There used to be a bunch of MP3’s available for Stephen Malkmus so that you could get a great sense of what the erstwhile Pavement frontman has been up to for most of the last decade — and if you haven’t been keeping up, you’re missing out. We’re down to one: the sprawling, guitarilicious Randy Newman cover (!) “Baltimore,” all 6 minutes and 37 seconds of it. The new album is called Real Emotional Trash and as far as I can tell there is no release date yet, so don’t wear out this stocking stuffer too soon because it may be all you get for Christmas.
Sharing the sharing.
OK, so I totally missed the Pavement boat back in the day (everyone kept comapring them to REM, and I was SO over REM), but these are great songs! I'm grateful to have been finally clued in to this guy.
i think no jicks this time around, just the SM himself.
check out "Mama" if you get your hands on the LP. O the family
