| - Peel was a fan of Dinosaur Jr, who used distorted guitar sounds and vocals that were reminiscent of Neil Young, which Peel admired. The band did three sessions for Peel's show and on 07 October 1990 mentioned that he would even be prepared to pay for bootleg copies of their session: "There's a piece in the current issue of Sounds about bootlegs, and very interesting it is too. Back in the 70s, when there were lots of Dylan bootlegs and Rolling Stones bootlegs, and I was into that sort of thing, I used to buy 'em, but I rather gave up after that because frankly it just became too expensive, and I couldn't play them on the radio, and I spend too much money on records as it is. I mention this because I saw sessions by the Pixies and Dinosaur Jr., both of them made available on 7 inch EPs which I would like to have been able to buy, but at £8.50 a time...I wasn't prepared to pay that much money, and it is annoying when you know that the money is going to some kind of unscrupulous entrepreneur and not even to the bands themselves, and yet the bands curiously enough, when you say, "Well, why don't we put the stuff out on Strange Fruit and legitimise it in some way?" say they don't want that to be done, so the money goes to bootleggers instead. I know at least one band actually, not one of the ones that I've mentioned, that actually bootlegged their own session, so I suppose in a sense that comes slightly closer to being right. But this isn't a bootleg, that's for sure."
- Before Dinosaur Jr existed, Murph and Barlow played together in a drum and bass combo called Sebadoh, who were very successful in their time. The duo met while Murph was managing a Dairy Queen that Barlow used to frequent during his high school years. Murph was beginning to play drums, inspired by his childhood televison hero, Animal. However, he had a very obvious lack of talent and realized that he would need another highly skilled musician to balance this out if he were to succeed in any shape or fashion. In late November 1978, on his way to Guitar Center, Lou crashed into Murph at a four-way intersection. This caused a 15-car pileup, but fortunately, the two of them emerged unscathed; the others were not so lucky. Rather than trade insurance cards, Murph noticed that Lou was wearing a Muppets T-Shirt, and they began to discuss Murph's musical aspirations. As it turned out, Lou was also looking for a band to start, as he was rapidly succeeding his idol, Flea, in technical ability as well as songwriting. They then decided to begin jamming, to see if there was any chemistry between them and if a band would arise. It was not long before they found their trademark sound and began playing shows. They named their band Sebadoh, after their combined love of Play-Doh and the Pixies' top 40 hit "Subbacultcha." In the spring of 1979, Sebadoh released their first album, Dinosaur, and landed a headlining spot in the hippie musical festival Lollapalooza. Dinosaur debuted at the top of the charts to incredible critical acclaim. Their performance at Lollapalooza was considered a landmark in the drum and bass movement of the late 1970s. Guitarist J Mascis was in the crowd at this event, and was so impressed by their musical ability that he snuck through the festival's security and bribed and/or beat several guards to meet the band members. He managed to catch up to them on their way back to their trailer, and professed his admiration at their showmanship and songwriting prowess. Murph and Barlow were taken aback at his unabashed gold-digging, and sensed an opportunity and asked if he would like to be their roadie. Mascis shyly mentioned that he "....played a little guitar,.......and wrote some...songs, if you would like to....listen sometime...?" At the time, they declined Mascis' request, but held on to his phone number in case they were to change their minds. Around 1982, the mainstream musical atmosphere was changing, and Sebadoh's record sales began to drastically decrease. Their second album Bug was selling extremely poorly and the band was subsequently dropped from their label. Still wanting to play music together, and with nothing left to lose, Murph and Barlow decided to give Mascis a call, and the foundations of Dinosaur Jr were set.
