I could've went to this gig if I weren't a huge socially awkward faggot.

[ThePhil230]

Ok..this is awesome.

[deftcheng]

Who the fuck is this fag?

[rorberyllium]

Doesn't get much more hip than this.

[Thomas Welraeds]

Would love to love it. But it only shows how Can was great and unique. Quite Boring.

[cestrad]

I guess maybe the answer is "He did it because he can." When you get to that level of indie-darling-of-the-undergrou­nd-ness, you could jerk off on stage and people will pay to watch. For sure he has affection for the originals. But so do lots of us ;) And the only way to get close to Liebezeit would be.. to hire Liebezeit

[Ghetto Monk]

Malkmus seems to have an affection for the original recordings, but it would have been much better for everyone if he had never attempted this. His drummer is nowhere NEAR the league of Liebezeit. And how does one cover lyricless songs anyway?

[cestrad]

It's just like Can, but for douche bags!

[cestrad]

or maybe 8 people (now 10) realize Can is 100x better than anything Malkmus ever did or could dream of doing. This is utter garbage

[TheCagedTiger]

This is great

[helen bedd]
