![[Album Review/Listen] – 1,2,3 – "New Heaven"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3538104_lg.jpg)
Tweet Buy it from Amazon: Vinyl | MP3 - From their store: Vinyl | CD | MP3 On great records, it's not uncommon to point to one tiny little moment as the exact spot that made you fall in love with an album. On 1,2,3 's debut full-length "New Heaven", that precise moment for me is the first thirty seconds of "Confetti," just about the midpoint of the record, where during the soft [...]

We keep our eyes peeled for new tour dates announcements each week and compile them on Tuesdays for this handy column… Reunion-mania seemed to finally peak in 2010, when after over a decade apart influential indie-rock band Pavement regrouped for a highly successful, lengthy world tour. After spending the majority of last year on the road with his former band mates, Stephen Malkmus will release his fifth solo album, Mirror Traffic, with his longtime band The Jicks . Produced by Beck, the 12-track album will be released via Matador on August 23. [...]
The fleeting guitar-pop of The Demos presents itself like a smörgåsbord of indie-rock influences. Pop pioneers like The Beatles and Brian Wilson can be heard in much of today's music, but the prevalence of contrived imitation over infused creativity now prevents listeners from fully grasping their impact on a variety of pop/rock styles. The Demos' [...]

I know what the senator wants / What the senator wants is a blow job If you're anything like me, you're sick, sick, sick of all these politico sex scandals--they're a nauseating press headache of mundane proportions (ahem, Weinergate ). And so, a golf clap for Stephen Malkmus and his Jicks . "Senator" is the first single off their forthcoming record, Mirror Traffic , and its release is pretty timely, espeically with lyrics like those above. Nice to hear Malkmus maintain his tounge-in-cheek, Pavement* roots and the jam-band lumbering [...]

Pavement — The Killing Moon (Echo & The Bunnymen Cover) From the Major Leagues EP ( Matador ; 1999) He's a yo-yo man, always up and down / So take him to the end of his temper I'm out— have an excellent Friday, folks.
Lots to add to your list. Keep an ear out for the Beck -produced track from Stephen Malkmus (LP out 8/23), released just in time for Weinergate to, uh, expose itself. Enjoy thoroughly.

Oh how appropriate that this song should surface after the new scandal from a New York state Senator has surfaced recently! Former Pavement frontman Stephen Malkmus has been in the studio with the musical love of my life, Beck for a little over two years working on the upcoming album from Stephen Malkmus and The Jicks , titled Mirror Traffic , which is due out on August 23rd, courtesy of Matador (22 in UK via Domino). We all know what the Senator wants, but Malkmus and the gang have made [...]

I guess you wouldn't really expect a record made with two of the head honchos of the 902s indie music scene, to sound like anything less than, well... 902s indie rock. "Senator", our first taste from the Beck produced Stephen Malkmus and The Jicks' album Minor Traffic is all sorts of Pavement-y goodness. And with a line like "What the Senator wants is a blow job", the song seems just all too appropriate for today's political climate. Check it out below- Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks - "Senator"

Last summer, Pavement pleased us all when they reunited and returned to the music world, making the festival rounds and bringing back the hits like 'Shady Lane' and 'Cut Your Hair'. Looks like frontman Stephen Malkmus hasn't called it quits on the music thing yet (YES), as the first track from his fifth solo album, the Beck-produced 'Mirror Traffic', hit the web today - even though it's not due out til later this summer. Head on over to matadorrecords.com to download Stephen Malkmus And [...]
After the big reunion tour with his band Pavement and the "Quarantine The Past" Best Of album, it was about time that Stephen Malkmus made some with his latest band The Jicks. The result is their album "Mirror Traffic", which is produced by Beck and will be released on August 22, 2011. This is the [...]

Товарищи из Matador подтвердили – 22 августа выйдет новый, пятый post-pavement альбом Stephen Malkmus «Mirror Traffic», продюсером которого выступил Beck, который, похоже, решил не вмешиваться в классику самодеятельной музыки. Судя по «Senator», это лучшее, что он мог сделать. Малкмус, в свою очередь, достигает новых вершин выразительности и удивляет многозначительн ой «I know what the senator wants, what the senator wants is a blow job». Кстати, говорят, турки украли малкмусовскую «Baby C'Mon» ещё до рождения музыканта. Как такое возможно? Смотрите оригинал номер раз и оригинал номер два .

Pavement es uno de esos conjuntos que ha dejado más fanáticos fieles que oyentes, casi al estilo de The Velvet Underground o cualuqiera de esos conjuntos que podemos sacar de la galera y poner en primera plana para poder pensar la manera en que se estuvo haciendo música en un determinado período: qué se escuchaba, qué no, quién compró tal o cual disco, etc. En este sentido, Stephen Malkmus , líder y voz del conjunto, siguió en esta misma línea de banda independiente que recorre los circuitos undergrund o universitarios y que en alguna [...]
