Right when they go into the "Marquee Moon" segue, it can get really nice. (Not sure if every show has been like that though.)

listening to malkmus's demos from the deluxe reissue and i'm really surprised how synth-heavy they are. makes me wish the final album had malkmus's synth noodling all over it too, some of these are really great

i have to say i'm devastated to learn that it's "lip balm on watery clay" and not "ripple on watery clay" which i really loved as a predecessor to "relationships hey hey hey".

I think I thought it was “pitcher of watery clay”

I’ve come to realize that I didn’t correctly parse many of the lyrics on that album.

i can hear both, but have always heard lip balm but i get it i get it
it's like malkmus anticipated those tiktok videos wherein you "hear" the person saying whatever words you're looking at

it was seriously a couplet i found solace in when going through issues with my partner. it would repeat in my head
Ripple on watery clayrelationships hey hey hey
there's something so comforting in that
and yeah, "you kiss like a rock but you know i need it anyway" is a beaut
