Dinosaur Jr fans take heed, while their Toronto show at the Phoenix has been delayed until January 21st, you can get a small fix of them tonight. NPR will be webcasting the band's entire show tonight from the 9:30 Club in Washington, DC. You can catch the action beginning at 8:30pm with Lou Barlow's solo set. You can watch it all here.

It's no secret, I love me some Dinosaur Jr., and NPR just announced that they will be live-streaming the Dinosaur show from the 9:30 Club coming up tomorrow night, October 8th with an opening set from Lou Barlow's band kicking the 'cast off at 8:30ET. Dinosaur Jr. rules live, so if you are going to miss them on their fall tour (like me) then this is a great time to hear the ear-bleeding madness that is J Mascis.

Several sweet releases hit stores today, and you can preview a few in this week's Pop Candy podcast.
On more than one occasion I've been shooting the breeze with someone about music and cool live shows we've seen and the other person will say something to the effect of "...by far the loudest concert I've ever been to was Dinosaur Jr." And from how they always go on to describe it to me, it doesn't usually sound like it's even all that close. And while co-headliners Built to Spill and their brand new CD are getting just as much attention as the Dino Jr. boys, the thing that is being overlooked here is the opening band. [...]

"Too Much Time," from John Vanderslice's Romanian Names is one of my favorite tracks of the year, and I was pleased this week to see that he's released a demo of the song to gear up for the single's 73 release. The stripped down model of the dreamy contemplative track is on the playlist we're offering you today, and in about fifteen words I'm going to link up a vid of Vanderslice performing "Forest Knolls" with a full on orchestra just because every track on this album mystifies and stops me dead in my tracks. It's an arresting [...]
This week, Woods get sent to Islands.Are you ready for a podcast that's going to show you a ton of good music that'll your brain in an exuberant display of ecstasy? Good! Because we've got the new Islands album, Vapours, ready to go. Frontman Nick Thorburn did well scaling the instrumentation back from Arm's Way; going for a more simplistic, drum machine-based approach with this new record.We've
Dinosaur Jr., Middle East Downstairs, 10/2/09; Photos by Michael Piantigini Whose crowd is more enraptured by the sound of "Just Like Heaven?" The Cure 's? Or Dinosaur Jr 's? My money's on the latter. By the time the band got through to this capper of their 80 or so minutes, tonight's adoring crowd went nuts at the sound of that bass line. Sure, Dinosaur Jr. is part nostalgia trip, especially for loooong-time fans - how could they not be? But the ranges in age at the gig, along with the band's two especially strong [...]
Since we capped off September with a bang , it's only appropriate we do the same to kick off the month of October. Boy, the year has flown by, eh? It's already time to start putting together new our year-end and decade-end lists , talk festival rumors, and maybe launch something pretty incredibly new and awesome. This and more will be coming in the month of October from your friends here at CoS. In the meantime, let's do that kick off with a band thingy with this week's edition of our Friday Mixtape... NEW Singles: [...]
3VOOR12:n kuuntelupisteessä jälleen tuoreita levyjä koekuunneltavissa: Lou Barlow: Goodnight Unknown Girls: Album Monotonix: Where Were You When It Happened? The Mountain Goats: The Life Of The World To Come Why?: Eskimo Snow
Toward the end of August, man of many bands Lou Barlow gave us an intimate look into the making of his latest solo effort, Goodnight Unknown.The LP is out now via Merge Records, and its polished production makes Lou's toy box of tricks sound bottomless. Check this track:MP3: Lou Barlow- "Gravitate"For more on Lou Barlow, try this place: loobiecore.com.
Band: Lou Barlow From: Los Angeles, CA Sound: plaintive and intimate, fractured and rousing; really condensed, and a little bit fucked up Similar Artists: Sebadoh, Folk Imposion, Pavement, Beck, Bob Mould, Smog, Silver Jews Listen: "Gravitate" One of the most prolific and influential songwriters of the past twenty years, Lou Barlow is a man who needs no introduction. From the early days of playing in Amherst, MA, with J Mascis in the hardcore band [...]
To honour the growing trend towards lo-fi music, Dazed has put together an excellent little playlist, with many current bands including Trailer Trash Tracys, Grouper, Let's Wrestle and genre daddy Lou Barlow contributing exclusive material. I'm never too sure why I like lo-fi - it seems akin to skinny jeans, walking to work or La Roux, where coolness doesn't exactly bring [...]
Sometimes in our RSS-haze we forget that "indie rock" wasn't always so fashionable. In fact, if you go back to early nineties, the style was a lack of style, and not in some "I'm going to wear this because no one would think that I would actually wear this" sort of way. (Looking at you Mom jeans .) Rather, it was earnest, as if all indie rockers of the '90s merely woke up, saw their jeans and put them on. It was honest. It was real. Often, it was pretty ugly. While the slacker style has surely come back [...]
Don't you agree? (Due out Tuesday October 6 on Merge Records, Lou Barlow's Goodnight Unknown features drumming by Melvins' Dale Crover. Check out more videos here.) -GS [Gary Suarez is a jerk.

Stereogum multiplies the lo-fi effect as Lou Barlow turns in a cover of Franklin Bruno . Fi so lo, it can barely stand to be digital.
This current lo-fi thing is fun, but it's nothing new. As a reminder, longtime brainy singer-songwriter Franklin Bruno's newest release, Local Currency: Solo 1992-1998 , collects material from 7"'s and compilations from the years noted. During Shrimper's heyday, Bruno was one of my favorites via his solo material as well as his work with John Darnielle in the Extra Glenns and his full-band project Nothing Painted Blue. He was a kind of black sheep: Whereas Darnielle's boombox hissing and howling captured the fuzzy aesthetic of the label and period (see also Refrigerator, Sentridoh, Goosewind, Paste, Wckr Spgt), something about [...]
At this stage we've really come to know exactly what to expect when we get a Lou Barlow record. Whether it's his solo material or recording with Sebadoh, Sentridoh, or Folk Implosion, we know the music on the disc will be lo-fi rock that has mucho slacker appeal.So we know what Barlow's forthcoming album Goodnight Unknown (out Oct. 6th) is going to sound like right? Not so fast bucko. Barlow
