3 unusual facts about Weed Forestin'


Weed Forestin'

Weed Forestin was recorded in 1986 and 1987, when Barlow was the bassist of the American indie rock band, Dinosaur Jr. Sebadoh, which Barlow co-founded with Eric Gaffney, started as a songwriting outlet for Barlow outside of Dinosaur Jr, whose lead singer and guitarist, J. Mascis, Barlow would later publicly clash with.

The release had a run of 1,300 units, including 1,000 vinyl records (of which 150 were special editions that came with a USB drive including bonus music and a hand-drawn short film by artist Daryl Waller), 150 double CD packages, and 150 cassette tapes.

The album was named after a lyric in the Barlow song "Lose," which was not included in Weed Forestin but reworked into a Dinosaur Jr. song on their 1987 album, You're Living All Over Me.
