who am I to complain? They absolutely smoked the stage in New Haven, CT last month. Love the new album so much!!!
@@gthayerdc One of the only good things about living in CT (and not much I can think of!) is that Dinosaur Jr plays here quite a bit, cuz Northampton, MA is nearby. They come back to New Haven in the fall AND they played that awesome show in Morris last September. (in the middle of a rural field!) It would be great if that footage ever gets released, they were on fire that night as well.
Omg !!! On top form, sounding amazing. Been into Dinosaur JR since the beginning and they are stronger than ever. Get over to the UK and tour, I'll be there 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Oh 'Kracked', though. Wasn't expecting my favourite in there. Still an incredible band even without the ability to bring such fantastic songs to the fore again.
Dude id place Sweep it in to Space at the #3 spot of their best albums. #1 YLAOM #2 Where You Been Just my opinion. The album grew on me while i was on vacation in Georgia and Iowa. Itll be one of those albums thatll forever remind me of those days.
@@xavierrhcp13 dude. The new album is ok but you're putting it on some really hallowed ground there. I personally like Beyond and Farm the most from all post-reunion albums.
@@absolutelynonameslef idk dude, i will admit the mixing is not the best, but i think the band is as together as theyve been. J's songwriting is on point and really gives out some unique feelings. The guitar solo on I Ran Away is one of the best Mascus solos ive heard. Then theres the two Lou Songs, that have such a mature sound to them and break up the album pretty well. Every song is solid. Lou even said in this intervieq that it gets better and better with time, and Murph talked about how he didnt even have to think to much when learning the parts.
@@xavierrhcp13 Garden and You Wonder are the highlights of the album for me. They are stuck in my head but they're more Sebadoh than Dino. Most of the J songs are just ok to me. Maybe it will grow on me with more listening.
@@absolutelynonameslef listen to it more indeed. I agree with Xavier, it's also now at #3 for me under #1 YLAOM and #2 Where You Been for sure just for the complexity and accessibility of the songwriting.
To see Teenage Heroes again at a( slightly ) later Moment in Life feels oddly good..Greetings and many Thanks for sweet Memories of chasing Girls in the early 90´s :)
I think J uses the whammy bar more than any guitar player I've seen in a long time, and it actually sounds better than I remember it from use in say, the 80s
Did Lou's Ripper get damaged 5:34 between their last tour and now? Damn that's my dream bass and they are super rare cost a couple grand the US for one that's heavily used.
Thank you Dinosaur Jr!! Great performance!! Probably couldn't find a worse interviewer if KEXP tried on purpose, but despite that, you guys engaged and kept it classy: pro move!
@@erad67 Lol yeah. And when most songs have the same words just slightly different, I assume it would be difficult to remember them, otherwise you'd be singing the same lyrics for each song.. But when you play the crap out of your guitars and drums like these guys do, lyrics come second to emotion. I've listened to Said The People a bazillion times, but I still can't figure out if J is singing Save Me or Say To Me in the chorus..lol. Love them though, my favorite band for sure!

You've got to admire the ambition of someone who decides to do a zoom interview with J. Mascis.
😜😜😁
Omg
You have to admire anyone who can interview J in any format!🤣
It's kinda like interviewing an extraterrestrial
@@chuckabbate5924 kinda like interviewing a slightly-sentient brick wall
Lou has completed his journey into becoming "The Dude"
This is awesome
I discovered Dino Jr in 1987 on Penn State college radio. Rarely does a band still sound like they did 30 yrs earlier. These guys make me feel young.
Dude, same here... Class of ‘88 Can almost taste the Rolling Rock when I roll me some Dinosaur Jr
@@michaelsocash3407 rathskellar case studies. 👍
@JONATHAN SUTCLIFFE i was referring to 'You're Living All Over Me'. I never really heard much of their 1985 album
@JONATHAN SUTCLIFFE i hear ya mate 👍
Yep, made a career out of writing the same boring songs over and over for 30 damn years....
Lou has quietly and almost without notice become my favorite bassist of all. His style is so loose and cool. And he has sweet moves. DJ are what a rock band should be. One of the few remaining rock bands still around.
No matter how many years go by, Dinosaur Jr never lets you down. They are one of the most consistently great bands in the world.
J Mascis with a Vox Phantom with a tele neck is one of the most awesome things ive seen in a bit, I'll take 4 thank you.
