We Say...
Seattle wasn't the only pea patch watered by kids of the ‘80s seeking to escape MTV and make punk their own. Lou Barlow and J. Mascis, two seemingly lackadaisical nerds from collegiate Northampton, Mass., turned their hardcore band into Dinosaur Jr. after realizing that the precision of thrash-and-mosh left little room for the sonic rambling that suited their hazy attitude. The resulting sound embodied one of indie rock's key emotional realities: the hormonal flux of misfit boys bent on claiming their cock rock inheritance, but scared of it as well. (Is there a sadder attempt at a romantic gesture than "In a Jar"?) Running wild with his effects pedal while mumbling insecurities into the mike, Mascis was rock's ultimate loser-hero, while bassist Barlow (who'd later found the equally influential Sebadoh) provided mind-expanding atmosphere. And don't forget the drums by Murph — the band's one unambivalent rocker, who held up its shaky treehouse with basic brute force.
“ The indie iTunes — Hardcore music fans are migrating to eMusic, the iTunes Music Store's cheaper, cooler cousin.”
