Dinosaur Jr. Rock Fallon Like It's 1989



Dinosaur Jr.
have been back for a couple of years, and have no right being as good as they are. Surely bands that break up and get back together are supposed to have lost something, right? Well not J. Mascis, Lou Barlow, and Murph - who continue to rock it like it's 1989.

Check out their performance on Fallon. Jump to the last notch on the timeline and it will take you to their performance - it should load right up.


OMG, Sunny Day Real Estate Is Back!

One of the greatest American bands in history - Sunny Day Real Estate - is back! I discussed them in a previous post, and a full reunion tour is has been slated, as well as a remastered reissue of their eponymous debut album Diary, and their five-star masterpiece follow up, Sunny Day Real Estate (or the Pink Album as us fans call it).

The Pink Album is in that litany of beautiful, dark, impenetrable sophomore albums with Heaven Up Here by Echo & The Bunnymen, Fun House by The Stooges and White Light/White Heat by The Velvet Underground. Yeah, it's that good.