Ive seen it called the potato-caster lol
Dinosaur Jr (for me) from the 90's is the equivalent of Black Sabbath from the 70's. Uniquely has their own tone that separates them from every other band in the mix.
I was just going to say something similar.
100%
Pretty much like if classic rock was more blues-y
That performance of Sludgefeast was KILLER.
Fuckin’ aye right!
Album worthy perfomance
Anthem!
The dream of many guitarists and music & instruments collectors and fetishists: a Vox Phantom guitar with a Fender Telecaster neck and headstock. Great J.Mascis, amazing Dinosaur
He's also put a Jazzmaster/Jaguar trem on it
Thought 💭 why tho ? I’ve got 2 phantoms mk 6 and 7 . Phucken weirdo . Saw him in the 80s ? 88?
@@09philj Saw that after reading your comment, I’ve also bought and sold one of those old Gibson Ripper Bass’s .👍
@TZADDIKIM 1 ** ?
@TZADDIKIM 1 ** ok 👍, cool mate
New Modest Mouse, New Murlocs, and now a full KEXP Dinosaur Jr. performance & interview.
Today is a awesome!!
All bullshit aside, Lou Barlow is one of the coolest bass players ever! He rocks tf out! 😎
This is coming from someone who discovered the band last year, huge fan of Flea and Claypool. Barlow just has IT.
nobody plays bass like him. he plays like Johnny Ramone but on bass.
@@SonikJesus I can hear a lot of Lemmy influence on the way he approaches double stops.
@@alexstewart839 thrown in Peter Hook too..
You'd think he's playing a 6 string guitar the way he works it. Sure is a great bassist & Dino more than standing the test of time.
J talking about Pop Smoke is something that I would never imagine would ever happen.
my favorit band, saw them 4 times live and have all their albums. fell in love with their sound
Good job by Mr. Mizell here in keeping this interview going. Interviewing Dino can be tough sledding but he managed to get more out of them than most. Good interview!
Just when I think I know good music, I hear Dinosaur Jr for the first time.
Jr. Opened for the cure at Spartan. I didn't have a ticket. I recognized a dude checking the fence to hop over. One weak link in security along the front. Inspired. I hopped over. Quite a show
Lol great story
These guys are getting better with age.
LOVE DINOSAUR JR.
Great sound music. Maybe I am the one fan of Dinosaur Jr in/from Brazil
É nois! 🦖
oh yeah, Kracked! I've always loved that song. Glad to hear them playing early stuff!
Best performance of this year on KEXP ..
Glad dinosaur jr still kicks ass
Sludgefeast and Tarpit!!!! Two of my favorites.
New album, like all their stuff IMO, slaps. So glad I still have Dino Jr to keep rockin
The fact that I'm not seeing a Jazzmaster in this video is astounding.
OK, there's a couple of them ahead. I rushed.
fuck they are always rock solid. the only band that could back iggy as “the stooges” and come close. too good.
Murph is a great drummer. Good time and rock solid rhythm, he plays just what the music needs and no more.
@@EricT43 j is the one writing the drum parts.
Definitely some better Dinosaur Jr performances on TH-cam (both musically and camera-wise)...but it's free, so who am I to complain? They absolutely smoked the stage in New Haven, CT last month. Love the new album so much!!!
Was so bummed i couldnt make it. going to northampton and boston though in the fall

just a a superb band, hopefully i can make their show in September here in birmingham,al
Loudest band I’ve ever seen live. They put on a hell of a show!
Back in the mid 90s the 2 loudest bands I saw were Dinosaur Jr. And the Flaming Lips.
@@unclefoiley819 that’s awesome man, I still haven’t had the chance to see the flaming lips but it’s on my bucket list
Love it just wish I could hear Lous bass as much as jays guitar
J’s guitar selections are kinda freaking me out, man.
He seems to like those old odd Fenders and the such with lots of distortion.
I love how J kinda "dressed up" for this
Those N22s must be the toughest ribbon mics ever made, don't understand how they don't immediately evaporate in front of J's cabinets
Great live performance and interview. Thanks KEXP.
just made my friday 2x as nice!!
When J. gets the Jazzmaster the right tone of DInossaur Jr comes alive.
