    can’t name anything more musically satisfying than the nonchalance in his voice

  • @panicindreams8284
    @panicindreams8284 5 лет назад +17

    Such a unique, beautiful sometimes fragile voice. Played watery domestic in my sixth form common room when it came out and he's still just as vital and exciting.

    I dreamed today that i went to a Pavement concert. The Venue was empty and the stage resembled an scaffolding. Here started playing although no musician was there to be seen. Then they all appeared through different holes at the scaffolding's net and sat on an empty table on the floor. I also sat, right across Malkmus and they all looked happy and focused on the music coming through some speakers although none was playing. When the voice part came Stephen started nodding his head to the others as if asking them to start singing. Nobody did, so he started looking directly at me and i realized he was asking me to start singing. And i went for it, all in and felt such happiness as i realized i was nailing it that i just woke up.

    Freeze the Saints has been one of my favorites forever. I'm almost more excited to hear that than Trigger Cut. Done is good but done well is so much fucking better.

    @ABrookeByTheTree 6 лет назад +9

    Mentor and muse, yet a boy within a man within a clever boy within a wise man. He always seems so sad, with an inside joke secret that keeps him happier than we know. This set was pure intimate splendor! The only thing better than it being acoustic, is if I was sitting against the wall, opposite those windows.

    I think I might prefer acoustic Shiggy. Those chords + on a 12 string are gorgeous
    and the contrast between acoustic and electronic interludes is cool. Wonder if that's relating to the rumoured electronic album

      Some rumours from the Stephen Malkmus forum. the new album thread
      You can also see a full song if you search "@dronecoma dishing" on google. =Back when he opened for Animal Collective. official Malk site said it was a "unique solo performance of material never before performed live"

      @JuanCarruyo 6 лет назад

      you sir, are correct! And on the matador records instagram shows that the actual Middle America and Refute tunings are CECEGC. However, he's playing middle america in the CGDGBE half step down here.
