J MASCIS – fed up and feeling strange (live 1993-98) (CD)

Having established Dinosaur Jr as a mainstay of, and influence over, the alternative scene by the mid-1990s, J Mascis began to venture out alone, performing acoustic sets of his band´s material, alongside occasional cover versions. "Fed Up And Feeling Strange" captures three shows recorded across the decade, shedding a fascinating, low wattage light on J and his songs. "Live At CBGB" captures J´s first solo show, performed at the legendary New York club in December 1993, whilst "Martin + Me", which now includes a previously unreleased bonus track, was recorded during a 1995 tour of the USA. Completing the set, a previously unreleased third show, recorded in Copenhagen in 1998, showcases songs from across Mascis' career, including material from "Hand It Over", which would prove Dinosaur Jr´s last album for almost twenty years. * Cherry Red
