when do they go onsale?
-
I also would like to know this.
I don't think the show's been confirmed yet, though. Matador jumped the gun.
-
What is the rumor? I'm assuming a SM & TJ show at the 9:30? When is the rumored date?
-
Do you guys really think this will sell out? Malkmus is sorta a hack now..
-
Have you heard the new album? It's pretty killer.

at Pitchfork this past summer he was mostly solo and quite engaging.
He did bring out bob s. to drum for a little bit and the crowd went nutty thinking there might be some pavementy stuff, but no.
i think that was one of the highlights of pitchfork for me.
-
While we're all gathered here, I'd figure I'd ask this: Is his first name pronounced like "Steven" or is it "SteFFen?" I've heard both used.

Wilco sold out 2 nights, and Tweedy's a total hack these days. ;)

I've only heard that live show from last year (1/20/07), but yeah, the new songs kick butt.

I think "Steven," because I've heard him go by the nick "Steve." (on bootlegs and such...I don't know the man, or his moustache, personally...)

There's a link to the new album on this board somewhere.

That's where I got it. Thanks again!

Malkmus/Matador Add Extras to Trash Pre-Order
Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks' forthcoming Real Emotional Trash will mark their very own entry in Matador's "Buy Early Get Now" pre-order program, which has previously deluxe-ified albums by the New Pornographers, Yo La Tengo, the Ponys, and some band called Pavement.
The Real Emotional Trash Buy Early Get Now will feature the following extras:
1) A stream of the album in its entirety, available immediately.
2) Two One exclusive Trash B-sides, "Walk Into the Mirror" and "Pennywhistle Thunder", available immediately. UPDATE: Only "Walk Into the Mirror" is available now.
3) A recording of the band's full set at Portland's Doug Fir Lounge on December 21, 2007.
4) Every other Trash B-side and exclusive track, available from the BEGN site 90 days after physical release.
5) A Trash poster and the album, picked up from your local store or shipped together on the album's release date, March 4.
Of course, to take advantage of the offer, you have to purchase the album before March 4 by visiting buyearlygetnow.com and following the site's instructions.
Malkmus and his Jicks aren't all about the instant gratification though. The band's U.S. tour with John Vanderslice is still two months away.

03-19 Minneapolis, MN - First Avenue
03-20 Milwaukee, WI - Pabst Theater

when do tickets go on sale?
and malkmus is hardly a hack to whoever said that.

That would be cool - but where did you see that? There seems to be a lot of confusion about this show happening or not. . .
-
Malkmus hasn't put out a good record since Wowee Zowee

I'd like a citation on that "fact."
If you can't provide any evidence it just sounds like you're talking out your bunghole, man.

Yeah. Pig Lib is terrible.
*shakes head in aloofness*
-
Vanderslice is playing with them to? Dammit, why do I have to be in Spain when that's happening
-
i'll go to spain for you! i want to see all that gaudi architecture.
-
I just listened to 'Pig Lib' - it's a bore. ZZZzzzzz...*
-
That's just, like, your opinion man.
-
still no confirmation that this show is happening? unless i have missed it somewhere. . . .i hope it happens . . .RET is growing on me in a big way

