Dinosaur Jr., "Watch The Corners,"

At the beginning of the new Dinosaur Jr. video, you think it’s set it contemporary America, because of the clothes the teenagers wear and the fact that the protagonist’s boyfriend’s face seems to be cloaked in plasmonic meta-materials. But then the girl pulls out her cellphone, and it’s a Motorola Razr, so we know that the events we’re watching took place a long, long time ago. Dinosaur Jr.’s next album, I Bet On Sky, comes out next month, and I can’t believe how great the old whine-and-squall continues to sound.
