Dinosaur Jr. covers Phoenix, releases signature J. Mascis tennis shoe
Dinosaur Jr. has recorded and released its own version of Phoenix’s new single, “Entertainment” and, surprisingly enough, it wasn’t done in malice. Apparently Phoenix frontman Thomas Mars has been a fan of the prehistoric band since he first saw it in 1991, and he and Dinosaur frontman J. Mascis have developed a sort of mutual appreciation society. Mascis and company’s “remix” of “Entertainment” is really just a sleepy cover, but it’s pretty solid all the same.
