Born Joseph Mascis on 10th December 1965 in Amherst, Massachusetts, United States, in the early 1980s he founded the short-lived hardcore group Deep Wound with his high school friends Lou Barlow and Scott Helland. He started out on drums, but moved to guitar when he went on to found Dinosaur Jr. (with bassist Barlow and drummer Patrick "Murph" Murphy in 1984), which achieved national and international success. After Mascis dismissed Barlow from Dinosaur Jr. in 1989, he recorded several more Dinosaur Jr. albums until 1997, including the 1996 acoustic solo album Martin & Me. He then went on to produce albums with his new band, J Mascis and the Fog, starting in 2000.
In April 2005, Mascis joined up again with Barlow and Murph, as the original trio of Dinosaur Jr., to begin a tour celebrating the re-release of the group's first three albums.
In August 2005, Mascis released a new solo album as J Mascis and Friends, J and Friends Sing and Chant for Amma, an album of devotional songs dedicated to Hindu religious leader Mata Amritanandamayi, or Ammachi, about whom he had previously written "Ammaring" on the first J Mascis and the Fog album More Light. The proceeds from the album are being donated to Tsunami relief efforts by Ammachi's organisation.
In late summer 2005, Mascis helped Danish band Mew by adding vocals to the song "Why Are You Looking Grave?" and backing vocals on "An Envoy to the Open Fields". Both songs can be found on Mew's newest album And the Glass Handed Kites.
In 2006, Mascis released an album with his newly-formed heavy metal band Witch, returning to drumming for their debut album, Witch.
In 2010, J Mascis teamed up with two members of Cobra Verde and one of his Witch bandmates for a new project: Sweet Apple. Like Mascis’ Witch side project, Sweet Apple finds J behind the drum kit, although he does plays guitar and sings this time around.

Lyrics:
training of the lawn
what was ging on?
it all seem so strange
elements unwind
thought of you as kind
but so out of range
drifted to your head
thought of you instead
it all made some sense
peeled another layer
keeping you aware
in a web so dense
won't you come
and see me
I'll be fine
tell yerself it's still
and I'm not trying
seemingly afraid
we can't get it straight
but it seemed the same
waiting for success
I been offered less
does the trying pay
won't you come
and see me
I'll be fine
running after everything
in time
it's the long way
to get to you
it's the wrong way
to see the truth
it's a deep place
I thought I knew
it's the long way to get to you
won't you come and see me
I'll be fine
sealing us together
one more time

I honestly love how J Mascis songs are all basically an excuse to play new guitar solos

Been a Dinosaur fan since the early 90s but hadn't paid much attention to the newer songs. Wish I'd heard these sooner because this song is gorgeous. Probably J's most beautiful work.
