 Heavy Blanket
BACKSTORY:
 This week, Dinosaur Jr’s J Mascis releases a six-track debut featuring “blistering psych-drenched instrumental blues jams.” If the bio of the band is to be believed, Heavy Blanket dates back to 1984 when Mascis was playing in Deep Wound and involves a couple of guys named Johnny Pancake and Pete Cougar.
