November 30 2006: Dinosaur Jr., Thalia Zedek - Pearl Street Ballroom, Northampton MA

Whitney came up and we went to see J Mascis and Lou Barlow play some pretty serious rock and roll.

In a nutshell: J played big guitar solos and shook his hair around. Lou tried to break every bass string at once with every beat of every song. Things were way too loud even with earplugs in. Big guys in beards and leather jackets were jumping around alongside guys with strung-out hair and decomposing Sebadoh tshirts. Fists were thrust into the air. People screamed for "More." Some asshole dove into the crowd from the stage. Beers were consumed. The music somehow got even louder. More beers were consumed. Many malnurished and/or immunosupressed audience members went into comas. The guitar solos continued. Lou screamed into the microphone. The dead rose. The lame walked. Etc.
