Dinosaur Jr. @ First Avenue

The Amherst trio had towers of amps stacked up all over the stage, including one that was pointed directly towards front man J Mascis, in case his monitors weren’t providing him enough of his own guitar sound. And not having enough sound has never really been a problem for the group, and it certainly wasn’t on this evening as the band tore through a fiery 90 minute set that spanned the band’s entire career.

    Cupcakes are good, alcohol is better!

  • dave says:

    Coconut with Malibu icing.

  • Chris says:

    Sweet! Eels are awesome (as is this blog).

  • Nick Flanders says:

    I just have to say that the strawberry cupcakes pictured in the link look AMAZING.

  • Beverly says:

    My favorite cupcake is whatever they give out at the AA meetings I should be attending.

  • flood says:

    cupcake? moon pie! love the blog and the eels, of course!

  • Billy says:

    Eels should be something bitter, sweet but with a crunch. So an iced lemon cupcake sprinkled with hazelnuts for me.

  • Peter says:

    According to Penn & Teller, AA works about as well as quiting on your own, & they are experts on everything. I only attend AA for the free coffee, and it is court ordered. Sometimes they have chocolate cupcakes. Yum.

    sweet Jesus and/or E
    I want that…
    and/or one of those iced lemon cupcakes with hazelnuts that this billy person speaks of…

  • I personally preferred the cookies my Grandmother would bake me after we returned from attending her AA meetings. She always felt bad about me attending with her (as I was only 10 or so years old at the time), but she always loved the fact that I wanted to go.

  • Ramzi Abed says:

    My favorite cupcakes, as synthetic and dangerous as they may be, are Hostess chocolate cupcakes (yes, the ones with the toxic white cream filling). I haven’t had one in many moons, and in fact, normally try to eat primarily organic foods… but there’s a real soft spot in my stomach (and heart) for those Hostess cupcakes. Oh, and The Eels are the holy grail of emotional rock and roll music. Gotta love ‘em.

  • Chris DeLine says:

    I love those things…not much for frosting in general…at all actually, but I’m all about Hostess’ carcinogenic delights.

  • I like cupcakes, I love the eels, and my dad was an alcoholic. I think I got them all.
