Unsurprisingly, also IN

I would say that I'll send you my copy of the WZ book, but we know how that turned out with "Born to Run."

I think malk started to dig at scott a bit in his lyrics. "we are underused," specifically. WZ was the first real pavement band album. Malk played most of the parts other than drums before that, and i think he felt he didnt get enough credit for it?

After a quick revisit over the last few days:

Brighten the Corners
Mirror Traffic
Terror Twilight
Slanted & Enchanted
Wowee Zowee
Wig Out at Jagbags
Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain
Real Emotional Trash
Westing, by Musket and Sextant
Pig Lib
S/T
Face the Truth

Slanted & Enchanted
Wowee Zowee
Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain
Brighten the Corners
Westing, by Musket and Sextant











Terror Twilight

Pig Lib is my favorite SM solo album.

We're so different.

Pavement might actually be my favorite band. I've never really thought that hard about it, but after getting back on the wagon it just feels right.

Wait, what? New album??

Jagbags was good, if not a little too easy listenin’

My favorite will probably always be Mirror Traffic

Sparkle Hard out tomorrow, here's something

Holy shit. This might rock and roll hard.

Kim Gordon is in this thing too? My goodness.

Yeah, the song she features in, "Refute" is out already. It's good. I'm pretty unfamiliar with The Jicks and SM solo but I'll give this a listen.

Which Jicks-related music are you familiar with? Any?

I've only listened to some songs from that trag posted once because Janet Weiss was on drums. They probably were from "Real Emotional Trash". But yeah, virtually nothing

You should give Mirror Traffic a try. This one's great, and contains a few of my favorite Malkmus lyrical phrasing of the Jicks era:



And this one with some of my favorite guitar phrasing.

I came here to shit on SM & the Jicks, but then WM's passion for them changed my mind and I'll give them (yet another) chance.

In that same spirit, I had Brighten the Corners on while riding home last night. It was hot even though it was almost twilight. I was riding westward. Gorgeous day. The music made so much sense.
