"It's insidious, like......capitalism" lmfao

i just love how subtle he is with trashing on fox here. he’s just slipping in little bits of goodness.

thank you steven malcoms good luck with the uh cd

I encourage him, I would totally go on fox news and milk the cow because this is one bad cow.

Who at Matador came up with this idea?

Priceless...the kind of humorous detachment with which he answers the questions...That one on capitalism too.

I think this is one of the better interviews I've seen him get or give.

so funny, I think he was making a lot of digs at fox with "I don't know what ghetto that came out of" and "this economic climate" and what not

WTF? Stephen Malkmus on Fox News??

I agree. Malkmus really seemed to be enjoying himself.

Slanted and Enchanted was a fucking great album though.

God it's so obvious Malkmus doesn't wanna be there, it's a total joke to him. I wonder if Matador put him up to that or something. I wish Fox News would just implode.

Surprised to Stephen on Fox News but that was actually a damn good music interview. A rare thing for fox. I think Stephen wanted to talk about the economy more than the host did. Stephen tried to get political a couple times with the little economical jokes but the host didn't bite and continued with the questions about his music. The host was overly kissing Malkmus's ass but still a decent music interview. Not what I was expecting when I clicked on "Stephen Malkmus on Red Eye"

yeah he is definitely one of the coolest people ever!!

Is this real?

I like the last question "Did you ever do anything weird in the Museum?" hahahah

stop making fun of the host. he's my dad and his gout is really bad sometimes. also, when he asked about 'weird' stuff in the museum it's because he got molested by a security guard when he was a kid. now when he says 'time to do weird stuff' he means him and his friends smashing rails of coke before going on camera. they usually have to delete the coke rocks stuck to his face digitally. please stop making fun of him.

His forced snickers and clawing eagerness are unbearable

malk is SO uncomfortable

I'm pretty sure Stephen Malkmus agreed to appear on this show for the same reason Bill O'Reilly and John Bolton agreed to appear on The Daily Show. You can tell he looks and sounds pretty bummed/bored to be on Fox News, and he did take a rip at the economy (Bush was still president when Real Emotional Trash came out) and capitalism. I'm pretty sure several other indie musicians have appeared on Red Eye.

I'm proud of both of these guys. Way to give it a whirl. Greg's clearly geeked up about Stephen going through with this.

That was the funniest comment I've read in a while. Cheers.

his wit is makes me smile

Stephen is too smart for these clowns

lol this interview was hilarious. lol at the interviewer for trying to match wits with stephen, and his fuddling his name at the end

The culture can't be jammed.

lol i cant believe i missed this lol maybe i should watch tv more often lmao

I think it's nice that they didn't get into politics! Two people that probably really disagree about a lot, but music rightfully should transcend all of that.

Why was he on this show? Bizarre!

did he say "bandtastic"?

Heeey, I recognize footage from the take-away shows there. Those are some really awesome performances. Watching malkmus's face through this thing is hilarious

Back when Gutfeld was tolerable.

"He knows Guitar like I know Gout" theres a story there I know

Not being from America, I find this interview really weird.

I like how malkmus looks like he's thinking "what the fuck is wrong with this guy?" when he says "malkmus knows guitar like I know gout"

jimi hendrix allowed himself to go far, not capitalism...you are way off base kiddo

i can never tell if malkmus is being pompous or not

he founded the silver jews (who've just broken up) with David Berman in about 1989. He played and sang on a few of their records - i think 'American Water' is the one he features on most

In my family “jick” is slang for an alcoholic

He looks like Michael Showalter.

he's awesome

Hahahah, I thought this was a very enjoyable interview!

Dandy's fine...might want to keep the "Nah's" to a minimum as well. Good day sir...Oh you reminded me, check out the Dandy Warhols, you might like 'em.

the host has some sort of super ADD

You'll find more and more that jealousy and delusional self-importance are the juice on which mainstream culture, belief-systems and hierarchy run.

Actually an OK interview. Go check out the Pavement interview on 180 minutes for comparison.

Crooked Rain is better.

