Imagination blind, but changing


Short post today on Dinosaur Jr.'s latest album, Farm, which was released back in June. If we think about music in terms of lists, Dinosaur Jr. can be found near the top of many - best band, best album, best guitarist, best cover art, best live band, loudest live band, and best album of 2009. I've always wished that J. Mascis had a bit more going on lyrically, but the band's music continues to be the perfect blend of melody and energy, beauty and noise. Here are two tastes - the lengthy "Said the People" and "Imagination Blind," one of the two Lou Barlow-led songs on the album. Looking forward to having my eardrums blown out again when they come to Minneapolis in November.
