Dinosaur Jr is forthcoming with reissues of Bug & You're Living All Over Me, too.
Is this where I mention that J. Mascis often comes into the store where I work and is a total creep?
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

He's one of those people who's very close with a few people, but shy around everyone else and that often comes across as rude or creepy. YJMV.
Hmm. I suppose I could give him the benefit of the doubt. But he still creeps me out. (Edit: which is not really giving him the benefit of the doubt, now is it?)
He was quite a bit intimidating when I talked to him at SXSW (at the Consonant show). It may have been shyness, but it came across as assholitry. 'Course, that was exactly what I expected of the man, and I was not disappointed.
Joe: one of us, one of us, one of us. V. is calling your name.
WFMU is playing "Captain Groovy and his Bubblegum Army." Before that they played "I Want Candy."
Have I mentioned how much I love WFMU?
Edit: I guess the guy who wrote these songs (and a whole bunch more) just died.

Richie Cordell, part of the team that did most of the Tommy James and the Shondells hits. (And consequently also worked with Joan Jett.)
New Mission of Burma!! and new Magnetic Fields - in the same day! It's like they know me.
I also picked up the new Iron & Wine and the TV on the Radio CDs. It's been too long since I went to the record store.
The tracks from the MoB record up on the Matador site rock and rock and rock. I gave it to a co-worker to listen to first, because I'm so damn nice, but I am looking forward to blasting my neighbors later. (I would feel guilty about this if I didn't call my neighbors Mr & Mrs Shouty behind their backs.)
The MoB CD has a quicktime video trailer of the forthcoming documentary.
So I am filled with giddy bliss because I scored those two rare Glam comps (by trade) and it's just splendid and ridiculous stuff.
Just consider the titles, like "Teen Wave," "Rub My Tummy," "Fraulein Love," "Lucifera," "Bungalow Love" (this is glam?), "Earthling," "Denim Goddess," and "Rock Roller Coaster." Plus they have great covers and design.
