Stephen Malkmus on The Late Show with Letterman

SM on Letterman, playing "Jenny & the Ess Dog," from his 2001 self-titled debut release. UPDATE: 9/26/11: SONY ATV has just filed a claim that this video has content that is owned or licensed by Sony ATV Publishing. Can't be SM's music, because it was released on Matador Records. What does Sony have to do with CBS or Letterman? God I hate corporations.

I like the way he fluffs the lyrics a little, nerves?

[Andysays]

@AKALucifer I dunno. One thing we love about Malk is that he improvises, both guitar lines and lyrics. What sounds like flubbed lyrics might be a little of that. That said, I can't spot the "flub" here.

Great song, almost makes you wonder if he needed the other band members to write all other classic pavement songs ;-)

[Andysays]

@luyendao Well, wasn't the last Pavement album essentially a solo album? :)

[wevegotafileonyou]

@Andysays I actually don't really like Malkmus's solos albums. Nevertheless Terror Twillight is still my favourite Pavement's Album. So, (...) :)

And "Jenny & the Ess Dog" is a good song!

[Andysays]

@wevegotafileonyou Actually I don't like them either, apart from the first one. Which broke my heart.

[Andysays]

@jacobmal ...and that's a pretty nice haircut.

Malkmus' solo stuff is great! It's more mature for sure, but still amazing.

[sateliteoflove202]

classic Shaffer

[wfo739]

I love this performance. Stephen Malkmus ftw!

[Hower98]

Pavement had more control over their sound, and they sounded near-perfect :p Malkmus is still great though

[ogamus2006]

i really wish he would play some songs from crooked rain, crooked rain still. best pavement album ever.

[wevegotafileonyou]

@nilbog44 I am a huge fan of Pavement, and there are some songs that i find awesome on this album. Just platform blues for an exemple. Jonny greenwood harmonica, stephen's voice "à la" lou reed and this guitar work. Oh damn, I love this song so much.

[nilbog44]

@wevegotafileonyou terror twilight is your favorite pavement album? That makes me think you have never even listened to the others. I know it is a matter of opinon, but that is a ridiculous statement.
