I would not have wanted to be Jimmy Fallon's sound guy last night. While most of their job entails making sure Soulja Boy sounds all right when he performs, last night they had to try to prevent Dinosaur Jr and their impressive stack of amps from blowing out TV speakers across America. I think they succeeded, as the band played "Pieces" from their great second comeback album, Farm, without starting a speaker-related fire. J Mascis's vocals are a little more intelligible than normal, but that's cool.

Farm is out now.
