Lou Barlow, Dinosaur Jr. and the Ukulele? Huh??

Lou Barlow Interview
Lou Barlow Interview

So, I was reading a Lou Barlow Interview at Clash Music and I felt like I could share it here.  I know this one is stretching it a little bit, but when I read the following, I had to post this:

“In the beginning I thought the scale of the songs I was writing didn't fit with dinosaur - two chord songs written on ukelele. J was composing epics and seemed annoyed by me so I didn't feel comfortable bringing things to him and subjecting myself to ridicule”

Oh man!  I would kill to have been a fly on that wall of those old Dinosaur Jr. Practices.  Watching Lou Barlow trying to explain to J Mascis how some little ukulele song could totally work.  Heh.
