Whatever's Cool with Me is an EP by the American band Dinosaur Jr. It was released on Sire Records in 1991. It contains the "Whatever's Cool With Me" single and the European single of "The Wagon". The band supported the EP by touring with My Bloody Valentine. "Quicksand" is a cover of the David Bowie song.
A music video for the song "Whatever's Cool With Me" was shot at J Mascis's home in Amherst, Massachusetts, and was directed by Jim Spring and Jens Jurgensen. The EP sold more than 40,000 copies in its first six months of release.
Whatever's Cool with Me is the first Dinosaur Jr. recording to feature bassist Mike Johnson. The band's prior main release was the Green Mind album (their debut on a major label). Due to their increased exposure, a sticker was appended to various editions of Whatever's Cool with Me in order to clarify that it was not a proper album. The text stated "This is not an album. One new single and 7 b-sides. Never before released in the USA."
