#JMascis

For the 30th anniversary of Last Splash, I got #TheBreeders lineup—#KimDeal, Kelly Deal, Josephine Wiggs, and Jim Macpherson—to talk Cannonball, tape disasters, accidental experiments, and rediscovering a forgotten tracks.

They also told the story of “Divine Mascis,” a version of “Divine Hammer” featuring #JMascis on vocals, and how it secretly helped them fix a mixing mistake from 1993. And if we'll ever see #TanyaDonnelly jump on stage again.

LPM · The Breeders: "Cannonball was so weird to be a radio hit"By Kyle Meredith

"[...] David Bowie watches multiple channels at once to decode humanity; in the 1980s, J Mascis gave the impression that his band Dinosaur Jr. was a side project, and his main interest was playing guitar while sprawled on a couch in front of a TV. Lennon and Ono were the originals of these slacker prophets."

Fact Check: This was never true of J Mascis. Yes he came to have side projects, but never saw Dino J that way.

BFIOne to One: John & Yoko review: New York state of mindUsing the couple’s own tape recordings and a patchwork of archive clips, Kevin Macdonald takes an intriguing show-don’t-tell approach to the first 18 months of John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s move to New York in late 1971.

“Prior to blowing minds in Dinosaur Jr, Mascis grew up in #Amherst, Massachusetts, as a ‘weird kid’.

A #music obsessive, he would build a wall of furniture around his bed to listen to records by the likes of the #BeachBoys, #DeepPurple and #NeilYoung.

When #Punk hit town, he formed a teenage #hardcore band called #DeepWound – his mum even knitted him a sweater with their name on it.

Obsessed with #NickCave’s the Birthday Party, Mascis would break eggs into his hair to try to emulate the singer’s wild crow’s nest haircut.”
