We love Dinosaur Jr. and it’s iconic frontman J. Mascis (feel free to go watch his performance at our house at SXSW 2011 when you are done here). We also love Portlandia. (Duh.) So we were thrilled to find out that Candace (aka Fred Armisen), of Portland’s fine feminist bookstore, Women & Women First, got a chance to interview the notoriously reticent singer about his band’s forthcoming album, “I Bet On Sky,” which comes out September 18th. As you can tell by their dynamic rapport in the rather illuminating and not at all awkward interview, these two are old friends. They met when J. Mascis showed up during Portlandia The Tour last year. That explains their chemistry. Now hopefully Toni (Carrie Brownstein) won’t get too jealous when she sees this.
