Stephen Malkmus - Gold Soundz

[aj141070]

dunno about respecting spiral; SM usually played the solos, including 'gold soundz' i think. most of the memorable pavement solos like 'summer babe' and 'infinite spark/fin' were him, but he tended to deviate from the recorded versions live. i can understand wanting to be freer than just replicating the album, but it often meant that live the solos were a scree of noise rather than some of the lovely melodies he picked out on record.

[urokr]

There is absolutely nothing that could make that song better. It is complaetely perfect.

[aj141070]

@urokr and 'strings of nashville' on the b-side. greatest single ever.

[youngjiggaphat]

ive been sittin here too long

[ascgal]

my favorite song of all time...

[AirHendrix91]

Holy shit, there are Pavement fans in Korea. That's awesome.

Damn, he played that beginning riff real quick. What a tease lol.

SM pleases me indeed :).

Go back, to those gold soundz, and keep my advent to yourself.

PAVEMENT R.I.P.....

although stephen is good solo.....

[ChrisHasSpareTime]

Is Malkmus using a Strat? Anyone know what model that is?

[paulmalkmus]

It's a Tele, don't know the specifics.

[TomSkell]

I think it's a 5'2 reissue.

[toohipgottago]

@ChrisHasSpareTime

it's a Fender Telecaster '52 reissue

[Masterphonic]

@ChrisHasSpareTime Looks like a 52ri Tele

[BENSON018]

Stephen Malkmus is the coolest person alive i think

[ascgal]

I love this song.

[chrisocony]

thanks for posting this; another great video by Stephen Malkmus via paulmalkmus

[loretascars]

Love Gold Soundz, but its just not as good without pavement, too quick, not as tight, love Spiral on guitar on this song and he is missed here. At about 1:47 in is when SS would be jamming.

[silentgalaxy27]

Gold Soundz is possibly the greatest song by Pavement! I remember listening to this over and over in seventh grade back in 95!

[ZRN959]

@silentgalaxy27 me for ninth grade back in 09-10.

[stankler]

Seung Hoon on drums from Yellow Kitchen.Min Soo on guitar.They are friends who learned all the pavement songs for the event.theyre all big pavement fans too.

[TallFastLoud]

Stephen Malkmus playing a song with a pavement cover band strikes me as hilarious for some reason. Pretty good epitomization of Pavement, really. this song is great

[Lugak14]

Kim Deal is easily the most beautiful woman in the history of the world.

[con40dmitri]

Im dying to see Malkmus live!

[lovepavement]

i saw him yesterday :)))))))))

[Lindyhops17]

I prefer the Pavement version,

But still cool.

[york124]

malkmus for prez

[mattguerra]

weiss for veep

[jedXr]

Sorry, Kim Deal isn't exactly "hot." Tanya Donnelly is hot. And, there will be no dissing of Scott allowed. Oh, and this is a great vid.

[koolaidgoldsoundz]

SM even did some of Spiral's parts for him.

[somewhathere]

with that comment from majstor325123, it could've been on purpose too. i've seen and heard some other pavement stuff where he adds in the odd sharp or flat.

[TargetAudience1]

I'm starting to wonder if this is in Seoul or not

[podycheck]

Do I gotta go to South Korea to hear good old Pavement now?

[cgullo]

this wasn't malkmus's band, it was a korean pavement cover band that malkmus heard of and thought it would be funny to play with when he was touring in seoul. i'm sure it made the band's lives.

[sugarkang]

puhlease. there's no such thing as a korean pavement cover band. this is malkmus's band, most likely the jicks.

[rgyoung]

hang on. watch the end. those guys look pretty korean.

[liambf]

does that bassist look like a girl to you?

[TargetAudience1]

I think the Jicks do have a girl bassist. I heard she used to date Elliott Smith.

[liambf]

of course. that's why this can't be the jicks. that is not joanna on bass

[peacefrogx]

her name is Joanne and she's kimdeal-hot.

[TargetAudience1]

I love KimDeal-Hot!

[aa3]

That is indeed a Korean band - I forget their name - which played Pavement covers in addition to their own tunes. They were pretty good. I was there on 7 January 2002: the ticket's in front of me now. The place was packed. Malkmus shared the bill with Mary Timony. After the show, he signed CDs - mine included - and posters. A great, freezing night with Mr Malkmus!

[fetchmebeers]

HOLY CRAP.... Seoul? No kidding. Had I f**king known. Well in 2002 I pretty much had no idea who the f**k Stephen Malkmus was anyway... but STILL. DUDE. My eyes are now streaming with tears... I'm dead serious it's not even funny.

[sjt540]

he didn't "fuck up the solo" he respected spiral stairs by just doing his own part of a Pavement song solo. Remember this is Steves solo band. I think it was awesome that he did not have another person "duplicate" Spiral's solo guitar part

[paulmalkmus]

I think that majstor325123 meant he hit a wrong note

[velvetu124710]

umm...from every pavement - gold soundz live video ive never seen spiral staircase played the solo, sm did. psh malkmus is a 100 times better guitar player, songwriter, pretty much anything than spiral.

[velvetu124710]

umm...from all the pavement - gold soundz live videos ive seen, spiral staircase never played the solo, sm did. psh, malkmus is a 100 times better guitarist, songwriter, pretty much anything than spriral staircase.

[smokingfast]

really good video

[majstor325123]

he fucked up the solo but still sounds good!

[kwfarmer]

i have an epiphany every time i hear this song

[Zxcf7217]

One of the coolest songs I've ever heard

[ThatHansonCover]

...this video just made me cry. I havent cried in years. thank you-

[planettelex]

hhaaa good one

[baumbom]

cuz it's secret

[planettelex]

When I saw Malk live he didnt play and Pavement songs.

Thanks for putting this up.

[lockdownyouraerial]

pavement were gods no doubt. heart forever

[cvillian]

This is one of my all-time favorite Pavement songs! Thanks a lot for putting it up!

[blip]
