 The music video was directed by Spike Jonze. Dinosaur (album)
Dinosaur is the debut studio album by the alternative rock band Dinosaur Jr. It was released in 1985 on Homestead Records.

J and Friends Sing And Chant For Amma is an album-length compact disc by American guitarist/singer/songwriter and Dinosaur Jr bandleader J Mascis.
 The CD consists of several devotional songs composed and/or adapted by Mascis and dedicated to Hindu religious leader Mata Amritanandamayi, or Ammachi, of whom Mascis is a devoted follower.
 Recorded during a banner year for the alternative icon, "Sing and Chant For Amma" was self-released by Mascis on his own Baked Goods label during a break in the Dinosaur Jr reunion tour.
 Although there are no production or studio credits on the album, the CD is presumed to have been produced by Mascis and recorded at his own Bob's Place Studio in Amherst, Massachusetts. Hand It Over
Hand It Over is the seventh studio album by alternative rock band Dinosaur Jr., released on March 25, 1997 on Reprise Records.
 It peaked at #188 in the United States.
 According to a 2007 Magnet magazine interview with band leader J Mascis, "Hand It Over" is his favorite album from the group's major label period of the 1990s.
 The band enjoyed a somewhat renewed appreciation from critics on "Hand It Over."
 However, in the years following the band's hiatus, "Hand It Over" would become hard to find due to it not having the initial strong sales of "Where You Been" and "Without a Sound" which both sported moderate radio hits.
 Hand it over sold 34,000 units in US. Green Mind
Green Mind is the fourth studio album by alternative rock band Dinosaur Jr, released in 1991.
 It was the band's first release after bassist Lou Barlow's departure, as well as the first released by a major label.
