Play Here! We'll Steal Your Gear!
After finishing a show in Brooklyn on Tuesday night (Aug. 29), Dinosaur Jr. went and got their gear stolen.
Naturally, any band would be devastated, but reading the laundry list this morning, however, made us feel particularly queasy:
1959 Fender Jazzmaster SN# 38927 - decal coming off. cracked headstock at top near low E peg. color black with purple/bluish sparkle coming through. adonized pick guard gold metal. tuneomatic bridge gold, tuning pegs gold.
1961-3 Fender Jazzmaster SN# 62012 - purple sparkle, black pickup covers. headstock repaired, a whole new piece of wood was glued on for the top part of the headstock under the tuners and up a 1/2" , along the whole top of the headstock. gold tuneomatic bridge, gold tuners
1964-5 Fender Jazzmaster SN# L21581 - orange, white pearl pickguard, stickers all over it, original tuners.
We'd be tempted to sell our mothers for guitars like these. Which reminds us, we need to call our mom.
Dino Jr. may (but likely will not) take comfort in the fact that the Raveonettes, Black Mountain, the Decemberists, Brian Jonestown Massacre, Matt Pond PA, Cibo Matto plus scores of other indie bands can sympathize: each has had their gear lifted whilst in New York within the last few years.

While the 4% of workers in this country that work for the government might get paid less, 96% of Joe Average in this country will have more to spend. The middle class can’t afford these contracts.
