Garden sounds great! Lou looks like he gig'd Woodstock and we know how Jay detest hippies.

[@JamesTaylor-xl3um]

D jr has no right to be putting out singles like I Ain’t and Garden 30 years into their career. Awesome!

[@Buffalohump77]

Kind of blows my mind that Dinosaur Jr have been making great music for over 30 years. I distinctly remember how excited I was to get my copy of You're Living All Over Me back in '88. I think they must be one of the few bands from that amazing era -- along with Swans -- who are still putting out fresh and awesome music.

Still enjoying the Violent Femme's new stuff :)

[@kappakai78]

I’d been following Dino Jr since 94 when some of my friends introduced me, giving me their copy of Bug while at a British boarding school in Singapore. I was lucky enough to see them live again at Coachella 20 years later and they sounded as good as the first time I heard them. Weird loud and timeless. Love them always.

[@wese8453]

Lou Barlow and Sebadoh meant so much to me in high school. Have a renewed love and appreciation for Dinosaur Jr since they reformed w this line up. What a thrill that they’re also playing Lou’s song Garden together w J’s dazzling songs.

[@slopgangministries2686]

Love Dinosaur Jr with J and Lou back together. Makes me so happy

[@jamesgwarrior1981]

Even the greatest compliment would be an understatement to the greatness that is Dinosaur Jr.

[@theoriginalcheebamech]

Gen X perfection : listening to a favorite from 30 years ago today on NPR

[@MidSouthMotorSports]

I haven't listened to this band since my mid teens. What a beautiful sight to see Lou Barlow still strumming that distorted bass again

[@BrandonMobley614]

I've always loved their style. And I really like Lou Barlow's songwriting style. That second song where he and J switched instruments was awesome.

[@flynnaugustbassist8523]

Ye J’s bass solo was great.

[@lvirag8401]

the transformation to sebadoh jr. is compete--lou's revenge was the long game...

[@sandraguidemann8924]

If I look at them it's a reality: we' ve gotten old. But if I close me eyes to their music I feel young again...18 - in love with my first boyfriend.and already feeling the pain...I love it❤❤

[@rickg8015]

Cool to see J’s bass solo with that Rickenbacker..

[@jrbship]

As much as they deserve to be featured plugged-in and playing loud, I can’t help but wonder how this set would change stripped-down behind Bob’s desk

[@jamsilv]

Like a J Mascis solo acoustic show :)

[@lordbuddybear]

Which is what tdc used to be, a stripped down arrangement in a stripped down setting but with excellent sound recording. This feels a bit like cheating to me, but you said it in a nicer way :) Cheers

[@gluckCMD]

well, by J's standarts, this is a stripped-down show. Only one full stack instead of the usual 3...

[@joshingtonbarthsworth631]

I'm not sure if you are being sarcastic or not, but J. Mascis already did an acoustic set for tiny desk... He's not afraid to do acoustic sets and is really good at it.

[@jrbship]

@@joshingtonbarthsworth631 No sarcasm here, I love this set as-is. But I sort of miss the traditional unplugged Tiny Desks. I have no doubt J. did a fantastic set, I'll have to go check it out. Thanks for the recommendation

[@NunoAngelo]

Since I Was a teenager that Dinosaur Jr has been part of my life, I am now at my middle age and they continue to be an important inspiration. Thank you very much

"Dinosaur Jr's J Mascis has revealed that Kurt Cobain tried to convince him to join Nirvana. "Kurt said, 'you should join my band,'" the guitarist recalled. "I didn't think much about it." The invitation took place in July 1989, Mascis told Spin, after Nirvana had performed at a club in New Jersey." They're a great band/talented frontman, and Kurt saw that.

[@dsm5d723]

Thank you for this.

[@ARogolino1]

What club?

[@joshingtonbarthsworth631]

Pretty sure J was asked twice. Once to play drums and another to play guitar.

[@movimentodoscacos]

@@joshingtonbarthsworth631 Yeah, I've read that too

[@josevillarreal9920]

True, but Mascis was on the verge of writing some of his greatest pieces after that. So, I'm glad he didn't join. Nirvana would of had some amazing solo work over their tracks.

[@charliedunn8541]

I like how j’s version of a tiny desk concert is just using one Marshall stack

[@randreatta]

this new album is amazing. dinosaur jr never disappoint

[@donaldryder5534]

[@blastarrow5938]

The loudest concert I've ever been to was a Dinosaur Jr show.

[@gregrohsful]

Out of all the late 80s and 90s music Dino Jr is the most melodic.

[@geoffmurphy1631]

Taking me back to LSU during the early 90's... these guys were alternative music warriors clearing the way for many other bands willing to take a chance and not play poppy BS radio music.

[@normalcody]

No kidding! I skated all over LSU campus in the late 80’s/early 90’s. Chimes Street churned out some of the most killer bands back then!

[@1adam12...]

Saw Dinosaur in 87' with Das Damen and Sonic Youth at City Gardens here in NJ. I certainly remember that feeling like around 17:28 here when J hits his flanger/boost...the feeling was like standing behind an F-16 and later had to get my face surgically re-attached lol. 1adam12 is happy to see the alchemy working in full force effect in 21'.

[@patriciaadams4171]

Saw them with teenage niece at EAGLES BALLROOM in 90s. Dishwalla and 4 other bands, the ones who did 'Birdhouse In Your Soul'. I'm 64. I like power pop and grunge and all Massachusetts bands.

Getting Youre Living All Over Me for Christmas in Middle School had a huge impact on my taste in music. Timeless album

[@Carlos-xz3vi]

How did you get that album? Like, you asked for it? I am fascinated about how people find out about underground bands like this. I discovered them with Feel the pain, because it was playing on MTV. But how did you?

[@herbertquain6875]

@@Carlos-xz3vi I don't remember exactly but I'm sure I read about them somewhere or other.... What I do remember distinctly is having to pull over and listen to Tarpit maybe 5 times in a row at full volume. Such an under appreciated record.
