Stream Felled Trees Dinosaur Jr. Tribute Album

Where We Been

A couple of weeks ago, I called your attention to two of the tracks from the upcoming tribute to Dinosaur Jr.'s major-label, alt-rock classic, Where You Been. Members of several emo bands like Texas Is the Reason, Samiam, and Knapsack, going by the name Felled Trees (I'm thinking that's a "Start Choppin" reference), all contribute on Where We Been.

Soon after clicking "Publish" on that post, I headed over to Siren Records and placed my pre-order. Well, Where We Been comes out today; and the good folks at Siren have made it available to stream via their Soundcloud.

Thanks to Friend of CoolDad Music (we'll coin FoCDM for that from now on) ScotchLaRock for calling my attention to the stream. I've now got the soundtrack for when I put all of my conference calls on mute today.

Enjoy!

There's Gonna Be a Where You Been Tribute Album!!!

Felled Trees, Where We Been

This year marks the 20th anniversary of J Mascis's second post-Lou Barlow record as Dinosaur Jr. Probably Dinosaur Jr.'s biggest success commercially, the major label effort, Where You Been, gave the world 90s anthems like "Out There," "Start Choppin'," and "Get Me." It's one of the albums for which both CoolMom and I share an unbridled love.

Felled Trees, a project featuring contributions from members of bands like Texas Is The Reason and Knapsack, will be releasing a full-album cover of this 1990s alt-rock classic on October 15th. So far they've given us previews in the form of... ...well, in the form of two of my favorite songs ever.

I approve.

Stream "Get Me,"



and head over to Brooklyn Vegan to check out "Start Choppin'."
