I’ll always love Sebadoh and adore Lou. Will never forget seeing them play one of the worst live shows I’ve ever seen at Tipitina’s in New Orleans around ‘93(?), Harry Pussy opened for them. Lou and Jason were tuning endlessly between each song, they were arguing with each other and with the sound guys constantly, and Lou finished the show yelling “There will be no encore!” Gloriously shitty and chaotic. P.S. - They played another show in New Orleans about 8 months later at the Howlin’ Wolf with Elliott Smith and were absolutely transcendent.
I always loved sebadoh and had a chance to see them in 2018 or so. Wish he would tour with them again. Been slamming out dino jr shows to get my lou fix. Got to see him and grey matter in a little coffee shop in north Hampton. Grey matter is Eric gaffney's band. Got to see 3 old school sebadoh songs they did together. Closest to a reunion i think I'll ever get.
Finally saw sebadoh about 8 years ago, they walked on stage and out of my mouth, I had no control over it, I had to shout "three dumpy guys, with no fashion sense!" the room was not happy! after the show I got to meet Lou, he wasn't happy about it, and me and Jason shared a beer. It, literally, made my life. Lou, Bob Mould, Evan Dando, the cornerstones of my life. Yes, I came of age in the early 90's, and I am staying there.
Good for you! If anyone didn't know the reference (including the guy who recorded the saying and released it multiple times on his aforementioned show tape) then that's their own whatever. I would've spied you out and gone and watched the show with you. I love stuff like that.
@@Mr_two 👍 Barlows discography is so excellent, The early Sebadoh/Sentridoh Folk Implosion and his own work...Holy frakking rad-ness! And if you feel like checking out a cool album/albums "The New Folk Implosion" (2003) "Emoh" (2005) and "Goodnight Unknown" (2009) I just don't have words to relay how excellent these are, in my opinion ✌️
@@pjsebadoh5412 right on thanks! Def will check it out. I'm a dino fan been to a few of there shows an really admire them as a band they sound so awesome to me! I'll check out those albums forsure! Thanks for the info!
I never heard bout Lou til I heard Superchunk's cover of Brand New Love. Then I was like hmm, this a good song, I gotta see what this Lou guy is all about. That was maybe in 2001 or so.
In the final analysis, Lou wins the battle of best hair against Malkmus, although Malkmus put up a valiant battle. He just didn't grow it out enough in the end.
Don't take it too hard Lou - everybody in the 90's was angsty, had irony, and called sh8t out. We were the first Generation to call out mass consumerism on the whole and in music, call out Bush and the Republicans who now gave us Tr*mp, etc. etc. The millennials fault is their music was barely a whisper, no edge or irony, about things 'white people like', in barely discernible reverb drenched sighs, (Beach House, Wild Nothings, Cloud Nothings, Chairlift, on and on). It even became way cool for artists to sit earnestly with interviewers and talk about liking music your Dad liked with a plant in the background. It was the beginning of the end of Music mattering and changing things through being transgressive and or unmarketable. It was complacent and WAY too earnest. Commodity for coffee shop playlists. And now Gen-Z is just making carbon copy 90's music (Soccer Mommy, Wednesday, Snail Mail, Wet Leg, etc.). I think the 90's was the last generation of individuality and imagination. Music hadn't sounded like that before.

What a legend! I find Lou to be one of the best songwriters of our generation.
Lou is a legend of my lifetime. Sebadoh and Dinosaur Jr forever!
Lou Legend. J Legend. Murph Legend. J's and Lou's Solo Albums also fantastic imo.

Never thought I’d see the voice actor of Greg Universe interviewing the bass player from one of my favorite bands! When worlds collide…
I like Sebadoh for the same reason I like the Descendents. Fully open and honest about the heart, but still totally rocks.
I got it... it took me till '93, but i got it. I'M telling ya, Barlow is one of the best.
It took me to 2023

Great work. What a guy. Thank you for providing.
Lou Barlow has no idea how talented he is. His ability to create such melody and combine them with deftly worded lyrics is a god given talent.
Sebadoh is amazing. Lou is a legend. I saw them in 1995 in Amsterdam with Fugazi. What a show!
Top one! Lou is legendary 👊🏼
what a great song writer even without feedbacks and smashed guitars...
You da man Lou
great interview, here to say that the Railroad Jerk album "One Track Mind " is actually great
Wow. I like skull acoustic. Heard too pure acoustic and liked that better than the album
Skull is my sebadoh song and one of my favourite songs period. So good.
Railroad Jerk! Oh man- no one ever talks about them. AND you love John Denver?! Love that, Lou- thanks!
I saw them back in the day on the bill with someone. I met the lead singer Marcellus in another stage of my life NYC - he is an illustrator as well.
In the final analysis, Lou wins the battle of best hair against Malkmus, although Malkmus put up a valiant battle. He just didn't grow it out enough in the end.
omgg that’s Greg!!! Steven universe’s dad lol that’s awesome

interview starts at 8:45
Lou is emo lemmy
None of a kind as a songwriter. It's so sad that no one sees him for what he is
lol, of course many do
I wish the other guy would speak less
I get why J doesn't like his personality.
