J Mascis: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

The loudest guy in the world came to the Tiny Desk to perform some of his quietest music. Dinosaur J Mascis, for years a guy who s turned my ears red, showed up armed with just an acoustic guitar. I even had an amp for that guitar all lined up, but he decided to not plug in. So we get a rare treat: a lowkey J Mascis, performing emotional songs from his new album Tied To A Star, as well as Dinosaur classic Little Fury If you think Mascis draws all his power from sheer volume, this ought to convince you otherwise.
