Dinosaur Jr. Prep Jagjaguwar Debut
Admittedly, I was a cynical dick when Dinosaur Jr. announced their full-band reunion. A little bit because they were one of the most important bands of my youth and reunions often backfire, but more importantly, as a long-haired youngster I witnessed Lou Barlow obsessing on his hatred of J. Mascis at a III-era live show at Maxwells and in interviews, etc., etc. Even if you weren't there, it's pretty clear who "The Freed Pig" targeted with its "Now you will be free / With no sick people tugging on your sleeve / Your big head has that more room to grow / A glory I will never know," etc. Ah, he just had a Green Mind! (A totally underrated record, by the way). Anyhow, I was wrong. Maybe dudes still do hate each other, but when they come together on stage (or on record) they're total pros who feel as energized as they did on those early outings. (No, Mascis never looks energized, but that was always part of the appeal.) If you were ever a Dinosaur Jr. fan, you can't deny Beyond without outing yourself as a joyless doob. And live? Forget about it. So, hey, let's get excited about a new Dinosaur album all over again: Farm, the original lineup's fifth album together, is out this June. We have the album art, tracklist, and relevant live footage.
01 "Pieces"
02 "I Want You To Know"
03 "Ocean In The Way"
04 "Plans"
05 "Your Weather"
06 "Over It"
07 "Friends"
08 "Said The People"
09 "There's No Here"
10 "See You"
11 "I Don't Wanna Go There"
12 "Imagination Blind"
Farm is out 6/23 via Jagjaguwar. Here's one of the above tracks "I Don't Wanna Go There" live. And, speaking of Green Mind, we also have Kevin Drew joining the band for "The Wagon" from a killer post-midnight SXSW set at the Cedar Street Courtyard.

Can every album released this year please have that cover?
Score = 24
Billy Corgan is a DICK!
Score = 5
Dinosaur Jr. fucking rule. Unfortunately, Jagjaguwar is home to Bon Iver. This does not rule.
Score = -16
What's wrong with Bon Iver? More importantly though, to what extent does this cover own all other cover art? Woooooooo!!!
Score = 2
Amazing album cover, great song. Oh, but Kevin Drew, please stay away from Dinosaur Jr.
Score = 3
"Green Mind" is such an awesome album. Let the underrating stop here!
Score = 6
yes Kevin Drew please stay off the stage. Your shitty Dino Jr. wanna-be band sucks.
Score = -4
New Dinosaur Jr. is always great.
J is also like the hugest stoner ever.
Score = 1
highly anticipating the new one & I hope they play more green mind and where you been songs on the upcoming tour. sorry lou, those albums do, in fact, rule.
Score = 3
Yeah, I always rank Green Mind and Where You Been over Bug and You're Living All Over Me.
Score = 1
i wouldn't go that far....i guess the production is appealing but the songs are better written on Bug/Self-Titled/YLAOM....in my humble opinion.
Score = -2
If I have to watch Kevin Drew warble through an encore of The Wagon one more time , I might have to stuff my Dino Jr.-approved industrial strength earplugs down his indie-bearded throat. I don't care if it was his "teenage dream, everybody, teenage dream." Get…off…the…stage.
ps. Upon first listen of "cause=time", I said "wow, I've never heard this great Dinosaur Jr. b-side." Sorry social sceners.
Score = -1
Upon further reflection, I've realized that my venom is mostly motivated by jealousy. Sorry Kevin.
Score = 1
i have nothing but love for that cover
Score = 0
but we've all seen The Lord of The Rings by now!
Score = 1
someone got kevin drew in my dinosaur jr.
Score = 1
J doesn't smoked weed, and never really did. The cover is awesome. Saw them wed night they were great but no new songs yet. And Kevin Drew does suck but the J.Mascis+Broken Social scene show was awesome, dino with 2 drummers and like 4 guitars, I think its on youtube.
Score = 0
pretty darn solid...I really really like it!
Score = 0
J Mascis and Lou Barlow's voices combination is just great, although guitar solos by mascis are sometimes too much. Let's not forget the fantastic drummer Murph.
Score = 0
