Grunge elder statesmen Mark Arm, Kim Thayil, Tad Doyle and Jack Endino formally announce Sub Pop’s free 25th anniversary concert, in Seattle July 13.
The Silver Jubilee lineup so far: Mudhoney, J Mascis, Greg Dulli, Pissed Jeans, Shabbazz Palaces (with THEESatisfaction), Baptist Generals, Shearwater, Father John Misty.
Not announced on the video, but confirmed to perform: Brothers of the Sonic Cloth and Endino’s Earthworm. (More TBA.)
Keep brand Shaheen desert boot designed by Dinosaur Jr.’s J Mascis. (They’re vegan!) Each pair will come with a 7-inch picture disc, featuring a previously unreleased J Mascis track. Available now for pre-order.
Pay no attention to the “remix” label of this Dinosaur Jr. song—it’s a full-on cover, a reinterpretation of Phoenix’s excellent new single “Entertainment.”

Dinosaur Jr. sounds just as vital and intense as it did when it first formed 28 years ago. Hear the brawny rock trio play tracks from I Bet On Sky on World Cafe.

"I feel like I could still go to prison for this." A brief excerpt from Vulture's Q&A with Dinosaur Jr. bassist Lou Barlow
| Vulture: | Legend has it that eerie voices heard in the background on “Raisans” and “In a Jar” are from recordings you surreptitiously taped at a mental institution. How did that come about? |
|---|---|
| Lou Barlow: | It was a nursing home. I was working there as an orderly. Being older I’m like, What an asshole I was for doing that, but at the time I was making a lot of tape collages, and I’d record funny, weird stuff. There was a woman whose back was always itchy. I’d rub cream on it and she really loved it. And I recorded her responses. There was another guy who, when we put him into the bath, he screamed like he was dying, so I recorded that. I feel like I could still go to prison for this. It was really, really, really uncool. |
