“As a founding member of Dinosaur Jr., J Mascis has been one of our favorite Fender-wielding frontguys for the better part of a quarter century. Even during that band’s intermittent sabbaticals of the late 90s and early aughts, he kept at it, pulling together durable outfits such as Witch and J Mascis and the Fog and also kicking around with Mike Watt and helping to get the Stooges back together. In this special interview conducted in the United Kingdom, J opens up to Ian about the secrets of songwriting, an east-coast punk upbringing, and his near total disregard for the bass guitar.”

Amoeba Records often does a “What’s in the bag” interview to see what people are buying on their trips in. Here is J’s most recent.

Dinosaur Jr have announced a slew of tour dates in support of the new album “Farm” John Agnello just finished mixing in J’s Bisqueteen studio in Amherst, MA. An added bonus for those lucky enough to make it out to a show is a free 7″ or digital download with an interview and two songs that were recording live in the studio for Pitchfork.tv. A new track titled “I Don’t Wanna Go There” and the classic track “Tarpit”.
The new album will be released on the Jagjaguwar label.
