Malkmus Tickets

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

It's listed on John Vanderslice's site if that counts for any confirmation:

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.

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.
