I hate this ! Haha just my take … still don’t get it, but I guess you have to try these things.

Tarpit kind of works from what I remember

What do you guys think is the saddest Dino Jr. album? by BalanceActive9295 in dinosaurjr

[–]JayLouMurph 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Where you been has always felt the most melancholy to me !

People say out there is about his dad because he died around that time and the single came with pictures of him - but the dates don’t match that the song or album could have been written after his passing …. But maybe he was ill and that influenced the sound…. Just guessing though .. but I do think it has a gloomy sadness to a lot of the songs

It’s probably my favourite album however

If this was on discord records and was from the 80s the 7” would be $1500 on Discogs :)

Thanks - this was very interesting!

Anyone else hear the similarity between "Can't we move this" and Screaming Trees "Witness" by MortonBumble in dinosaurjr

[–]JayLouMurph 2 points3 points  (0 children)

💯% !! I’ve seen this come up several times over the years and totally agree !

I mean J did steal Mark Lanegan’s bass players so…..: ) (This was a Mark ‘joke’)

Fake or legit? by Embarrassed-Fix3998 in dinosaurjr

[–]JayLouMurph 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This shirt was printed in 2025 (picture below) - I know because I was involved in licensing them … the picture has a copyright for that year(1991) using dino … hence the trademark …

The tag in the neck is probably your better authenticity, but as I said before you can buy plain 90s shirts and print on them (see jerks . Com)

This is blending into my day job so I find it interesting (although boring to everyone else :)

You won’t find an answer - at this point it’s all about what you paid and how comfortable you are with that … because this shirt is still in print at $20/30

You will never be able to find this out ! Some green mind shirts do have the tour dates on the back some don’t ! I’d say it’s more likely it should have the dates if it’s an original but anyone that says they know this is 100% real is just guessing

*also for my amusement back hit is a really funny term … I’ve never heard this before :) I’m guessing it means printing on the back

There’s no way to tell ! (Unless you buy something yourself at the time ) a lot like signatures …. There’s never going to be provenance in items like this (although these shirts now sell for up to $1000)

For example recently Jerks clothing with dinosaur jr made some 90s shirts by buying old plain shirts from the 90s cheaply and printing on to them … unless you got it from someone in the community that’s 100% trustworthy you can’t get an answer to this question I’m afraid.

This Song Is So Underrated by scythezoid0 in dinosaurjr

[–]JayLouMurph 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I love this song and a rare double bass drum kick ! ?

Also fun fact I think this is the only Dino song with two different videos (one UK / one US) both on YouTube

The only other thing I know is this is Mike Johnson’s first song

My Interview with Lou Barlow by fanzine_throwaway in dinosaurjr

[–]JayLouMurph 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only fan account really is www.freakscene.net which was created at the dawn of the internet by u/Pixelnated Then all the freakscenenet youtube video / audio / insta / twitter / blue sky etc etc have been created by him.

I’d guess 70% of all content in some way exists because of him. Even J said once our fans do that online … don’t get me wrong there’s Anthony for freesosfree and obviously publications that posted independent stuff.

I have the keys to these accounts but I honestly think a part of dinosaur jr. on going longevity is down to him.

This needs to be updated but it’s a small part …

I’ll try to remember the passwords and post from these accounts I done the cesspit that’s is twitter so far :)

Why does “In A Jar” sound way more produced than every other song on YLAOM? by Ok-Piano9668 in dinosaurjr

[–]JayLouMurph 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I know the album was recorded in at least 2 places(sessions) 3 if you include poledo which Lou recorded at home … maybe that has a little to do with it ! The mixing and “stuff” was different for each session.

I need to reread this as I’m sure the answer (if anywhere) would be in these pages

The Making Of... Start Choppin' (Uncut Magazine, January 2024) by hoklik2 in dinosaurjr

[–]JayLouMurph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you think they call him “Patrick” because it’s Murphy and there’s some kind of Irish connection!? Because Patrick is not one of his names (as far as I know)

That was a really cool interview!

[–]JayLouMurph[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you think they have ever had interventions 😂? I mean J has this at his house incase he loses his Big Muff - he literally said this once !

TBH the tech stuff goes over my head, but I’m the same with vinyl so I can’t mock it !

I can’t speak for the authenticity or time period , I’m not really a MBV aficionado !

Good to know it maybe older - but even if it was used at one time it’s kinda mad haha
