J.Mascis performs at Current Studios
April 6, 2011
Reblogged from minnesotapublicradio.org
St. Paul, Minn. — Best-known as the frontman for Dinosaur Jr., J Mascis is–somewhat surprisingly–laconic and soft-spoken. In interviews, he is known for his minimal responses and repeated disdain for enthusiasm. Besides Dinosaur Jr., Mascis has played in a number of other noisy, dense bands including Witch, Sweet Apple and Deep Wound.
His first acoustic solo effort, “Several Shades of Why,” is a far cry from his previous collection of guitar- and voice-shredding anthems. On this album, he collaborated with Kurt Vile (who he’s currently touring with), Broken Social Scene’s Kevin Dre, and Band of Horses’ Brian Bidwell to produce a delicate record that showcases his versatility as a singer, guitarist and songwriter.
Songs performed: “Listen To Me,” “Several Shades Of Why” and “Little Fury Things.”
Seriously? It’s like you’re Photoshopped! LOVE it. Gotta see it! Ryan Gosling…that is all.

I know a lot of you who read my blog are fans of The Strokes so this is for you. There should also be a vid of The Strokes with Elvis Costello on the sidebar from the same concert so check it out.

Letter Of Note of the Day: Upon learning that Andrew Scott, director of the National Railway Museum in York, was due to retire, 6-year-old Sam Pointon offered himself up as the perfect successor. “I have an electrick [sic] train track,” he wrote in his application.
While the museum thought Sam was tad too young to take the lead, they did appoint him Director of Fun. “I love it. It is good fun,” Sam said shortly after starting his new job. “My favourite is the steam engine, I like it when the wheels go round.”

Robin Pecknold Songs from the Attic
April 4, 2011
So last night Robin Pecknold from Fleet Foxes was hanging out in his attic in the dark, playing his guitar because the sound is apparently really good up there. Here are his tweets:
@fleetfoxes Rode bikes all day, and the attic of the place I’m renting is like a huge reverb chamber right now! This rules!!!!!
@fleetfoxes Like seriously super reverberant. Just been playing guitar in the dark up there. Awesome
Robin Pecknold Songs from the Attic
It’s not the entire song but damn if that ain’t pretty!
You should follow him on Twitter too. He shares lots of stuff. Songs, video’s, great vinyl suggestions and he even shares guitar chords. The man is all about music. So impressed with his complete involvement with everything that has to do with Fleet Foxes.. He may be sewing up some merch T-Shirts as we speak. I would not be surprised!
