MY MORNING JACKET "It Still Moves" (RCA) is the perfect soundtrack to a humid, Southern summer night. Drenched in reverb created in a grain silo, My Morning Jacket summons the lost spirit of classic Neil Young with its heartbreaking melodies. Not since Dinosaur Jr.'s J. Mascis has a vocalist so purely captured the sweetness of a first crush the way Jim James does.

J. Mascis! He fucking rules!  :)

Hey is that a singer?  Here in belgium we also had our own J mascis but he was a kind of bodybuilder/stuntman, but he committed suicide several years ago. It can't be the same bloke?

[peanut butter puddin surprise]

Nah, J. Mascis was the creative force in Dinosaur Jr., a late-great indie combo you've probably heard of...
