I’m psyched to check out this episode! None of these are favorites, but I do like that Dino Jr. album a lot. They’re one of those odd bands that have been around forever, that I’ve enjoyed often, but never bought an album or saw a show. Not sure what’s stopping me from becoming a full-on fan, but J Macsis is a great guitarist and a good songwriter. He’s also remarkably durable - the last two albums were as good as anything they released in the 80s!
Thanks for the comment, Jeremy! I've been in sort of the same boat re: Dino Jr., though I'm sure with less exposure than you've had. I haven't been to one of their shows, but I have seen J Mascis in the crowd at two shows (Lou Barlow, Mary Timony)!
