Sub Pop labelmate Chad VanGaalen created this playful, psychedelic video for “Not Enough,” the ambling, sing-along lead single from J Mascis’ great (mostly) acoustic album Several Shades of Why. It features lots of eyeballs, a couple cracked skulls, and several shades of J.
Thurston Moore’s newest solo album, the Beck Hansen-produced Demolished Thoughts, is out in May via Matador. It was recorded in Los Angeles and Northampton, MA.
