Super bummed to find out that the pre-order for
the new LP. Sweep it into Space, in colored vinyl is already out of stock. I hate bands/ promoters that do this. A faithful
fan can't buy a colored album? Hmmm, maybe time to find another
favorite band. Fuck this shit.
Yes, I think it might be the same one DIno's store ran out of but I'm not sure. Looks like I'll go with that one. Despite mu frustration with Kunfu, it's Dino- gotta have it.

For sure! I think it's potentially their most accessible record for new fans since "Farm".
Quite a bit lighter and more melodic and poppy than anything they've done previously.
If it weren't for J's voice and guitar giving it away, most of the songs on Sweep It Into Space could easily have been Pearl Jam songs in a parallel universe.

Just got tix to the 9:30 club gig in November. Can't wait.
Awesome! That's a ways off but it would be very cool if you could give us a little write up about the show. Have a great time (and don't forget to take ear plugs, lol!)

Been listening to Your Living All Over Me and Bug a lot lately and was gonna check out some of the other albums. Looks like on Spotify most of the other albums are 2019 remasters, any opinion on these? Usually dislike remasters and would prefer to listen as released.

Good question, kotton. Everything I have is either original or earlier UK Warner reissues or earlier Jagjauwar reissues, all of which sound great. There has been some mention on the a Dinosaur Jr fan page on FaceBook about the 2019 reissues and they seem positive. I agree though- I'd rather start with original masters when possible.

I bought all 4 of the 90’s reissues from Cherry Records in the UK. They are fantastic (I only got CDs). Tons of b sides and live shows, with great liner notes for each album.
And if you have not listened to any of the reunion albums, they are top notch, especially Beyond, Farm, and Sweep It Into Space.

Agreed on all counts! They really did the reissues right.

This is a pretty cool conversation between J and Richard Thompson
“The finest rock songwriter after Dylan.” “The best electric guitarist since Hendrix.” Who is this man? A man who packed more than a lifetime of experiences into his late teens and twenties? None other than international and longtime beloved music legend Richard Thompson.
The master of British folk music joins us via livestream with an intimate look at the early years of his career, encapsulated in his memoir Beeswing: Losing My Way and Finding My Voice 1967-1975. In this conversation with Dinosaur Jr.’s J Mascis, Thompson takes us on a moving journey through the pivotal years of 1967 to 1975, when he formed the band Fairport Convention with some schoolmates and helped establish the genre of British folk rock. The journey then takes us through a heady period of massive tours, where he crossed paths with the likes of Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and Jimi Hendrix. But while there were some high highs, there were undoubtedly some low lows. The eight-year period was also marked by change, upheaval, and tragedy. Join us for a program featuring a short live performance from Thompson and a conversation that vividly captures the life of a remarkable artist during a period of creative intensity, in a world on the cusp of change.
Richard Thompson‘s widely beloved early work within the band Fairport Convention revived British folk traditions, and his duet albums and performances with Linda Thompson are legendary. His songs have been covered by Elvis Costello, David Byrne, Bonnie Raitt, Emmylou Harris, and REM, among others. He continues to write and perform, and to tour widely. He lives in New Jersey.
J Mascis is a musician, producer, and film composer, best known as the frontman of the influential indie rock trio Dinosaur Jr. He started as a founding member of the hardcore band Deep Wound, until co-founding Dinosaur Jr. in 1984. In 1991, Dinosaur Jr. disbanded and Mascis released More Light, his first recording under the moniker J Mascis + The Fog. He often plays with other bands in addition to performing solo, and has been heavily involved behind the scenes producing and mixing records for highly regarded acts.

Yes! Love 'em all. Farm is one of my favorite albums of theirs and of all my records! Also really dig the Bug Live at the 9:30 Club DVD. I've watched all or parts of it numerous times and have the LP. Great stuff!

It looks like the translucent purple vinyl is available again at Dinosaur Jr's shop!
Good luck, Brian. Hope you can grab one!
Ah, thanks man. Too late though, I ordered from Bullmoose. Bummer, but at least I'll get it.
