	J Mascis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		J Mascis is an American musician, probably best-known as the singer, guitarist and songwriter for Dinosaur Jr.
		He then went on to produce albums with his new band, J Mascis and the Fog starting in 2000.
		In April of 2005, Mascis rejoined with Barlow and Murph, as the original trio of Dinosaur Jr., to begin a tour celebrating the re-release of the group's first three albums.

	J. Mascis + The Fog/Meat Puppets
		In the mid-1990s, the Meat Puppets and J. Mascis’ Dinosaur Jr.
		In 1997 Mascis quietly released his final album with the Amherst-based trio he had been with since 1984; the Phoenix-based Meat Puppets, together since 1980, did the same two years earlier.
		Mascis + The Fog featuring Mike Watt will perform with the Burning Brides on Sun., Oct. 29, 7 p.m., at The Trocadero, 10th and Arch Sts., 215-922-LIVE, www.trocaderotheatre.com, $12.50.

	Mike Watt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 2000, Watt was asked by J Mascis to participate in a world tour behind Mascis' first post-Dinosaur Jr.
		Watt feared that he would have to temporairily shelve the bass in July 2005 when a crack was discovered in its headstock during a 2005 Stooges European tour; fortunately, he was able to have the instrument repaired in time for the next leg of the tour.
		During his stint with J Mascis and The Fog he used Dean Markey strings on occasion since Mascis was an endorser of that brand and thus could obtain bass strings for Watt free of charge.

		On those albums, Mascis seemed to be weighed down by the size of his own legend and unsure of where the music should be going.
		The songs often included bloated string arrangements, and J Mascis sounded like he was just going through the motions most of the time.
		Yet, Mascis redeemed himself in the eyes of many of these fans with the release of 2000's More Light, which showed him awakening from the prehistoric slumbers that marred those last records and recording under the new name, J Mascis + The Fog.

		J, whose long, flowing "Cousin It" locks have turned a shade or two grayer since Dinosaur Jr.'s late-'80s-early-'90s heyday, is famously laconic in interviews.
		Enough people know J Mascis is God that a number of websites trade bootlegs of his live shows and keep track of the set lists--and it's not all because they are unequivocally devoted to J's back catalogue of Dinosaur Jr.
		J Mascis and the Fog play the Mystic Theatre on Monday, June 7, at 8pm.

		Stripping down Dinosaur Jr's songs to their bare essentials reveals the incredible ability of J's guitar talent and reveals a heart of pure mellow acoustic gold behind the more complex and distorted arrangements to be found on most Dinosaur Jr.
		Mascis' stroke of genius lies in his focused, passionate and heartfelt delivery of his songs which are revealed to be masterpieces in their own right.
		Overall, the sparse acoustic format is a triumph for J Mascis, producing a rich, rewarding sound and is definately recommended for Dinosaur Jr.

	J Mascis + The Fog: Free So Free: Pitchfork Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Once Uma hit it big, J was rudderless, running through chords he knew by heart; at the pit of his melancholy, he recorded "Feel The Pain", which repeats the mantra "I feel the pain of everyone/ Then I feel nothing" over and over.
		Mascis was propped up by Kevin Shields, whose shoulder he cried on through the mid and late 90s; though Sonic Youth wrote their biggest hit "Teenage Riot" about J after Lee Renaldo played on "Little Fury Things", they were enjoying massive major label support for their grunge-era material and had no time to help.
		The former is a bitter, sarcastic indictment of her decision to pursue celebrity; the latter pair hark back to the twisted misery of Dinosaur Jr.'s earliest material, when J still held on to hope that Uma would come walking back through the door.

		J Mascis & The Fog will turn it loud and turn it proud at Alley Katz on Friday the 13th.
		Mascis was the laconic frontman for the influential '80s and '90s band Dinosaur Jr.
		Mascis' guitar histrionics, distortions, and shaky vocals are legendary, and combined with Watt's unpredictable, heavily funked-up bass, it guarantees one mother of a show.

	Slow Thrills Gigs: J Mascis solo
		It seems that J has put the Dinosaur Jr name to bed for good, as he is about to emerge with a fine new album under the name J Mascis and the Fog.
		Naturally someone of J's stature could sell out a venue like this no problem, but I've a feeling that the crowd has been swollen by rumours that he will be augmented by the guests on his album, namely Kevin Shields (MBV) and Bob Pollard (GBV).
		J will back in the UK in December with his new band the Fog, and should be well worth your attention.

		Mascis and The Fog 'More Light' LP on Cityslang.
		The Fog as such don't seem to exist, so as per, it's mainly J, tho Bob from GBV AND J's old pal Kevin Shields are briefly involved.
		The songwriting comes so naturally, some of the trax sound a little shambolic and his voice ident the same weedy Neil Young instrument that it always was, but these songs contain a certain charm, which has been sadly lacking for a while.

	* Dusted Reviews - J Mascis + The Fog *
		High on this list is J Mascis, formerly of Dinosaur Jr., who has quietly released three excellent solo albums (as J Mascis and the Fog), two of them during the past two years.
		The newest album from Mascis and the Fog, Free So Free, is the album that Warner Brothers wish they would’ve gotten from the ’91 Mascis, hits and all.
		Songs done under J. Mascis and the Fog moniker differ very little from those done as Dinosaur Jr., and Mascis’ songs are still simple, clever, and catchy.

	Interviews
		Perhaps that's why J Mascis has titled his latest release J Mascis and the Fog and appears on its cover in silhouette.
		Recently, J sat down with Guitar Center to discuss, among other things, his recording techniques and his affinity for Deep Purple kick drum tones.
		Mascis: The first solo at the beginning is out of the back of the Fender Super Champ amp direct.

