It’s gotta be better than his “rock” musik at this point...
― i stan corrected (morrisp), Friday, 18 January 2019 18:43 (five years ago) link
i dunno, i like his rock stuff still — last one was very strong. I think he's just made good solo albums as opposed to great ones.

As the world's biggest Modulate fan I'm pretty excited.

Album is sounding a lot less "techno" than those interviews last year (about it being bumped/rejected by Matador) led me to believe... I thought there would be, like, no vocals at all.
― yuh yuh (morrisp), Wednesday, 6 March 2019 18:47 (five years ago) link
Seeing Malkmus, Meat Puppets, Joy Division and Bowie on the cover of The Wire really makes me long for the techno baldies and free jazz upstarts of the past

^^^The song would fit really well on Eventually.
― Yerac, Wednesday, 6 March 2019 22:13 (five years ago) link
This album gets off to a rough start but there are some great songs in here. The more electronic songs aren’t bad but I can also feel my standards lowering when I say that - knowing it’s not his wheelhouse and cutting him a break as he tries something new.

I'm actually pretty surprised that Matador rejected this and demanded he release a Jicks album first

Rather liking this but didn't realise there was going to be an abundance of 'normal' SM tracks to be on there. Was hoping it'd be 'groove' throughout
― PaulTMA, Friday, 22 March 2019 15:46 (five years ago) link
some nuggets in here that are already making the rounds on twitter, but my question is this:
i don't listen to podcasts, really. are they all as aggressively / poorly edited as this one?

It gets worse (after where you are) but then seems to get better after maybe 5 or 8 mins.

also
is this the best guy RS has to conduct this interview or is he hamstrung by the publication to talk to SM about Beck, Radiohead and Weezer
― alpine static, Thursday, 23 May 2019 22:11 (five years ago) link
Interesting that he’s open to another Pavement reunion.
― get your hand outta my pocket universe (morrisp), Friday, 24 May 2019 02:14 (five years ago) link
is it, though? his answer has pretty much been the same since about 5 years after they first split.
― alpine static, Friday, 24 May 2019 03:34 (five years ago) link
Really? I remember him saying “no way” for years, until the reunion actually happened... and I haven’t seen him suggest he was open to another one (let alone “psyched”) until now. I thought the deal has always been that the other guys would do it an second, but Malk hasn’t been interested.
― get your hand outta my pocket universe (morrisp), Friday, 24 May 2019 03:40 (five years ago) link
I mean, he might've said "no way" for a while, but I feel like he softened his stance - "never say never, it could happen" etc. - a couple years before the reunion, which happened at 10 years.
But I don't know, maybe I'm remembering wrong. I'm an old man.
I do think you're right that "psyched" is a stronger word than he's ever used before, and I think your second sentence is pretty much always true. So maybe I'm just splitting hairs, too.
― alpine static, Friday, 24 May 2019 04:09 (five years ago) link
I thought that one reunion was mostly because someone in the band needed money?
― Yerac, Friday, 24 May 2019 04:15 (five years ago) link
That was rumored at the time (re: Bob). Maybe the financial/career upside has become more appealing to Malkmus lately... In his round of interviews for the last Jicks album, it sounded like he wanted to break out of the usual routine (small album followed by tour of the same old venues, etc.)
― get your hand outta my pocket universe (morrisp), Friday, 24 May 2019 05:15 (five years ago) link
Those reunion rumors re:Bob always sounded silly to me. I'm sure all the members were happy to earn the money that tour generated.
Re:future reunions, it could just be that after doing it once malkmus realized that the sky didnt fall, his standing as a solo artist (such as it is) didnt evaporate, or whatever else he was worried about didnt happen.
― One Eye Open, Friday, 24 May 2019 16:15 (five years ago) link
Saw one of the reunion shows and it was great, and the band uniformly seemed sincerely happy to be doing it
