I Like American Music Pt 27 of 50 - Massachusetts pt 6 of 6 - Lou Barlow

  Lou Barlow was a founding member of Dinosaur Jr along with J Mascis and drummer Murph.  Lou was unceremoniously yet creatively dismissed from the band when Mascis informed him that the band broke up and then immediately reformed without Lou.

Dinosaur Jr. - Just Like Heaven (Cure Cover)
  Note that the green muppet thing is wearing a 'Deep Wound' t-shirt. That is the name of the first band that Mascis and Barlow played together in, while still in high school in Amhearst, Massachusetts.



                                   

  Before his Dinosaur Jr departure Lou was working on a side project with Jason Loewenstein called Sebadoh.

Sebadoh - Rebound
  Folk Implosion was Barlow's next endeavor.  They contributed most of the tracks to the soundtrack of Larry Clark's quasi-documentary 'Kids'. Here is the most well known song from that album.

Folk Implosion - Natural One