	J Mascis and the Fog: More Light: Pitchfork Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		J Mascis stayed holed-up in his Amherst studio, stubbornly true to his project of crafting a post-Neil Young vision of punk rock, and Dinosaur Jr fizzled out.
		Buoyed by the lethargy embodied in his laconic vocal delivery and tossed-off solos-- the qualities that distinguished Mascis as the godfather of slacker rock-- this album sounds nothing short of triumphant.
		Which is funny, because aside from sounding the most excited and invigorated he has in years, J Mascis does little different on More Light.

		Aptly attributed to "the fog", the former Dino Jr.
		Mascis may well be one of the few "indie guitar gods", since the genre favors songwriting and posturing more than fretboard antics.
		J Mascis would go on to follow this album up with Free so Free which is a HUGE fall back from the pure power and energy this album had.

		When he asked what the crowd wanted to here, someone yelled back "J Mascis!" After a passionate Sinead O'Connor cover, his time was up and people started moving towards the stage.
		Mascis and the Fog, which was bassist Matt Hunter and drummer George Berz, took the stage about fifteen minutes later.
		Mascis broke out his Fender Jazzmasters, checked his amps, fooled around with his massive effects board, and then the show started with a Dino classic, "The Lung." It was about halfway through this song that I realized I in fact did need earplugs and put the paper in.

		Without question, J Mascis was one of the most influential rock musicians of the '90s.
		So J Mascis pretty much took over Dinosaur at this point, subsequently signing to a major label (Warner Brothers) and playing every instrument on the acclaimed EP The Wagon and the follow-up full-length Green Mind.
		J has regrouped these days as J Mascis and The Fog.

	Album Review: J. Mascis & The Fog - More Light
		The latter was said to have brought out an ambitious and fiscally minded aspect to Mascis’ attitude to the band which Barlow didn’t much care for.
		With J. Mascis on guitars/vocals and Kevin Shields (of My Bloody Valentine infamy) on everything else and damn it if it isn’t the best record that any of them has ever done.
		The first time I listened to it I thought it was the same as it used to be, as the obvious ingredients are what strike you at first, the unpretentious widdly guitar and the drawly rocking chair on the porch vocals, a reconstituted Dinosaur Jr in everything but name.

	J. Mascis & the Fog: More Light (2000): Reviews
		The solo J. has all the heartfelt keening of Where You Been-era Dinosaur, but with a fresh approach to his trademark blending of powerchords and melodies.
		The good thing with Mascis is that, even without straying in the least from his recognizable sound, he can maintain some degree of unpredictability in his songs.
		The sameyness is still there, granted, but like [Neil] Young, his spiritual godfather, Mascis has a way of making his ramshackle melodies are downright endearing, and if you're a kindhearted soul, that'll allow you to forgive the half-assed stuff.

		We spent nine days of the mission together as part of the J Mascis and the Fog/Cobra Verde tour.
		The Houston show was to be our first of nine dates altogether opening for J Mascis and the Fog.
		J and the Fog's show that night was pretty darn hot if you ask me. They played a lot of the old Dino hits plus a bunch of songs from J's new album, More Light (which you should go buy today).

	nme.com - J Mascis & The Fog - More Light - 6 October 2000 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		It might be a joke on his own absent-minded image, but nonetheless his solo band is called The Fog, and J Mascis - who with Dinosaur Jr opened up the world for the grunge revolution and then decided to skip the party - has no idea what the members actually did.
		For the record the bare facts are as follows - basically the work of J alone, it features the vocals of Guided By Voices' Bob Pollard, and the guitar of Kevin Shields.
		J, however, doesn't know exactly what Shields did but, as swathes of this album feature oodles of FX scree (especially the brute propulsive title track), he could appear on just about anything.

	SOUND CHECK / J Mascis rocks Fog City; / the Orb loses altitude; / no straight-edges and lots of kicks with the Mekons
		Mascis, with the help of his massive effects box, held center stage for the first half of the show.
		Proving that he was as much a pioneer in the '80s rock scene as the Stooges were in the early '70s, the stringy-haired songwriting savant -- credited as the first to make metalesque guitar wankery fashionable in indie rock -- was in top form with his haphazard grandstand solos and ear-bleeding distortion.
		For those who arrived early enough to catch the lo-fi rock openers, Mascis gave the duo a boost on drums for a couple of songs, and Watt also lent a hand on bass for their finale.

	J Mascis and The Fog - PopMatters Concert Review
		The second was in October of 2000 at the Black Cat on the first lap of J Mascis and the Fog's (Mike Watt of Minutemen and Firehose, and George Berz) More Light tour.
		I'd never seen J do a full-band cover, but during their encore, Mascis croaked "Arright, Mike Watt's gonna do a song for ya" and they completely thrashed out the Stooges' "T.V. Eye".
		Also this last time around, they played a three-cover medley in the middle of their set; I couldn't understand what J was saying, but recognized the middle song as a quick fragment of Pavement's "Range Life".

		His taciturn tendencies notwithstanding, Mascis is still an alterna-rock giant—a singer, songwriter, and guitar hero whose influence is writ large on the face of popular music today.
		The day of this conversation, Mascis and the Fog are set to play the annual All Tomorrows Parties Festival in Long Beach, Cal., an indie-rock throwdown headlined this year by band-o’-the-moment Modest Mouse, and also featuring other ground-breaking alt.-acts such as the Flaming Lips, the Cramps, and Lou Reed.
		And once again, he is J Mascis, world’s most somnolent rock icon.
