J Mascis – Someone Said

Biography
Amherst, Massachusetts, United States (1984 – present)
Born Joseph Mascis on 10th December 1965 in Amherst, Massachusetts, United States, in the early 1980s he founded the short-lived hardcore group Deep Wound with his high school friends Lou Barlow and Scott Helland. He started out on drums, but moved to guitar when he went on to found Dinosaur Jr. (with bassist Barlow and drummer Patrick “Murph” Murphy in 1984), which achieved national and international success. After Mascis dismissed Barlow from Dinosaur Jr. in 1989, he recorded several more Dinosaur Jr. albums until 1997, including the 1996 acoustic solo album Martin & Me. He then went on to produce albums with his new band, J Mascis and the Fog, starting in 2000.
In April 2005, Mascis joined up again with Barlow and Murph, as the original trio of Dinosaur Jr., to begin a tour celebrating the re-release of the group’s first three albums.
In August 2005, Mascis released a new solo album as J Mascis and Friends, J and Friends Sing and Chant for Amma, an album of devotional songs dedicated to Hindu religious leader Mata Amritanandamayi, or Ammachi, about whom he had previously written “Ammaring” on the first J Mascis and the Fog album More Light. The proceeds from the album are being donated to Tsunami relief efforts by Ammachi’s organisation.

nihilisticrobot, way too mellow? thats what makes it so good.. 'where you been' wouldnt have been as awesome if it hadnt been for 'not the same' pushing out the same ear killing songs for 40 years? no, this record was excellent.. in fact, even the version without lyrics is excellent. the music alone is great.

Several Shades of Why is way too mellow. It doesn't move me. I blame J's age and his years of smoking weed. It's rather dull. Sorry, guys.

incredible new album, but no surprise from a man that can do no wrong and with so many great artists taking part. J(esus) Mascis? Jesus wished he ripped half as hard as J. only the devil could be responsible for this.
