You may remember them from high school or college - they were on the indie grunge scene then, and they're back in SF - Dinosaur Jr. They're not New Wave or that other poppy stuff from the 80's - more friends of Sonic Youth and Pearl Jam.
Get out your Doc Martens and flannel shirts and head over to Amoeba tomorrow (Tuesday May 15) to see Dino Jr. in action. The clips I listened to on iTunes totally brought me back to a time when I made mix tapes and listened to music for hours in my room, while reading every word of the liner notes. I miss those days sometimes...
