@howelldrake fuck yeah dude!

he's awesome

Everything that makes SM great--and divisive--is in evidence here, The beautiful melody that he is barely able to sing, the clever guitar part that you almost can't make out for all the slop, the lyric that teases you with coherence and emotion and jars you with non-sequitor and nonsense, and the overall detached, aloof carelessness that sounds so great on SM but that you should never, ever try to cultivate yourself 'cause it won't sound great when you do it.

Compelling, perplexing.

@howelldrake couldnt have said it better my friend, SM has been the best sonnwiter for the past 10+ years and his accoustic versions/sesions prove it...long live the live real guitar n singing!!!! -especially when they can sing and play!!!!
-
This can be played pretty easily in standard tuning. Vocal melody in D Mixolydian (Key of C) but he works in the b3 sooooo nicely in the intro line. Malkmus' greatest of many strengths is composition, and his extended phrasing. Genius song.

This guy writes so many memorable hooks. Pavement is ok, but SM's solo stuff is so inspired. Love it.

This demonstrates the truism that it's not a song unless you can play it (I will add...powerfully) on acoustic. I wish more bands subjected their wanking crap to that acid test, and that more labels utilized it before signing nowhere acts. I used to think that SM was incapable of doing convincing solo versions of his own, brilliant songs until I saw this session.
