A couple months ago I got to interview Stephen Malkmus for Pitchfork, australia, uk, us, usa, Ordering Doxycycline cap. online, and after a bit of a wait, the feature has been published on the site, purchase Doxycycline cap. online no prescription. I'm very proud of how it came out, and I'm super grateful for the opportunity to do a nice long interview with my favorite musician. The conversation spans his entire career, from the beginning of Pavement on through his current work on the next Jicks album, with a particular focus on Brighten The Corners. We spent a fair chunk of the interview discussing his motives and methods in regards to the songs that never get properly finished, or get cut from the albums, which is something I had been wondering about as a fan for quite some time. If you've been curious as to why "Walk Into The Mirror" didn't make it on to Real Emotional Trash, you're in luck -- I made a point of specifically asking about that song, and he gave a pretty good answer.

Spaceman says:

Good interview. Just read it and searched for this song because I had never heard of it.

You say you did the interview a couple of months ago. So when he says a new album “next year” he means 2009? If so, great news.

Matthew Perpetua says:

Yeah, we did the interview in November, a little before Thanksgiving. I reckon the new Jicks album will come out in the fall, or maybe very early 2010, given that Matador favors putting out their big guns in the first quarter.

dhs says:

Kudos, Matt. I saw it in the sidebar at pitchfork and immediately looked for the byline, figured who it’d be.

I’ve run into the guy a few times around the city and he’s always approachable, and even forthcoming about guitar tunings. Definitely looking forward to reading your interview today.

Tropical Iceland says:

He broke new ground on this one…the title track peaks like 4 seperate times…you start with the “On the Beach” atmosphere, then come the Television solos, then the VU/Crazy Horse exorcism, then the Bob Weir HWY saga already in progress, then the Bill Murray victory lap around the city at the 8 min mark, then the pretty Jimi comedown…
They were really in tune with this set.

Very nice interview, Matthew. It’s interesting to hear him talk about b-sides or just other tunes that get left off of albums for whatever. Like, I really like Walk into the Mirror, but now I get why it’s not on the album, and it’s not about ‘feel’ or ‘atmosphere’ or whatever, which is what a lot of people seem to say. “It just didn’t fit,” or whatever. I like that he’s willing to just lay it out and say what he thinks is wrong with a song. Maybe it’s not just the “it doesn’t fit,” maybe it’s got other problems.

I liked the part about returning to old unreleased songs an album later, but never later than that. It’s an interesting concept. Radiohead returning to Nude after 10 years or whatever yielded great results, but I think a lot times you can damage the way people might experience a thing by doing that. Like, I sort of feel like I shouldn’t listen to some of those old bootleg versions of that song anymore, because now Radiohead has laid it down and put it on In Rainbows, and that’s how they want it heard, you know? And it’s pretty different. Anyway. It’s a good read.

a few things:

1. hosannas for a great malk interview.

2. holy shit - i love this final version of “Walk into a Mirror,” and wish it’d been more than a bonus track, because if it had been I would’ve liked Real Emotional Trash a great deal more than i did. for the first time in ages, i came away really let down by a malkmus record last year. that’s what i get for listening to live versions of songs before a band has even entered a studio to lay ‘em down.

3. you heard anything about what the furnaces are up to at this point?

2/10/09 9:22 am

1) Thanks, Ray!
2) I think you should give RET another chance, as it is a really wonderful record that really seems to get better with time, the more it is lived-in.
3) Yeah, apparently they’ve got two albums in the works, to be released this year.

2/10/09 9:30 am

whoa, furnaces! damn.

“astral facial” is fantastic, and i already dread hearing the form it ultimately takes because i fear it will break my heart.

i dunno, man. RET just…it’s lacking something the first three solo records had going for them. i want to say that it’s overly jammy but i dug the earlier jammy songs, and i LIKED the jammy RET tracks in live form. i guess i wish the Jicks were a messier band on wax, just crazier? still sorting out my thoughts about all this, hate to rain on everybody’s parade and stuff here, so i’ll shut it now. maybe i’ll wind up being like one of those dead fans who eschews the albums and obsessed over the boots.

only RET final version i can get solidly behind is “dragonfly pie.” my review of this album spells my feelings out a bit better maybe (but probably not):

did you get my email the other day?

2/10/09 9:34 am

i should clarify: i don’t HATE real emotional trash. i just want to love it, and i can’t love it the way i love the others. it’s analogous to how i felt about Brighten the Corners when it came out, and that’s grown on me with time.

Oh, I definitely think Real Emotional Trash is superior to Face The Truth. I certainly think most of the songs were improved on the album compared to the early concert versions — I didn’t care about the original “Gardenia,” and “Wicked Wanda” and “Elmo Delmo” blow away early versions. The latter two are among my favorite songs he’s ever done. “Astral Facial,” seriously, I wouldn’t worry about it. That songs will almost definitely be better when it’s done, especially since it’s the kind of tune that will be flattered by some gloss.

namhenderson says:

Great interview.
Right topics covered and like the length.
I read yesterday and didn’t even pay attention to the byline.
Shoudl have known it was you. Especially with the focus on the music making/mental editing process of structuring albums songs et al.

Michael Brett says:

Hey, thanks for giving us the OK to engage in earnest sentiment. I happen to believe earnest sentiment is the best export art can grant. I’ll take the earnest sentiment of Neil Young over the arch, coy, up his own sphincter irony of Stephen Malkmus. The whole indie rock world can take a big ‘ole colonic full of earnest sentiment. Would do it much good.

Malkmus is the hipster Jerry Garcia. Three great Pavement albums. Awful lot of garbage.
