stephen malkmus and the jicks, new and improved! now with janet weiss (left of center) - sleater-kinney's fantastic drummer. and who is that foxy minx on the right? why, joanna bolme, portland's resident bassist, and elliott smith producer. i'm not sure who the dude on the left is, but he rocks the keys. them's the jicks (= jerks + dicks apparently). stephen malkmus (in white) writes the tunes and shreds on the guitar.
enjoy the guitar noodling and fuzzy synths on this double mix, compiled from their pre-emotional trash albums: 'stephen malkmus', 'pig lib', and 'face the truth'.
mellow:
1. pink india
2. vanessa from queens
3. mama
4. vague space
5. trojan curfew
6. post-paint boy
harsh:
1. pencil rot
2. dark wave
3. troubbble
4. i've hardly been
5. baby c'mon
6. the hook
and for those who are able, come along for a caravaning journey to the berkshires to see them live at mass moca! tickets are still available for 20 bucks here. show starts at 8 this friday (opener john vanderslice). groovy!
