Good interview but interjections like this remind me why I hate (music) journalism:
In the time of Ke$ha and Katy Perry, in the post-empire era of the music-industrial complex, when radio has become the horse-drawn carriage of the Information Age, songs no longer “mean a lot when songs are bought.”
What does this even mean?

Yeah, the new album sounds really good. I've got the NPR thing streaming the thing in full so I'm not sure of the exact track name I'm on right now, but the guitar workout a couple tracks after "Senator" is awesome.

i'm only half-listening to this but this is real clean sounding - the short track lengths and the lightness of his vocals give it this real airy feel. it's all very agreeable, this sounds like the style i want malk to be going for at this stage in his career. i think i'm going to like this

Yeah, that happened to me too. The ad's popped up several times a day for the past couple of days, not sure who's to blame for that one, but its annoying to keep getting promised something I can't listen to. Luckily we have the NPR stream for now.

I wouldn't complain, but since it's been six years now I'm primed for another full on Jicks record too.
― Maxmillion D. Boosted (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Monday, 26 February 2024 15:49 (two months ago) link
SM has not one but 2 albums recorded, it's just a matter of getting them released.
Jicks are probably done. Jake (the 7th and final Jick?) is the only one still actively performing music, albeit with Malkmus.

― a (waterface), Monday, 26 February 2024 17:05 (two months ago) link
is it correct to assume one is a traditional techniques follow-up and one is a more typical malkmus rock album (though i guess without the jicks)
― ufo, Monday, 26 February 2024 21:31 (two months ago) link
I had totally missed that about the Jicks being done, that's a bummer.

i vaguely remember something about him working on a follow-up with the band he'd put together to tour it since the tour was cancelled due to covid?
― ufo, Tuesday, 27 February 2024 06:15 (two months ago) link
My personal dream album would be SM applying his current songwriting approach backwards to the S&E-era sonic palette. Probably never gonna happen.
― feed me with your chips (zchyrs), Tuesday, 27 February 2024 15:37 (two months ago) link
Traditional Techniques suffered so much from the Covid lockdown, I think they cancelled that whole tour but the band was going to be great for that.

Traditional Techniques and the Dylan album were my soundtrack to the paranoid first months of Covid.
― il lavoro mi rovina la giornata (PBKR), Tuesday, 27 February 2024 17:04 (two months ago) link
Trad Tech should've been right up my alley but I just couldn't get into it beyond a couple of songs. I should revisit.
That electronic album was terrible.
Proggy rock SM is still my favorite SM. I'd take something like Sparkle Hard in a heartbeat.
― alpine static, Tuesday, 27 February 2024 17:09 (two months ago) link
^^ Yeah, I like Trad Tech a ton and even Groove Denied, to a lesser degree, but an album with some trademark SM prog swerves would be great.
― Maxmillion D. Boosted (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Tuesday, 27 February 2024 19:00 (two months ago) link
Sparkle Hard was such a relief (could they ever really play like that again?) and remains the best of his late records.
Traditional Techniques has been a slow grower for me, but I love it. And honestly, Groove Denied isn’t among his better records; it’s an interesting side path.
― Marten Broadcloak, mild-mannered GOP congressman (Raymond Cummings), Tuesday, 27 February 2024 19:30 (two months ago) link
I'm still bummed the Trad Tech tour dates never got rescheduled. A "normal" Malkmus album along the lines of Sparkle Hard is what I'd most like to hear now though.
― Vaguely Threatening CAPTCHAs, Tuesday, 27 February 2024 19:33 (two months ago) link

― a (waterface), Tuesday, 27 February 2024 21:12 (two months ago) link
Even the albums I don’t much like, when I go back they’re better than remembered - it was startling recently to pull out Real Emotional Trash and Wig Out and feel, finally, like I fully *got* those albums. Everything kinda clicked.
― Marten Broadcloak, mild-mannered GOP congressman (Raymond Cummings), Tuesday, 27 February 2024 21:18 (two months ago) link
real emotional trash is the best thing he ever did

I must try RET again, I thought it was a bit wanky at the time although I thought that about Pig Lib for years too
― Saxophone Of Futility (Michael B), Tuesday, 27 February 2024 21:49 (two months ago) link
I think that on some level, when they came out I thought both RET and Wag Out were a bit too silly or goofy, somehow.
I do like jammy Malkmus tho
― Marten Broadcloak, mild-mannered GOP congressman (Raymond Cummings), Tuesday, 27 February 2024 21:51 (two months ago) link

it was startling recently to pull out Real Emotional Trash and Wig Out and feel, finally, like I fully *got* those albums. Everything kinda clicked.
that happened to me with Wig Out recently too. I'd always thought of it as a lesser retread of Mirror Traffic, but for now I'd rather listen to that than MT. Sparkle Hard felt like a huge step up from both of them though. The S/T and Pig Lib are probably always going to be my favorites for sentimental reasons, but Sparkle Hard is my non-sentimental favorite.

I shrugged at RET back when it came out but I pulled it out last night and idk what kind of shit I had in my ears in 2008 because it really is incredible. Pig Lib has always been my favorite and it sounded like that but more
