When Stephen Malkmus made a Myspace page and had to put band influences he wrote "Stephen Malkmus." The guy invented indie rock. And you can quote me on that and use it in your MA dissertation.
So I checked out Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks last night at La Zona Rosa. This is probably the only show I've seen lately that I would have actually paid to go to. Unfortunately, none of my friends know of SM. The show would have been perfect if it weren't for whoever let out two nasty farts during the show and if he would have played at least one Pavement song. I heard he's been doing that, even though when they broke up he said he never would.
His latest album, "Real Emotional Trash" is a treat. I can hear hints of old songs,but I can't think of the names of them now. And Janet Weiss' voice on "We Can't Help You," makes that probably my favorite song on the album.
