Forget what Lou Barlow says , Dinosaur Jr.'s reunion album, Beyond , was awesome. So the fact that J Mascis, Murph and Barlow are making another record together should be enough to make any self-respecting fan of loud-as-hell guitar rock jump for joy. But what might make news of Farm even more exciting is that the band is calling it's sound "old school." And I think I speak for us all when I say another Bug- or You're Living All Over Me- caliber album is just the pick-up we need while we're stuck in this economic downward spiral. The 12-track set will be full of all the extended guitar jams and big drums we've come to expect from the band, and even a few quieter moments (probably from the grumpily lovable Barlow). So clear a spot in your car stereo rotation this summer, or save some memory in your iPod (yawn), because Farm is going to be the best possible way to go deaf this beach season.
