MP3: Dinosaur Jr – “I Want You to Know” from Farm, due June 23 on Jagjaguwar.
“Hey, you’re the one who’d know / Stay with me, I can’t let it go / Hey, you put it in my head / Stay and see, you know what you said.” I don’t know what it is about J Mascis‘ voice, but he manages to conjure up all the feelings of being young and insecure and nervous and excited and smartassed and lazy… I guess he just sounds like college to me. His voice is like sunshine filtered through sheer curtains and cigarette smoke.
