Stephen Malkmus at Phoenix Concert Theatre (July 16, 2008)It's taking me a little longer than expected to get up a review of the Stephen Malkmus and The Jicks show at Phoenix on July 16 (and I might just abandon it altogether). But having attended a wedding/reception on Saturday and Rogers Picnic on Sunday, I am pooped.Photos from the show over at Flickr.MySpace: Still Life StillMySpace: Stephe...

Portland Filmmaker Dan Woods got a bunch of sorta-familiar indie rockers to sing "Gardenia," which is a fine backup plan when Stephen Malkmus is too much of a Jick to show up to his own video shoot. (J/K, Stevie.) Fortunately Portland is an indie rock theme park and a proven breeding round for fun name-that-cameo video s. In addition to lip-synching from Weezer's Brian Bell, Cribs' Gary Jarmin,...

Adding another entry to the canon unexpected covers , Steve Malkmus & the Jicks teamed up with stage mates and fellow Portland residents Blitzen Trapper to put a spin on James Gang's James Gang Ride Again classic "Funk #49." The hootenanny took place at the Pageant in St. Louis this past Saturday. It involves as much awkward dancing as it does inventive percussion -- see SM's bottle water, for ...

The Cribs' Gary Jarman. Weezer's Brian Bell. Modest Mouse's Joe Plummer. Girl Talk aka Gregg Gills. Ratatat. This may sound like the coolest tea ever, but it's actually the all-star cast set to appear in the new Stephen Malkmus and the Jick's video for "Gardenia."The track, fresh off this spring's Real Emotional Trash, is directed by Portland-based film maker Daniel Wood and features the afore...

(and it all relates)i had a dream last night like most. i remember some of it. it's music related.let me summarize... stephen malkmus and i. we were in love. we played in traffic. the ground behind us was this crazy trippy cartoonish appearance that wiggled oh-so slightly. (like a chad vangaalen animation). we didn't speak. we hung out at the food mart and drank red slurpies. but the be...

Thought this would sound pretty good right about now. "Baby C'Mon" off Malkmus' Face The Music.

Old album but I still love it. Fun jam at the end too. Stephen Malkmus was the frontman for Pavement which I also think is great. I don't have much else of his solo stuff but I need to get it. He is amazing live as well. Check it out...

i am going alphabetical because for the life of me I can not rank my favorites from this year... I tried last week. I have to say that I listened to Stephen Malkmus the most... I had a unnatural obsession with this album for quite some time this spring/summer, and the song Real Emotional Trash is 10 min long, starts off slow but twists its way into one of the best songs I have heard in a long...

What the fuck was I thinking. Skipping the Pitchfork Music Festival. My favoritist-ist music artist of all time...Stephen Malkmus played a solo set. I knew he would probably pull out some suprises since he was Jick-less (minus his band).He surpassed that by more that a little.He stepped up and started the set with Heaven Is A Truck (old Pavement song. Whoa. I miss Pavement. From there he broke ...

Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks played to an audience brimming with the intoxicating scent of bearded, checked-shirt sporting aging rock dudes. Vanessa From Queens was missing but the gang was all there.
