Dinosaur Jr. have finally hashed out the details of their long-awaited full-band DVD, Dinosaur Jr.: Live from the Middle East. The 18-track film features the band performing at Boston's Middle East, as well as New York's Irving Plaza and a host of other gigs from the band's 2005 winter tour.

Bonus features include interviews with Kevin Shields, Kim Gordon, Thurston Moore, Mike Watt, Matt Dillon, Steve Albini, Sonic Boom, and Dinosaur Jr. themselves.

The DVD, due May 8 via Image Entertainment, was directed by Gold in Berlin, a company run by Mascis' brother-in-law Philip Virus.

As previously reported, Dinosaur Jr. plan to release a currently untitled album in Spring 2007. The trio has spent the last month recording at Bisquiteen, J Mascis' Amherst, MA home studio. Mascis will produce the album, and John Agnello will mix and engineer it (not produce, as incorrectly previously reported). Justin Pizzoferrato will help out with the engineering.

Also on the agenda for early next year is a tour from the reunited Sebadoh. The three-piece will make the rounds from February to April, but specific dates have not yet been confirmed.

Finally, keep in mind that Dinosaur Jr. are currently on the road in the U.S. with Thalia Zedek. On Tuesday (December 5), they'll make their way to the UK for a handful of performances, some alongside Sonic Youth (like their stop at Thurston Moore's ATP Nightmare Before Christmas event) and a solo Lou Barlow. Come mid-December, the boys will break for the holidays.
