Wonderful band I really just love the whole laidback to fuck attitude J has. Also he's a great guitarist. Just really gotten into them more over the last 2 years in a big way. I love "discovering" bands haha
J Mascis played Whelan's on his own a few years back, and they've a new album out, so does anyone think J, Murph & Lou will hit these shores anytime soon?7

They seem to be releasing music on a regular basis, so can't see why they wouldn't come over here for one of these albums. Whelans would be amazing, but I'm sure it would be at a bigger venue. I also only really got into them/him in the last couple of years. Can't believe I missed them (for the most part) back in the early 90s. I would've absolutely loved them.
His solo stuff is brilliant too.

They're great live. I saw them in the Button Factory (may have been TBMC still?) in '06 or '07 and then in the Academy a few years later, and again last year at Primavera Sound. They've been touring pretty hard the past few years, so I can't see any reason they won't come back soon.
J's solo stuff is as good as a lot of Dinosaur Jr's band output in my opinion. There's an album from ages ago, More Light, that's well worth seeking out (it has contributions from Kevin Shields and Bob Pollard, and his touring band had Mike Watt and occasionally the Asheton brothers...the guy has taste).
Lou's Sebadoh have a lot of solid albums too...
I know I'm probably preaching to the converted here, but for anyone into these guys, this book is brilliant...

Would have loved to have seen them first time around. This version of Freak Scene in the film 1991: The Year Punk Broke is one of my favourite live videos by any band. The energy they give off is amazing.

Love the guitar in Feel The Pain.
Bought Without A Sound decades ago, never really got into it that much.
Really like a handful of their songs, love the rolling loud guitars
Saw them live in Galway a few years back, very good.
Spend many, many great nights in Freakscene nightclub (by Alan Fad) in Cork, named after Dinosaur Jr.
