scottheisel Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 From the inbox: Dinosaur Jr. and Skullcandy have partnered for a special collaboration. Together they will be releasing a collectors package, this Sunday, July 14th, containing customized Aviator headphones, with a limited pressed 7", containing two unreleased Dinosaur Jr. recordings: "The Only Other Way", "The Lung" (Live Recording). The tracks are available now for free download and stream direct from Skullcandy.com (direct link: http://www.skullcandy.com/revolution/dinosaur-jr) To top it off, J Mascis will be playing in-store at Amoeba Records in LA, Sunday, July 14th, to collaborate with the official release of the Skullcandy package. The event is free, but early arrival is suggested. The Dinosaur Jr. Aviator Collector's Bundle is limited to 500 production units (100 packages with green splatter vinyl, and 400 with purple). The collector's bundle will be available for $299.99 online at Skullcandy.com at the Amoeba performance, and at specialty music retailers.

Shelby Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Well, to be fair it's a magic floating 7" so it could be worth it. rooks, FlippingOut, Youinreverse and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattalica17 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 i could never pay that much for skull candy headphones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Questhate Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 The Aviators are actually really decent headphones, especially considering its Skullcandy. But they retail for $150 (and can be had for much less). So basically $150 for a 7-inch single? Yikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agreetodisagree Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 When I think J. Mascis I think urban-inspired overpriced headphones. nyhi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 lol this is the worst.There was a time that I idolized J Mascis but I dislike him more as this Dinosaur Jr reunion goes on. Haven't even bothered to listen to the last album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottheisel Posted July 12, 2013 Author Share Posted July 12, 2013 There was a time that I idolized J Mascis but I dislike him more as this Dinosaur Jr reunion goes on. Haven't even bothered to listen to the last album. Last album was decent; the first post-reunion album, Beyond, might be my favorite thing J Mascis has ever done, frankly. Surprised that it turned you off from them. This hurts me as much as the pixies new song hurts me. I actually really like that new Pixies song!

forgeagain Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Not sure who they think is going to buy this. $300? Nuts. I dig all of the recent Dino albums. Haters gonna hate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottheisel Posted July 12, 2013 Author Share Posted July 12, 2013 On the plus side, you can download both of these tracks for free if you just give them your email address. That's way cheaper than $300. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelby Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I need to revisit them. Personally for me post reunion Dino jr. > original Dino jr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Personally for me post reunion Dino jr. > original Dino jr.Nothing beats the original trilogy for me. Hell, I even like the major label only J iteration more than the new stuff. Dinosaur Jr were a life changing band for me so I still have lots of respect (especially for Lou), just have a hard time getting into Beyond and Farm.

throwgncpr Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Personally for me post reunion Dino jr. > original Dino jr. Actually, for me too. I absolutely love the last couple of albums. That said, fuck this $300 7" with headphones horseshit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willow_Tree_Records Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I love all Dinosaur JR. Beyond and Farm are two amazing records though for being post reunion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
searos Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Strange opinion but 'Where You Been' & 'Farm' are my favorite. Beyond is 3rd and dinosaur is 4th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
