Interesting interview with J. Mascis by some dude named Zac.

Skateboarding and Dinosaur Jr always went hand in hand and still do in the naughties, why is that?
I dunno, I have no idea! We went to LA on the Bug tour and there were all these skaters everywhere. We met Neil Blender and some other guys and I always let them use the music and stuff.
So are you proud to be associated with skateboarding then?
Yeah I guess, sometimes I even get sent t-shirts and skateboards here!
Did you ever skate back in the day?
Yeah, mostly we would skate quarter pipes, 8 foot high ramps and stuff....
I mean this was long ago now.
Do you remember what your first board was?
My first skateboard was a Flight.they were like this company that ripped off Alva, I had Mid Tracks and red Kriptonics 65's..until my Dad gave it away.
Neil Blender did some art for you, do you remember which sleeves?
Yeah....he's done several record covers for me like Without a Sound, J.Mascis and The Fog, Leaving on a Jet Plane 7", and the back cover of another one.
Have you seen any recent skateboarding? What are your thoughts on it?
I see various stuff from Alien Workshop as Neil Blender sends me stuff. It's cool I guess.