i don't think it'll sell out like wilco. remember when he played at the black cat a few years ago? it was on sale for a while and though it sold out eventually, it was only after some other show that was happening that night sold out. m.i.a. or something... no! the futureheads.
-
Finally, I get to see Vanderslice. Love his last three records.
-
I remember him a couple of years ago opening for Radiohead at Merriweather. A lot of people here had to have seen that show. He was very... jammy.
Brian
-
any update on tickets on sale for this, or if it is even happening? I hope it is . . . I like the jammy shit
-
Pitchfork posted it again today and the date is up on Malkmus' site, so I assume it is actually happening. I assume tickets will go on sale this week or next at the latest...
-
Heh. You beat me to it, Myra.
Bring on them tix, hey.
-
the new album is great especially "cold son" and "out of reaches". i think it's a better, more consistent and fluid album than 'face the truth' and i LOVED that album. can't wait to see him!
-
This maybe should be another topic but I'm a firm believer in Malkmus's theory of "better drummers."
Basically, that four-on-the-floor, technically precise, "in the pocket" drummers are bullshit and a lot of bands got worse the better the drummer learned how to play (R.E.M., Husker Du, etc.)
Then I read something in Rolling Stone or something about how now that Janet Weiss is in the band they're going to be great and how Malkmus has never played with a great drummer before and Janet Weiss is the "Keith Moon" of drummers right now. I guess they didn't see the irony.
Do the writers at Rolling Stone have sex with members of the opposite sex? Are they allowed?
Brian
P.S. Did the members of Sleater Kinney have sex with members of the opposite sex? Were they allowed?
-
Wilco changed to a more technically proficient drummer...

I'm not sure I see the irony, but I think saying you read something "in Rolling Stone or something" is bullshit. You know where you read it, so why be cagey about it?

Yes. And don't you enjoy "A.M." and "Being There" more than "A Ghost is Born" and "Sky Blue Sky?"
Brian
-
Well I'd rate those four:
1. SBS
2. BT
3. AM
4. AGIB
Certainly though there are a gaggle of people who prefer latter day Wilco to the first two albums.

sky blue sky over being there? interesting
-
Wilco are like Woody Allen. Tedious now, but I like the earlier, funnier ones.
Brian
-
If I were grading them, I'd give them an A+ and A, respectively. So pretty even, in reality.

janet from sleater kinney was married to sam of the go-betweens

She was married to Sam from Quasi/Heatmiser, but I don't think he was in the Go Betweens. Unless she's got her own Sam's Club going, and it's another Sam.

I turn the big 30 the next day, so anyone that wants to show up and feed me drinks is more than welcome :)

Do you really want to be hungover on your 30th birthday? You have to be prepared to fully enjoy the 30th birthday BJ.

bobby n and mark ibold were at the last malkmus show at the black cat, whenever that was.
and i posted the below in just announced a while ago, but figured it might be seen by more appropriate eyes in this thread:
An Evening with David Berman (@ the corcoran)
Thursday, February 28, 2008 7:00 PM
David Berman is the subject of Sodium Fox, one of the two complete portraits featured in the Corcoran�s exhibition Wild Choir: Cinematic Portraits by Jeremy Blake. An American songwriter, and the man behind the beloved rock band, Silver Jews, David Berman has until recently avoided the spotlight (waiting 15 years and five albums before taking the Silver Jews on tour in 2006), and yet his tragicomic bearing and influential works continue to capture critical acclaim and attention all around the world. The Corcoran is honored to have Mr. Berman on our stage for a rare and intimate evening as he honors the memory of Jeremy Blake.

You know, everyone treats him like "the closest I'll ever get to see Pavement" like people treat Morrissey as "the closest I'll ever get to see The Smiths."
Stephen Malkmus solo records are very good and he's done some stuff he couldn't do with Pavement but they're not Pavement. Just like Morrissey has released some great, unique records.
Pavement were a great, one-of-a-kind mixture of talent. We have a lot of material with the upcoming two "Terror Twilight" and "Brighten The Corners" reissues. Focus and appreciate that. You can't relive your youth. People only have a hard on for Pavement because they broke up. Absence makes the heart grow fonder. There are a lot of bands that are still together from the Pavement era that no one cares about because they never broke up.
Don't believe the myth. Don't believe the hype. Appreciate the bands you have, now. Not the mythical bands you wish in your head.

So it looks like it'll be a week from tomorrow. Doubt it'll be any later.
-
Tomorrow? We hope?
-
Yes, 10 am tomorrow.
-
Tomorrow indeed.
-
Any word on the price?
-
$20 as per the club main page.
-
Yeah, so, after getting Radiohead and then Malkmus tickets, my checking account is pretty empty.
Still... :)
