That! Feels Good! - Jessie Ware
One of the best pop / disco albums of 2023 so far, I think

I’m a pretty big Dinosaur Jr fan so I’m biased. It it’s a really good record. :stuck_out_tongue:

I only know one Dinosaur Jr song - Feel the Pain. It was my song of choice on Guitar Hero many moons ago. Love that song. What would be a good entry point for listening to them?

Purchased at the No-Ones/Minus 5 gig last night. Scott McCaughey signed the newest Minus 5, and Buck signed the other two. I’m not entirely sure why I didn’t get both to sign all of them. I was a bit starstruck, I guess! Would’ve loved the Norwegian guys to sign too, but they didn’t hang around.

I’ve been streaming the new Minus 5 and No-Ones. Like them both a lot.

Also, I love that Buck signed his picture on the No-Ones cover!

Poignant, seeing the photo of Bill Rieflin on the Dungeon Golds CD. :frowning:

Good question. There’s kind of three phases of Dinosaur Jr: original lineup, major label and reunion.

Recommendations for each phase
Original: You’re Live All Over Me
Major Label: Where You Been
Reunion: Beyond

Thanks, I’ll check those out.

Eric’s Trip - First Album

3 Likes

Just listened to that on youtube, its class. Reminds me of the early My Bloody Valentine eps and early Teenage Fanclub. Shame that its only available in Canada, shipping kills me.

I would also recommend Mega City Four and their Tranzophobia album if you like this kind of thing.

Shipping sucks. There’s so much I’d order if shipping wasn’t so high. It is what it is. Gets me going to local stores anyways.

I’ll look into that Mega City Four album.

I let some friends talk me into going with them to a local record show earlier today. My poor wallet….

This was in the £1 room in my local 2nd hand record shop and I couldnt leave it despite having it at home (and having the vinyl reissue on pre-order…). Its now on constant rotation in the car. Such a great, underated album.

Just bought this one in Edinburgh, since I’m there on holiday. I’d been looking for it for a while, I once had it on CD and loved it.
The guy who sold it to me was wearing a Fables T-shirt :grin:
