It's been three years since Stephen Malkmus' last record and five since he did a full-length with The Jicks. That's because drummer John Moen basically left the group after the Pig Lib tour and joined The Decemberists. Now, Sleater-Kinney drummer Janet Weiss is in the fold and the former Pavement frontman seems to have crafted an album that...

Stephen Malkmus — Face The Truth

in
By Noah Love (CHARTattack) May 24, 2005 3:29 pm
With Face The Truth, we finally know what a Malkmus-minus-Jicks record sounds like — it's a lot like a Malkmus record with the Jicks. The lyrics still make sense and he's still dangling his foot on either side of the crispy folk weird indie pop line. That's not to say it isn't good, it's just a continuation into the solo world Malkmus has already...

Stephen Malkmus — Stephen Malkmus

Much has been made of Malkmus' return to a poppier form that reflected Pavement's earlier form. I think he just got out from under major label morons telling him how to walk, talk and write songs like he was some sort of boy band member. His self-titled solo debut is the best work he's done since '94s Crooked Rain Crooked Rain. Throughout the...

WATCH: Jack Black stars in Stephen Malkmus And The Jicks – “Senator” music video

If I had a list of things I found amusing, watching Jack Black play a rancher-turned-senator with a coke addiction would rank pretty high. Black stars in this music video for "Senator", the not-safe-for-your-mother single from Stephen Malkmus and The Jicks' 2011 release Mirror Traffic. You'll also spot Gary Cole (Office Space, Pineapple Express)...

Trent Reznor would like you to know that the reissue of Nine Inch Nails' Pretty Hate Machine is a "bullshit" record label move. So he doesn't want you buying it. OK? Stephen Malkmus would like you to come up with another word for "blowjob" here, and the winner will get their lyric recorded by him and a seven-inch single.Swans are working on...

Last week I started this new daily blog by featuring a fantastic live version of "Light My Fire" by The Doors which was recorded during their 1968 European tour. With my second instalment I examine — in a roundabout way — the most important artist in my musical life. That would be Bob Dylan who, from 1964-66, changed...
