malkmus solo pollo

i'm glad this is open for awhile as it's a good time for a revisit.

looking on discogs, he seems to have not released any b-sides since RET. not sure if this is because of changes in how labels work or if he just doesn't have extra tracks any more.

I hated the first solo album (except for Church on White) *so much* I have never listened to any of his subsequent solo albums. maybe this will be the poll that rectifies that idk

some say "gardenia" is 'about' james murphy, a rough passing of the baton (of sorts)

I kinda like the way you dot your "J"s
With giant circles of naïveté
The kind of circles include everything
Don't mean to damn you with the faintest phrase
It's just a symptom of the blithe age
Walter Lippmann
He would be amazed

So you've got some curb appeal
But can you cook a three course meal?
Or are you just a present waiting to be opened up and parceled out again? Hey!

You are a gardenia
Pressed in the campaign journal in the rucksack of an Afrikaaner candidate for mild reform

It's like we're at a Ponzi Scheme now
There's no escaping
Without a door prize
They're operating at significant loss
And now the way that you watch your weight
Richard Avedon, Richard Avedon would
Richard Avedon would surely approve

So much for your curb appeal
So much for your three course meals
Cause I am not a present waiting to be opened up and parceled out again. Hey!

I would require some evidence of Jamz Murphy dotting his J's with giant circles like a 12yo girl before giving any credence to that theory

the torture of the van wick expressway at 5pm on friday gives you some idea of how rejection makes me feel

A crap gin and tonic! It wounded me!.

"we lived on Tennyson and venison and the grate-ful-deh-head" so great

Pig Lib stands up, and would have benefited from the inclusion of Dynamic Calories and Fractions and Feelings, though I'm not sure where.

Wig Out At Jagbags is a great album title.

I wondered if that was a Dag Nasty reference given the era addressed in Lariat
