Guitar god/Dinosaur Jr. front-man, J.Mascis had around 60 Facebook friends when he asked us to be his friend a week or so ago. This might not strike you as weird but it sure did us. Why would he ask us to be friends? Don’t get me wrong, it’s quite flattering and we love the man and his band. But he hasn’t even asked Pitchfork or Stereogum. Here are some ideas on why:
1. We have the word Indie in our name.
2. We stole one of our logos from a classic skateboard icon (the mouth screaming thing, and we all know J. loves skateboarding)
3. He truly wants to be friends?
4. He actually reads our website – nah.
5. Most likely, his hand accidentally clicked his mouse when scrolling over our logo and made a mistake.
Maybe we’ll try to contact J. Mascis and ask him about it? As for us, well we think if J. Mascis wants to be friends with us then you should too.

J. Mascis has 60 friends on Facebook and we are one of them. But Why?10.0101
Bear considers himself a music lover. Not an afficionade. He is in love with almost every genre of music, but not so much Rap. He loves sad music imbued with nostalgia. He doesn't enjoy bands that sound good on album but somehow forget to play their instruments in a live setting. In fact seeing a band that sucks live makes him never want to listen to music again. He was born in a hick town, then proceeded to move around the country with wanderlust in his eyes. He now resides in the great rain of the North West with the love of his life.
If you are young, have nothing better to do, like bad music, but like to criticize bands you know nothing about then send an email to info @ indierockreviews.com
Love it! J. Mascis is the man, I’ve been his unofficial friend since 1994. Way to go IRR.
