Texto, fotos e vídeos de Ana Clara Matta Na era do streaming, é fácil criar uma visão distorcida do que seria um show inesquecível. Em um vídeo no YouTube ou na TV por Assinatura, ao vivo, uma multidão como a de um Coachella, Glastonbury ou Lollapalooza, ou um estádio lotado qualquer, entoando em conjunto o maior sucesso de seu ídolo, é sem dúvida alguma arrepiante. Mas enquanto o universo multicâmeras da TV é a sua expectativa, a realidade nesses eventos é um pouco diferente - joelhos cansados, filas e sede, e acima de tudo, a [...]

I suppose two of the longest running thematic leitmotifs in music are those of nostalgia and escapism, and the lead track from a forthcoming rerelease of Blank Realm's Go Away LP, Cleaning Up My Mess, oozes with oodles of each sensation. On the one hand, it explicitly recalls the likes of Pavement and Sonic Youth, though in doing so it inadvertently harks back to the scuzzier epochs in which the then fuzzier Gordon, Malkmus, Moore, etc. could be found at the peak of their respective powers. Yet with its wilting licks and languid bass lines, this sardonic ode [...]

The whole is equal to the sum of its parts. There are plenty of bands that prove this old adage – The Rolling Stones, Fleetwood Mac, The Beatles, heck even The Spice Girls, just to name a few. But there’s something impressive about artists being able to branch off from the group and prove themself as a solo star. With yesterday’s news of a Destiny’s Child reunion in the works, it seemed only fitting to tip the hat to Sasha Fierce and her fellow solo acts that struck my fancy. There’s a Mikela mixtape staple (Aimee Man, duh), [...]
Good things are always worth waiting for. Especially if it's good network television, and if the network decides to put the show on DIRECTV before airing on its own network... making fans wait for months before the episodes are re-aired. Thankfully, the third season of Friday Night Lights was well worth the wait, and the fans got exactly what they had hoped for after surviving the DIRECTV debacle and the dreaded writer's strike of 2008. After its considerable lapse, Friday Night Lights continued [...]
Flanders is more than a field, it’s also home to about a bazillion festivals. Putting last year’s tragedy in the rearview, Pukkelpop – dubbed the European Coachella by DJ Martin Solveig and held August 16-18th in Kiewit, Belgium – was this year a celebration of great music. So how does one girl plan her attack of 14-hour days, eight stages, 200+ bands and DJs, in 97°F heat? With good shoes, bottles of water, and a long lens. The first day saw Paris’ drum n’ bass assassins Dirtyphonics nail the Dance Hall and its inhabitants [...]
השבוע הקרוב הוא השבוע של סטיבן מלקמוס והג'יקס (מילה שהוא המציא, מסתבר). ברביעי בערב הוא יופיע בבארבי בתל אביב, ובאותו יום אחר הצהריים אראיין אותו בתדר\הקצה (עוד פרטים פה בהמשך). מה שזה אומר עבורי הוא בעיקר שאשמע המון פייבמנט ובעיקר המון מלקמוס בימים הקרובים. למעשה זה כבר קורה כמה ימים. אני חייב להודות שהצטרפתי מאוחר [...]

En esta ocasión, Malkmus configura su trabajo con ambientes sonoros relajados, para ofrecer [...]

As Stereogum points out , Malkmus and co.'s contribution, a take on 19892s "Wheels of Fire”, was recently played on a Canadian radio station, and you can stream the replay here (scroll to the 1:48:10 mark.) For context, L.A. Guns' version is below. The second 73 in the series is out March 20th and features lo-fi hardcore upstarts OBN III’s. The third, available May 22nd, promises Brooklyn [...]
Check out Malkmus' foray into glam-metal.
Last month, Stephen Malkmus And The Jicks teamed up with the glam-metal veterans L.A. Guns to cover each other on a split single for Matador's Singles Going Home Alone story, and it took forever for either song from the 73 to make it to the internet. Trust me, we've been looking. But now you can finally hear Malkmus and company faithfully taking on the L.A. Guns rager " Wheels Of Fire ." The song got played on the Canadian community radio station CJSR, and you can hear the entire show here . Jump to the 1:48:10 mark [...]

Well, 2011. You were quite the year! So much so that I’ve only been able to recover enough to think about you a full week into 2012. Crazy, huh? New jobs, lots of change, oodles of shenanigans, and yes, lots of good music. So much so, that I undoubtedly missed vast quantities of things that [...]
Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks "No One Is (As I Are Be)" It's not as if Stephen Malkmus has been spending his years writing a lot of songs that make perfect literal sense, but I find this one to be particularly slippery – I can key into the central emotion here but I can't quite tell you what that emotion is, and the lines resonate with me in a major way, but when I really think about them, I am hard pressed to tell you why. And this may be part of why I love it [...]

On January 14th, Matador Records and its subsidiary True Panther Sounds will release an 11-track vinyl-only sampler entitled Intended Play . Pressed on cherry red vinyl, the collection includes new and unreleased music from Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks, Sonic Youth's Lee Ranaldo, Perfume Genius, Ceremony, and Tanlines, as well as previously released tracks from Fucked Up, Girls, Cold Cave, and Kurt Vile. As per above, it also comes wrapped in a pretty bad ass cover. Here's the best part though: the thing costs only $1.98. Pre-orders are now ongoing at Matador's web store . Intended [...]
