xpost Malkmus is a basketball fan, so it probably is.
― intheblanks, Tuesday, 12 November 2013 21:08 (ten years ago) link
Well, he probably got the name directly from josh smith, in any case. I don't imagine Malkmus actually wrote a ballad about him.

ok love this song and 100% surprised he hadn't already gotten to the "we lived on Tennyson and Venison and the Grateful Dead" lyric before now, such an all-time Malkmus line!

song is good. lyrics are kinda dumb. haven't really been feeling him on the lyric front post-Pig Lib - but i haven't actually purchased or spent any significant amount of time with any of those records, either.

man grumpy people are really getting desperate in creating covers (see what i did there?) for their real agenda of thinkpieces bemoaning how times are changing and how people don't experience albums like they SHOULD.

on board with that new song. his best since the solo debut? i shouldn't say that ... I haven't given anything since a ton of spins.
that tune has a nice fuzzy laid-back vibe a la CRCR, tho.
no idea what that videos all about. another bizarre clip from SM.

Heard "Stick Figures In Love" today and to these ears it sounded like something off an early MBV EP (Ecstasy or Strawberry Wine?)

Okay, so they closed the encore last night at the Bowery with a great new song apparently called "Kite In A Closet".
Now here's the thing (cue Boards of Canada marketing campaign anthem):
As of right this moment (2/27/2014, 3:35pm EST) if you google "kite in a closet" (with quotes), you get only about 10 results...
