Stephen Malkmus - Heaven is a Truck

This is a video of the opening of Malkmus' set at the Pitchfork Music Festival, July 15, 2007. His set was a good mix of his solo stuff with the Jicks and Pavement classics, mostly on solo acoustic guitar, with distortion pedals.

Bob joined him for a few songs at the end of his set.

I think it was GOLF. Heh.

He said, just before I started videoing, that he was sitting on the beach, wearing a pink shirt, playing an acoustic guitar, just like Jimmy Buffet, playing a lot of golf and plotting his set.

Hey, no problem. I love getting all this stuff on video. I'm not quite done yet, I still have more stuff from Sunday, and I haven't even begun with Saturday stuff, and I have to finish posting the rest of the SY set from Friday.

Fantastic! I like how he can't ever seem to make up his mind about the words to his own songs.
