Dinosaur Jr.

'I Bet On Sky' by Dinosaur Jr.

New sounds for me. I guess I'd seen the name previously but had no idea. Then a few nights ago I heard the song, 'Watch the Corners' on the OPB Music overnight radio stream. Delighted to find that not only did I enjoy that one song but I enjoy their body of work which is pretty extensive. Either under this band name or solo efforts by J Mascis.

I love it when that happens!!!

And the bonus of great album artwork!! Worthy of framing.

Discovering Gold

OPB Music overnight streaming ….. turning me on to new sounds and causing sudden trips to the record store. This is from three evenings ago.

• Craig Finn - When No One's Watching
• Geographer - I'm Ready
• Wye Oak - Before
• Beirut - Gallipoli ***** …… I'm obsessed with the trumpets on this. I'd heard it once or twice before but it was this listen that opened my ears to the beauty of the trumpets.
• Dan Black featuring Kid Codi - Symphonies ***** …..  Leading to a download.
• Other Lives - Take Us Alive
• Nilufer Yanya - Paralyzed
• Boreen - Lovely
• Aan - Cause and Effect
• Dinosaur Jr. - Watch the Corners ***** ….. Research, followup research and two trips to the record store. Good amount of music to discover under this name or the band's frontman, J Mascis. .

And a few from the current early morning listening session …..

Finding My Mojo

Music sampler disc that came with the June issue of Mojo Magazine.

One Bob Dylan recording. One Dylan cover. Mostly Americana offerings from musicians who have some sort of association with or comparison to Dylan.

Like a great radio station with no commercials.

Highlight for me, 'New Partner' by Will Oldham.

Additional Highlight: 'You'll Miss It When It's Gone' by The Skiffle Players.
