I bumped into him twice , randomly - at two different Jick's shows. He likes to check out the openers... From the crowd, evidently.

Ha I can vouch for that, I bumped into him at a Pavement show in ‘95. He was in the crowd checking out the Pastels who were supporting

I’ve still got a small plastic bag of pink tiddlywinks the drummer Gary randomly threw into the crowd in London when Pavement supported Sonic Youth in the early 90s- hit me right in the face . Great show

The first time I really got myself into a K hokwI I was listening to the 2001 self titled album and it always brings me back. I saw him with the jicks in Tasmania, Australia in 2015 and it remains the single greatest performance I've ever seen.

Ah man I don't like anything that can make you forget you've taken it :D one time me (this is 20 years ago) and my friends got some and did a bit and decided it wasn't working so we did about 1/4 gram each in one go, cue spending an unknowable amount of time with the room splitting into a million pieces and reassembling itself only to find myself in the other corner of the room, I thought I'd been sent through time on some sort of mission to reclaim my sanity, I'll stick to mushrooms if I wanna feel spazzy in future

It’s frustrating yet refreshing at the same time that he won’t talk about why Pavement broke up, in depth. We might never know the full story and he does sow some seeds of truth in the fact that it was getting tired and it was just the right time. Terror Twilight was good but not as good as the other ones. Pavement and the Jicks made some of my most favorite music of all time but Stephen seems impenetrable as a person and always seems high on something, and nervous, in interviews.

He seems like a pretty well-rounded guy to me, he's just clearly an introvert. Yeah, he usually seems high or something, but that may just be a part of his personality.

Great artist, wonderful music, but like most musicians he doesn't understand politics at all, and even if he did he wouldn't be honest about it. The music industry is controlled by a certain group of people with a certain type of politics, and if you stray off their reservation and say the wrong thing, your career is over.

@BoogWorldwide 3 жыл бұрын

He seems like he could care less about politics, he's totally blasé about everything... Maybe stop throwing all these if's, and's and but's around at someone you don't know? Also there's plenty of people in the music industry who voice there unpopular opinions about politics and there career is still intact, look at Kanye West for example...

@@thenoseknows4389 Malkman gets plenty of shit for being a Tulsi-stan, like he says in the interview. He follows Chapo Trap House, follows hard lefty--some would even call 'em "tankie"--journalists on Twitter who all write for the Grayzone (i.e Max Blumenthal, Rania Khalek, Aaron Mate, Ben Norton, all of whom were really supportive of Tulsi's anti-interventionist slant) and are ruthlessly hounded by the 'establishment' for publishing narratives that go against the usual centrist/center left stuff with regards to places like Syria, Venezuela, China, etc., Seems like it'd be a lot of next-level galaxy brain plotting to be dishonest about his politics like that. Don't hold out any hope that he's some sort of subversive based and red-pilled anti-SJW who's afraid to show his true power level or some bullshit like that--then he'd be next in line after Corgan to show up on InfoWars.

Are you watching a different interview? Malkmus was witty in a dorky self effacing way and was also surprisingly forthright. The interviewer seemed to know his stuff. I mean it's the guy from Pavement. of course he's going to be mumbly or whiny. That's just his style. What do you people expect from him?
