“Prior to blowing minds in Dinosaur Jr, Mascis grew up in #Amherst, Massachusetts, as a ‘weird kid’.

A #music obsessive, he would build a wall of furniture around his bed to listen to records by the likes of the #BeachBoys, #DeepPurple and #NeilYoung.

When #Punk hit town, he formed a teenage #hardcore band called #DeepWound – his mum even knitted him a sweater with their name on it.

Obsessed with #NickCave’s the Birthday Party, Mascis would break eggs into his hair to try to emulate the singer’s wild crow’s nest haircut.”