No lines of coke. It´s just Stephen Malkmus at it's best.

you guys are so literate! ..are we cool again now?

"only Nixon could go to China.."

its between pavement and dinosaur jr.

Quite simple, you see. Jealous people who don't have half the talent that Malkmus does call him 'pretentious'.

people always seem to think they could do a better job than the interviewer in any given interview, it's weird. This guy had done his research and had some interesting questions which is all you can ask really

This interview is full of lolz

Maybe Steve went on Fox because they have the most viewers in every time slot by far.

why foxs news? He should have his own album.

lol you're a good son

what in the world is malkmus doing on fox news? i don't mind, but what the heck?

I dont think the host is a douche, I think he genuinely respects Malkmus music.

lol

except he was a member of the silver jews before pavement.... and during ....

Think about it, Pavement is a business, they sold shows, albums and merchandise, to accumulate wealth and allow the members to make a comfortable living. Used that accumulated wealth to purchase better equipment, record better albums, and play at larger venues in various countries, the whole time increasing their "profits" from their art. I love Pavement and Malkmus, but really the basic concepts of Capitalism are what has allowed him to live comfortably solely from his art. Voluntary support.

Kinda insidious, like capitalism.

Hopefully that's the last time you say swag

Steve Malkmus on Fox :-(

the host is shouting at me...make it stop!

irony

jick...the j from jagger and the m from mick

@gavinadam Coke? What, with Bill?

why the fuck is he so cool?

'He knows guitar like i know gout' hmmmm....

I dunno I don't think you should be watching Fox, man, either way. But if you can bear it good on you for being open minded I guess

The guys seems really enjoying talking to Stephen.

Malkmus was more open here than he is in most interviews. See, there's just an eensy weensy chance that he doesn't share a lot of his fans' political bigotry

god i hate greg gutfield lol

3:41

lol you watch fox? wow. thats all i can say.

haha i think its funny... i think it would be even funnier if malkmus was capitalist... totally against all the other "indie" rockstars.. If i was a girl i would marry him

This is fucking halirious!

How many lines of coke did this host have before the interview?

hahaha strangest comment on all of youtube.

@Lovegood44 frankly he looks like a Republican to me!

malkmus?

so hmmmm at you're comment.

@MEYERS3000 He's joking... Look, I hate FOX News as much as the next guy, but to not recognize this as quality interview ABOUT music, then you've proven everyone's point... That is; it doesn't matter if you're Left (Liberal) or Right (Conservative), if you're an extreme on either end without an open ear, then you can never be open-minded. Picking a side (i.e. Left - and blindly hating the Right) without knowing why makes you just as pathetic.

Hey, guys. I don't like Fox news, either!!! Am I cool now?

how is that biased? he was referring to the energetic and inspirational momentum Obama has. ANYONE can admit that Obama has plenty of charisma, as compared to other candidates throughout the history of televised presidential campaigns. you'd have to be fool to not feel his energy. just like you'd have to a fool to not feel the energy Palin brought to her ticket...which Chris Matthews talked about as well. and it's okay to be biased...as long as you're fair...Fox is not fair.

The host is very very creepy.

Jimi Hendrix sold a product in the form of an album and his labor in the form of performances to accumulate wealth and get his name out there, he signed contractual agreements with record companies and sold his product and his labor to the masses and allowed it to expand his fan base and travel the world. That is pure capitalism my friend. If not for Capitalism there wouldn't be products with Hendrix's name on them and he wouldn't be widely regarded by virtually everyon as the greatest guitarist

Is there a way we can censor out the FOX News logo so we can all discuss something else?

Well I mean idealogy aside he actually likes Malkmus music. He is a big fan of old school punk rock and indie. You don't have to be a liberal to enjoy good music. Im not.

stephen malkmus and fox news seemed to me like 2 worlds that should and would not ever combine... why is the interviewer shouting the entire time? Is everyone in the fox news studio constantly on drugs?

Capitalism isn't "American" ALL developed nations have a form of capitalism. J.K. Rowling is a multi millionaire off of capitalism as is Eric Clapton, Ravi Shankar, etc. No economic system truly appreciates artists like capitalism.
