New Dinosaur Jr Album on May 1st !!!!
 

Jonathan Cohen, N.Y.
Reunited alt-rock trio Dinosaur Jr. has signed with Fat Possum, which will release in the spring unveil the band's first album with its original lineup since 1989. The 11-track "Beyond" is due May 1; it was recorded at vocalist/guitarist J. Mascis' home studio in Amherst, Mass.

"Dinosaur is something where the sound just propels us," bassist Lou Barlow told Billboard.com in October. "It's an energy source unto itself. The minute we started playing together, it was like, 'Oh, there it is.' It didn't surprise me though, since I've always believed in the quality of J.'s material."

As previously reported, a live DVD will follow later in May. Directed by Mascis' brother-in-law, Phillip Virus, the release will include live performance footage from the first half of Dinosaur Jr.'s reunion tour, including shows in New York and Boston. In February, Nike will also make available a limited edition Dinosaur Jr. skate shoe.

Barlow recently committed to a spring reunion tour with his post Dinosaur Jr.-band, Sebadoh, but according to a spokesperson, there will be additional Dinosaur Jr. live shows this year.

Here is the track list for "Beyond":


"Almost Ready"
"Crumble
"Pick Me Up"
"Back to Your Heart
"This Is All I Came To Do"
"Been There All the Time
"It's Me"
"We're Not Alone"
"I Got Lost"
"Lightning Bulb"
"What If I Knew..."

Fuck yes, right on my birthday. Cant wait to see how the material sounds.

thanks for this info! I cannot wait! That DVD will be th SHIT!

I just heard about this. Sweet-ass!

Dude, I remember telling you that this morning at like 4:30 while we were driving back from Tom's house! The dvd with us in the audience is coming out around then too, I believe. Maybe we'll be in it (if they didnt edit us out). And then we can show every Doubting Thomas that we were there. We can shove it right in their faces!

Check this shit out too...

I can't believe J drinks water...

Greatest...Skateboard...Ever!

j is a buddhist mnow

he does not smoke the copious amounts of green ganj either

I don't think he ever smoked copious amounts of green anyway, it gave him a headache or something. He was pretty straight edge compared to Lou and Murph

no way man! that is the second greatest bpard ever. this is the first!!!

whoop dee doo.

Yeah, that one is pretty fuckin sweet too.

Awesome. Dinosaur is waaaay better with Mr. Barlow

I hope this record doesn't suck.

woo how exciting. i hope they come to aus again, would love to see them once more.

Yeah, me too. But I thought the new songs they played at ATP sounded cool, so that's a good indication. On a different note - I just found out that Kevin Shields was doing the sound for them when they played said ATP show. Strange.

Lucky you. Can't wait for May the first. Should be a lot of good albums this year, some that are expected are:
Radiohead
Pixies
Primus
Smashing Pumpkins (Though I'm sure it will suck)
SYR Boxset (Hopefully)

I'm betting that the best out of this lot is likely to be Radiohead, only because all other bands have recently reformed and sometimes comebacks can be hit or miss. Hopefully I'm wrong.

Mmm...stab in the dark: I think it might sound EXACTLY LIKE EVERY OTHER DJ RECORD!!!!!!

I might be wrong.

nice!




HELL YES MIGHT I SAY....

like kegmama said, new album , new tour, so they might be coming here.

im gonna wait till the dino nikes come out and maybe get them.

I can't wait till the dino nikes come out! I'm already gonna maybe get some!

Damn right. Lou's new song is really good, J's just sounded like the J Mascis and the Fog stuff which i think is pretty boring.

Why a sneaker? What's the point?

If there's a market, somebody's gonna take/make money from it. Simple as that.

It just seems kinda lame is all. Dino Jr are musicians, not fashionistas. Shoes just seem too arrogant hip-hop. They're not even nice shoes. So when does the Dinosaur Jr vodka come out?

Fuck if I know.

You sure they even licensed it? People have been selling Minor Threat/Fugazi shirts for years without MacKaye/Dischord's express consent. He just doesn't care, for the most part.

Maybe it's something like that.

I wouldn't know. Never been too big a Dino Jr. fan.

Hey man, id be all over djr vodka.

Can you imagine how many cd's they'd sell if their fans were drinking that all the time? It's genius!

dinosaur skate shoes for the skaters

Dinosaur Jr vodka for alcoholics. Which most Dino fans are.

when do dinosaur dinosaurs come out?

hah. not funny

The first few, i.e. the ones with Lou, don't sound like the later ones.

The later albums are just J's self-pitying whiny nonsense. The early ones are rather good though, and contain several Lou songs.

So who knows? Now that they're back to their original lineup, it could be okay. I'm guessing it's gonna be a let down though.

album is out
