J Mascis stopped by NPR for a Tiny Desk Concert today, if you need a little Saturday treat. He played a few songs from his new album Tied To A Star as well as classic "Little Fury Things." It's nice!

"I think you're a guitar god, would you agree?" Um, no. "Well, I think you are." All right.

Dinosaur Jr.'s J. Mascis recorded a cover of John Denver's "Prisoners" with Sharon Van Etten for a tribute album. This is the video, featuring Superchunk's Jon Wurster as Denver (or his reincarnation) and Aimee Mann as his love interest. It is very, very good.
