J Mascis is a musician best known for the band Dinosaur Jr. His new solo record, What Do We Do Now, is out soon. We chat about our trip up to San Francisco, Andre Nickatina, a dinner at Quince, hoarding family members, how he listens to music, his son likes Playboi Carti, if he likes doing podcasts, he got into fashion from his father, his relationship to the color purple, everyone thinks he’s on drugs, he’s an avid cyclist, Strava is the only social media he uses, he plays golf once a year, the last time he dressed up, we try to convince him to open a restaurant in his hometown, he loves a good lobster roll, breaking both of his legs at the age of seven, he’s been on SNL a few times, he’s tried to watch a bunch of movies lately but couldn’t finish them, and how he ended up on stage with Dave Matthews.
