DINOSAUR JR.
Hand It Over
2019 U.S. 2xLP reissue
Purple vinyl

The final album Dinosaur Jr. made for Warner Bros., one that was unjustly ignored by the label.

Even diehard Dino devotees were unaware it had even come out, & I was certainly one of them. The label heard no single, decided their relationship had run its course, & did NOTHING to promote the record.
A criminal act.

Hand It Over is an INCREDIBLE record, and even though the band “broke up” for a decade shortly after its release, before the original lineup would triumphantly reunite, the record speaks for itself.

Hand It Over’s crown jewel is the song “Alone”; a slow-burning soulful dirge, with some of the nastiest and gnarliest lead guitar work J’s ever done.
It’s an astonishing song.

This edition also comes expanded; including the “Take A Run At The Sun” E.P., a B-side, and live tracks.

ESSENTIAL.

J MASCIS + THE FOG
More Light
2025 U.S. Remastered reissue

SO FRIGGIN HAPPY that they’ve reissued both of the J + The Fog records.

The remaster on this is INCREDIBLE.

J is one of my all-time (hometown) heroes. If you don’t have J. Mascis on your list of most epic guitar gods ever, then I’m afraid I can’t take your list too seriously.

I also picked up Free So Free as well, and they are both more than welcome editions to my vinyl library.

For me, there’s not a weak moment on More Light. Songs like “Waistin” have a sun-soaked #60s California sound to them.
And of course, like ANY album J is on, MONSTER guitar playing.
Because… J Mascis.

I’ll post Free So Free next, but both of these are my two favorite purchases/additions from this year so far.

“Where’d Ya Go” full volume all in your faces.
