Notable Quotes

❝ Mascis is also the one who made the virtuosic guitar solo listenable again, banned by punk.

❝ Well, unlike all the other bands (excluding Pearl Jam and Bush, which still exist, albeit in vain pursuing the success of those years), J Mascis is the last dinosaur of Grunge left in circulation and capable of brushing off this genre with enviable consistency and pleasure even in the new millennium.
