J. Mascis and Co. will be hitting First Ave. on Nov. 18 this year, just before you hit the turkey about a week later.  Dinosaur Jr. albums still sound so good to me 15 – 20 years afterward.  I just can’t get enough.  But to this day I have never seen the band live, and this show somehow represents a special opportunity for me.

Does it seem odd that I would be troubed by absent regrets moreso over this show than, say, U2?!

Here’s two new tracks off Dinosaur Jr.’s latest album Farm.
