Introducing NPR Music&#8217;s Tiny Desk (home) concerts, bringing you performances from across the country and the world. It&#8217;s the same spirit \u2014 stripped-down sets, an intimate setting \u2014 just a different space.<\/p>\n<p>Stephen Thompson | Aug. 3, 2021<br \/>\nIn the year-plus that we\u2019ve been recording Tiny Desk (home) concerts, artists have worked hard to reproduce the Tiny Desk vibe through special effects ranging from Phoebe Bridgers\u2019 Oval Office backdrop to clipping.\u2019s tininess-enhancing miniature set. For Dinosaur Jr., the spirit of the Tiny Desk can be found in an under-appreciated facet of the series: the ever-evolving array of tchotchkes, promo pieces and other bits of pop-cultural detritus that line the shelves behind Bob Boilen\u2019s desk.<\/p>\n<p>Dinosaur Jr.\u2019s own home concert \u2014 \u201chome\u201d in this case being the stage of an empty Shea Theater in Turners Falls, Mass. \u2014 is set amid its own enviable assortment of oddities, from stuffed animals to a Mork action figure to a copy of the album A Christmas Together by John Denver &amp; The Muppets. And you don\u2019t stick around as a band for all or part of five decades without knowing a little something about product placement: Dinosaur Jr.\u2019s terrific new album, Sweep It Into Space, is prominently located near the wee plastic desk that sits front and center onstage.<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, that album dominates this five-song set, which finds the trio of singer-guitarist J Mascis, singer-bassist Lou Barlow and drummer Murph sounding as fluid and forceful and gnarly as ever. Mascis gets to unleash a few shredding solos, Barlow gets to take the lead in \u201cGarden\u201d and Murph gets to do his thing in close proximity to a pair of large dinosaur-shaped balloons. Plus, longtime fans get treated to two towering classics from earlier in Dinosaur Jr.\u2019s excellent career: \u201cFeel the Pain,\u201d from 1994\u2019s Without a Sound, and \u201cFreak Scene,\u201d which opens 1988\u2019s Bug.<\/p>\n<p>SET LIST<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Tiny Desk is working from home for the foreseeable future.
