Singles going steady 23: Dinosaur Jr
In which J Mascis reaches inside to bring out the inner Brian Wilson. He succeeds brilliantly. Why doesn’t he do this more often?

This was written for the film “Grace Of My Heart” in which J appears as a record producer with Matt Dillon as an all-surfing, all-doing-drugs Brian Wilson type pop star. He even got a couple of lines of mumbled dialogue.

Mumbled dialogue indeed. Is the film any good? As for the b-sides, The Pickle Song is surely one of the oddest things recorded under the name Dinosaur Jr. I should post these because this single doesn’t seem to be widely available anywhere…
