haw, nice sun city girls reference. i like it! actually has a crooked rain vibe, which is a little bit surprising.

tylerw, Tuesday, 12 November 2013 15:38 (twelve years ago)

P. good. Also I'm in love with that girl

j smoov better be about detroit pistons' josh smith

illegalblues, Tuesday, 12 November 2013 19:08 (twelve years ago)

The cover sucks so hard

Beatrix Kiddo (Raymond Cummings), Tuesday, 12 November 2013 21:03 (twelve years ago)

but the title owns

adam, Tuesday, 12 November 2013 21:06 (twelve years ago)

xpost Malkmus is a basketball fan, so it probably is.

intheblanks, Tuesday, 12 November 2013 21:08 (twelve years ago)

Well, he probably got the name directly from josh smith, in any case. I don't imagine Malkmus actually wrote a ballad about him.

intheblanks, Tuesday, 12 November 2013 21:09 (twelve years ago)

j smoove bricks have inspired a lot of depressing feelings the hearts of many men. it's an underrated subject

illegalblues, Tuesday, 12 November 2013 22:10 (twelve years ago)

has SM made any statements about Lou Reed's passing?

Beatrix Kiddo (Raymond Cummings), Tuesday, 12 November 2013 22:46 (twelve years ago)

nah, he did this though

Inexplicable decision to leave that off Brighten The Corners.

kornrulez6969, Wednesday, 13 November 2013 01:15 (twelve years ago)

Nah, that is one of my favorite Pavement tracks all time, but it's the epitome of a fucking awesome b-side

intheblanks, Wednesday, 13 November 2013 02:22 (twelve years ago)

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!

JACK SQUAT about these Charlie Nobodies (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Wednesday, 13 November 2013 05:00 (twelve years ago)

This song is completely awful.

Badmotorfinger Debate Club (MFB), Wednesday, 13 November 2013 05:35 (twelve years ago)

Scattegories

it's spelled Scattergories though?

Wig Out At Jagbags is inspired by Cologne, Germany, Mark Von Schlegell, Rosemarie Trockel, Von Spar and Jan Lankisch, Can and Gas; Stephen-Malkmus-imagined Weezer/Chili Peppers, Sic Alps, UVA in the late 80′s, NYRB, Aroma Charlottenburg, inactivity, Jamming, Indie guys trying to sound Memphis, Flipper, Pete Townshend, Pavement, The Joggers, The NBA and home life in the 2010′s...

mizzell, Wednesday, 13 November 2013 15:27 (twelve years ago)

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.

Beatrix Kiddo (Raymond Cummings), Wednesday, 13 November 2013 17:00 (twelve years ago)

it's an album cover, man

twist boat veterans for stability (k3vin k.), Wednesday, 13 November 2013 17:01 (twelve years ago)

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.

JACK SQUAT about these Charlie Nobodies (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Wednesday, 13 November 2013 17:04 (twelve years ago)

i'm not sure why people hate the cover...seems fine to me.

tylerw, Wednesday, 13 November 2013 17:05 (twelve years ago)

everyone knows parquet courts have taken over the pavementy album cover gambit

the haxan 5 (get bent), Thursday, 14 November 2013 04:06 (twelve years ago)

hate the title but love the cover. song sounds good but i've thought that the past few albums and then never had any urge to revisit them after a month or so.

balls, Thursday, 14 November 2013 04:25 (twelve years ago)

needs it's own thread

Bee OK, Thursday, 14 November 2013 04:29 (twelve years ago)

or deserves one, a new album is good news and one in 2013 works.

Bee OK, Thursday, 14 November 2013 04:39 (twelve years ago)

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.

alpine static, Thursday, 14 November 2013 05:46 (twelve years ago)

one month passes...

new album, full stream:

alpine static, Tuesday, 31 December 2013 16:46 (twelve years ago)

tylerw, Tuesday, 31 December 2013 17:00 (twelve years ago)

really like this; it might be second to pig lib for me.

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

Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Sunday, 23 February 2014 04:25 (twelve years ago)

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...

One of which is an ILX thread, this message in particular:
Kites

If anyone cares, Malkmus is on WTF today: http://wtfpod.libsyn.com/episode-493-stephen-malkmus

Johnny Fever, Thursday, 1 May 2014 16:58 (twelve years ago)

any good?

Iago Galdston, Thursday, 1 May 2014 16:59 (twelve years ago)

Just about to start listening.

Johnny Fever, Thursday, 1 May 2014 17:00 (twelve years ago)

it's not bad. not great but not his worst

I dunno those MBV songs but "Stick Figures in Love" rules.

two years pass...

Happy bday Malkmus, still nifty at 50.

Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Monday, 30 May 2016 04:32 (ten years ago)

Does Maron talk vaguely about the two Pavement albums he had in college for the duration, lacking a grasp of song titles etc. as usual

PaulTMA, Monday, 30 May 2016 12:08 (ten years ago)

Dunno why ppl like that guy (Maron), he's so annoying and not an especially great interviewer

Wimmels, Monday, 30 May 2016 12:29 (ten years ago)

does anyone like him?
