The Frenzy Continues!

There’s another dis-packed interview with Malkmus in today’s Sunday Times.

On Kate Bush: “It seemed to be like it’s the 19th century, like she was an aristocrat riding her horse to the studio, but they weren’t doing that now, it’s the Seventies and she’s like, ‘Oh, maybe I’ll make an album’ and ‘Oh, she’s so artistic’, all this baggage attached to it, it’s like an E. M. Forster novel.”

On Pink Floyd: “Hmm, let’s add some bells. Erase it. OK, let’s do it again, little slower, speed the tape up, put those tapes away, don’t worry I’ve got one year, it doesn’t matter. Let’s take the Rolls to London and go see that Nicolas Roeg movie. Oh no, let’s not. I’m going to fix this guitar tone for a couple of days . . . I’ll do this guitar solo. Beeoowwng! There, that guitar solo took a week to do.”

On Kurt Cobain: “Was Kurt the Messiah? Naaaoo! He was, like, a spoilt, cute, little guy, a good yeller who made that big, overproduced album that got huge. People have been feeding off that carcass for a long time.”

Other than those quotes, the article is almost completely pointless.
