"Solid Silk" reminds me of a 90s Thurston song off of EJST&NS or Psychic Hearts.

"Middle America"'s line: "Men are scum I won't deny" also echoes back to Thurston's line on Dirty's "100%": "But I've been around the world a million times/And all you men are slime"...

I loved Jagbags but after listening to this one a few times I think I'm ready to declare it my least favorite SM album.

^It occurred to me that maybe he’s playing that song b/c of the (now-opportune) lyric, “I live to be grey, I live to be GREY!”

Does anyone get a STRONG Wilco vibe from a lot of this record?Kite sounds directly influenced. His singing is very Tweedy, the krautrocky momentum, even the guitar solo blasts off in a very Nels Cline way.Not the only song to give off a Wilco vibe.

they should've left the Kim Gordon / country song off of this

I like it, it's like an American Water outtake.

what's a jick?

Now it’s 2003, Stephen Malkmus is in a new band called the Jicks (the name derives from the intersection of “Jerk” and “Dick” or Mick Jagger in reverse, depending on who you ask, and when)

SM & Jicks have recently been added as an opening act for the Courtney Barnett show I’m seeing in October.

Don't ask me to find the source interview but I believe it's "a Jick is a girl jock," or something to that effect? But who knows?
