In 1989 [[Kurt Cobain]] suggested that Mascis join [[Nirvana (band)|Nirvana]] as a guitarist.<ref>{{Cite web|title = How J Mascis Almost Joined Nirvana (Twice!) and Built to Spill|url = https://www.spin.com/2012/10/j-mascis-nirvana-twice-built-to-spill-dinosaur-jr/|access-date = July 8, 2015|date = October 4, 2012|last = Bevan|website = spin.com|publisher = Spin Media|first = David}}</ref>
The manager for Deep Wound was [[Gerard Cosloy]], who then went on to found [[Homestead Records]]. Homestead released Dinosaur Jr.'s first record. Mascis says that the reason why Dinosaur Jr.'s sound is not fully formed on that record is that they were more or less automatically signed to Homestead.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rSafFmGTMg Interview with J Mascis], Underyourskin.net, accessed September 27, 2010.</ref> Megan Jasper, vice president at Sub Pop Records, characterises this period as "J had some anger, like any punk rock kid. Usually, though, when a young person is angry, they tend to be really loud. And J wasn't. He was only loud when he played music".<ref name=:2 />
As a side project, he was the drummer in [[Boston]] [[doom metal]] group Upsidedown Cross, who released a self-titled album on Taang! Records in 1991.<ref name="Strong">{{cite book |last=Strong |first=Martin C. |title=The Great Alternative & Indie Discography |url=https://archive.org/details/greatalternative0000stro |url-access=registration |year= 1999 |publisher=Canongate |isbn=0-86241-913-1 }}</ref><ref name="Selzer">Selzer, Jonathan (1991) "Signs of Life", ''Lime Lizard'', October 1991, p. 48-9</ref> He wrote songs for the film ''[[Gas Food Lodging]]'', in which he made a cameo appearance.<ref name="Strong" /><ref name="Selzer" /> In 1996, he had a small part in the movie ''[[Grace of My Heart]]'' and provided a ballad and a [[Beach Boys]]-like song for the soundtrack. In 1998, he retired the Dinosaur Jr. name.<ref name=":2" />
In April 2005 Mascis, Barlow, and Murph reformed the band for a tour celebrating the re-release of the group's first three albums. The reunited line-up has since released five new albums: ''[[Beyond (Dinosaur Jr. album)|Beyond]]'' in 2007, ''[[Farm (album)|Farm]]'' in 2009, ''[[I Bet on Sky]]'' in 2012,<ref name=":2" /> ''[[Give a Glimpse of What Yer Not]]'' in 2016, and ''[[Sweep It Into Space]]'' in 2021.
=== Solo material ===
[[File:J Mascis 2.jpg|thumb|Mascis performing in 2013]]
In 2000 he began producing albums with his new band, [[J Mascis + The Fog]]. In 2003, the house and studio he owned burned down.<ref name=":2" />
In August 2005 Mascis released ''[[J and Friends Sing and Chant for Amma]]'', a solo album under the [[J Mascis and Friends]] banner. The album consists of devotional songs dedicated to [[Hindu]] religious leader [[Mata Amritanandamayi]], or Ammachi, about whom he had written "Ammaring" on the first J Mascis + The Fog album ''More Light''. The proceeds from the album are being donated to tsunami relief efforts Ammachi's organization is spearheading. In 2008 the six-track album was made available digitally on his own Baked Goods label.<ref>{{Cite web|url = http://exclaim.ca/Music/article/j_mascis_issues_digital_solo_album_for|title = J Mascis Issues Digital Solo Album For Charity|date = November 21, 2008|website = exclaim.ca|publisher = The Exclaim!|last = Hughes|first = Josiah}}</ref>

Also that year, he collaborated with [[Evan Dando]] on a new Lemonheads album. ''[[The Lemonheads (album)|The Lemonheads]]'' was released that September, featuring Mascis playing lead guitar.
In 2010 Mascis joined with John Petkovic and Tim Parnin of [[Cobra Verde (band)|Cobra Verde]] and Dave Sweetapple of [[Witch (American band)|Witch]] to form Sweet Apple.