やっぱダイナソーJr.いいな
ギターの音の厚み気持ちよすぎる
Love that guitar! Phantom body with Tele neck!
yep.. looking sexy as hell
It's a custom guitar?? Or it's official fender??
@@Le_borle it’s custom. I read about this guitar on his interview for Japanese magazine for effect pedal enthusiasts.
phantom body, tele neck, mastery bridge and mastery trem system (yes its actually a vibrato but fender calls em trem systems)
is it me or is there a serious need of more bass in the mix?
Drums are a little quiet too
I guess that means J is just too loud. Lol
Some past kexp sessions had Lou higher in the mix, but this one he is back down, still higher than the albums though, but don't get me started.
it's ur eq. it's all there.
@@MustahB no EQ on my phone, unfortunately
a high quality, uploaded in 2021 version of Sludgefeast. bless.
Damn I think J joined theFuzztones, Love Dinosaur. Thanks for this one.
Nothing from Where You've Been? My favorite by them, every song close to magic.
Oh 'Kracked', though. Wasn't expecting my favourite in there. Still an incredible band even without the ability to bring such fantastic songs to the fore again.

Icon band....skateboarding is not a crime!!! Push ride
These guys music is in a number of skate videos.
Shred on dudes!
Lou makes a great point about Bill Callahan just making better and better albums as he gets older.
Fender Vox
Dino😀💙🎼
Fuck, this reminded me how great 'You're Living All Over Me' is.
It's the best rock n roll album ever made. No hyperbole.
To see Teenage Heroes again at a( slightly ) later Moment in Life feels oddly good..Greetings and many Thanks for sweet Memories of chasing Girls in the early 90´s :)
A banda mais APODRECIDA da face da terra! Parabens! 😏😎
I think J uses the whammy bar more than any guitar player I've seen in a long time, and it actually sounds better than I remember it from use in say, the 80s
you lucky groms still get to see DJ just as badass as they always were.
The classic Gibson Ripper 🤘🏻
Let the healing begin!
Did Lou's Ripper get damaged 5:34 between their last tour and now? Damn that's my dream bass and they are super rare cost a couple grand the US for one that's heavily used.
Can't wait to see them live.
September can't come fast enough... Got my Tix and ready to get obliterated by this wall of sound 🤘
I gonna see them at The Fillmore and Ace Of Spades at least I will try so excited
Cool song 'i ran away'
LOL @ "right on" as this guy's primary tool against J's short answers.
With videos like Tim Heidecker in them, you can't lose.
If you don't appreciate D jr , you apparently aren't aware of what real music is 🤘🏾
Good, old fashioned Rock and Roll
excited to see these guys in Birmingham in September
they come to glasgow 2 months before I turn 18 so I wont be able to see them, have fun when you see them man!
So good
fantastic
Oh wow! Nice surprise. ☺
8:46 the brown note.
Great to hear the new stuff live
couldn't agree more. Wish they had actually played a couple more new ones.
omg this is great made my day :D
Wow, kracked!!! Toy machine good and evil feelings
Counting the day's till 11/16 @ The 9 30 Club!
My therapist asked what my goals were for therapy and I just played her a J. Mascis interview.
HAHAHAHAHA
Nailed it!!
A M A Z I N G ! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Cooooooool......!
J is getting a speaker massage with that stack behind him.
His theory is “to feel it”.
What!?
Seen em live before and you definitely get a speaker massage in the audience as well...one of the loudest bands I've seen, next to Sleep.
@@darrentatem429 they all wear earplugs when they play live shows most the time. It's a good idea to bring a pair of ear plugs to any Dino show.
happy in the morning:)
20:40 guys are fired up. 😂
I've already got my ticket to see them on Feb. 4. I haven't left my bedroom for anything else in about five years.
Wow !!!
Thank you Dinosaur Jr!! Great performance!! Probably couldn't find a worse interviewer if KEXP tried on purpose, but despite that, you guys engaged and kept it classy: pro move!
Love the Shea - saw Mark Mulcahy there..
Mascis sigue siendo una bestia tocando loco
So stoked to see them at riot fest
right on
Buenísimo!!
Wanted to hear out there
Awesome guitar
J Mascis guitar playing is fucking great
J always stands around while playing like he's one of the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show
It's difficult to read the lyrics on the floor when you jump around. :) 5:51

Cuando y donde fue en la ciudad?
