A man of few words

Pity the person - the Guardian's Paul Lester in this instance - charged with extracting words from J Mascis. Credit, then, to Lester for prevailing and eliciting the Dinosaur Jr man's thoughts on the legendary 1991 Rollercoaster tour (with My Bloody Valentine, The Jesus & Mary Chain and Blur), his favourite comedy and having a dentist for a dad. It's also probably the first time that Sonic Youth have been described as the Deep Purple to Nirvana's Beatles...

Oh, and the article also carries the very welcome news that there's a new album, I Bet On Sky, due for release next month.

(Thanks to Owen for the link.)
