Lou Barlow is looking forward to his trip back to Japan. It's the cuisine, more than anything that has him anticipating his return to the country, but it's not what you might think.
"I look forward to the egg salad sandwiches at 7-11 or Lawson," Barlow admits. "They have these American convenience stores everywhere, but the prepared food is great! The egg salad sandwiches are so sinewy and delicious that I really look forward to them."
Barlow has been to Japan many times over the years with his many bands — Dinosaur Jr., Sebadoh, the Folk Implosion — and of all the experiences he anticipates upon returning it's pre-made sandwiches more than anything.
