The most delightful part of the cover, however, is the way Mascis lets the lyrics spill from his mouth, capturing the song\u2019s heartbreak and anguish without bothering to recreate Petty\u2019s peppy, pleading vocal performance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Mascis\u2019 cover of \u201cDon\u2019t Do Me Like That\u201d arrives as the musician prepares to embark on an international <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jmascis.com\/tour\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">tour<\/a> this Spring. He\u2019s got a pair of shows in Japan this month, then he\u2019ll kick off an extensive European run in May. Mascis released his most recent solo album, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-album-reviews\/review-j-mascis-is-his-usual-lovably-miserable-self-on-ecstatic-days-754759\/\"><em>Elastic Days<\/em><\/a>, in 2018.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">As for Dinosaur Jr., the group released their most recent record, <em>Give a Glimpse of What Yer Not<\/em>, in 2016. This summer, the band will gather to host a new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/dinosaur-jr-camp-fuzz-807099\/\">rock and roll camp<\/a>, which will feature a mix of performances, forums, panels, classes and jam sessions.
