"we're not a fucking festival band"


i bought a ticket this weekend for Dinosaur Jr. who will be playing the fox theatre in boulder, co in april (coincidently a month when amazing things always seem to happen in my life?). i kinda felt obligated to buy a ticket aside from really wanting to. as my brother alludes to in our Muzzle of Bees close-up, i grew up infatuated with lou barlow, Sebadoh unquestionably being one of my favorite bands. i am, however, not quite old enough to be able to claim i was ever able to see a pre-feud Lou in Dino Jr. anyway, point being, with the original line-up in place, this will be a meaningful show for me and i have several months to be excited for it. this post actually is leading into some rare Lou tracks rather some Dino. Jr. tunes. back in my radio days i used to get my hands on lots of short-lived and tested syndicated radio programs. one such package included a Sebadoh live performance that was in fact a recording of a 1996 Reading Festival performance. in lieu of Muzzle delving into the past, i thought it would be great to start off the week with the artist and songs that really resonated in the early years. like countless indie kids in southern new england when i grew up, i idolized the guy through piss-poor, sloppy shows and amazing performances. this picture was taken from a denver show last year that included many requests, a long set and definately qualified itself as one of the better shows. these bbc-recorded tracks are really good as well.

Sebadoh live at 1196 Reading Festival:
"Soul and Fire/Not A Friend/Open Ended"
"Skull/Rebound/Magnet's Coil"
"Drama Mine"
"Beauty of the Ride"
