Clearly the same artist that did Farm. So sick. Less than two months til the March 15 release date!

An all new acoustic album! From Pitchfork:Every so often, Dinosaur Jr. frontman/legendary indie guitar shredder J Mascis plays a solo acoustic show. These shows aren’t much like the classic Dinosaur sludge-fest: Mascis sits down in the middle of the stage, picking at an acoustic guitar and only rarely mashing down on an effects pedal to blast off into one of his inimitable solos. On March 15, he’ll release Several Shades of Why, an acoustic album on Sub Pop. The album will feature no drums. Tracklist below:Several Shades of Why:01 Listen to Me02 Several Shades of Why03 Not Enough04 Very Nervous and Love05 Is It Done06 Make It Right07 Where Are You08 Too Deep09 Can I10 What HappenedSeriously seriously hyped!

On top of this awesomeness J has a new solo album coming on Sub Pop. “Mascis is currently touring Europe with Dinosaur Jr. and putting the finishing touches on a solo album for Sub Pop Records”.

So awesome.

Awesome.

So hyped!  Still hoping the Ft Collins show gets uploaded too.

This song killed it at both shows.  Song of the day.  Concert of the year.  Album of the year.  Band of the last two centuries.

Pre Dinosaur Jr Pizza fest in Boulder.  I only ate one slice.  Sorry Gordon.Lou Barlow & The Missingmen.  Wasn’t so hyped on the Boulder show, but they killed it in Ft Collins.A couple photos from the Boulder show.  Both shows were awesome.  The setlists were quite a bit different.  The highlights from the Boulder show for me were Thumb, Forget The Swan, Raisons, Pieces, I Want You To Know and surprisingly Freak Scene.Little Jack was there.Reed was there too and even bought me a beer.  Sick!Here’s the setlist for the Fort Collins show:Thumb
Leper
Kracked
Imagination Blind
Get Me
Pieces
Plans
Pick Me Up
Feel the Pain
Over It
Little Fury Things
The Wagon
Freak Scene
Gargoyleencore:No BonesThe LungOn a scale of 1 – 10 Ft Collins was a 50.  In the top 5 shows I’ve seen in my life.  It was so good that no one could really speak after it was done.  They didn’t play my dream setlist but they did play my request of Leper for Zach.  So sick.  The sound at Aggies was much better and it was way louder.  Ft Collins rules.  They played Gargolye for a long time and ended it with this crazy noise that seemed like it would blow out an amp.  Between songs they jammed more then I’ve ever seen and seemed as happy as ever.  I hope they keep it going.

I just emailed their manager requesting the following setlist at the show next week:

I could go without hearing Freak Scene for the billionth time, but oh well, the crowd loves it.

Pretty much as epic as it gets.
