...Amherst, MA. J Mascis, Lou Barlow, and Emmett Patrick Murphy (“Murph”) came together as Dinosaur, adopting junior status later due to copyright issues. J and Lou, who had recently broken up their hardcore band Deep Wound, picked up Murph as a drummer, allowing J to emerge from behind the drum kit and to take up lead guitar and vocals. J’s professed love for Neil Young and accomplished songwriting almost single-handedly revived the guitar solo in punk rock, one of the reasons for Dinosaur Jr.’s enduring legacy...

...Road boutique was really just an elaborate prank on the music industry. Indeed, there is more than a measure of irony in the Pistols' being anointed to the iconic pantheon of a genre they had decried as fatuously boring and had aimed to destroy.

Johnny Rotten)-perceive the invitation as long overdue, asserting that they were the only people McLaren swindled, by deviously dividing their loyalties and dissolving the band at the tail end of their acrimonious debut...
...simple days of "Sherry," Crewe and Gaudio had been listening to Phil Spector's productions for the Crystals and Ronettes; the arrangement is both burlier and more complex. The song begins with a snatch of spoken doggerel ("Pretty eyes of midsummer's morn, / They call her Dawn"). Then the drummer has a quick snit fit, and organ and chimes lead into the plaint, "Dawn, go away, I'm no good for you," as a guitar strums 2/4 Latino figures. There are six different melodic elements-hard to call anything in this song a chorus, a verse or a bridge-under...
...Britt Daniel’s dynamic range and suppressed lyrical sensuality. The audience didn’t have to wait too long to get what they wanted, however, and when the climax finally came, Daniel and company made it last for the rest of the night. As soon as drummer Jim Eno began to hammer in the intro to “I Turn My Camera On,” the crowd howled in unison and commenced the shoulder-driven dancing the beautiful song demands. With crowd energy at a maximum, Spoon raged through a sizeable chunk...
