Section.80 (3)
untitled. unmastered. (2)

Feels like a good flow, hugely energetic first 20 minutes before it starts to tap into the more serious / scary side, huge conclusion to the main set, a full Mortal Man including video of the Tupac interview, then Kendrick reading the poem with the stadium cutting to darkness after the final "PAC?!" and then Never Catch Me to bring the whole theme of death full circle, with wacky visuals and strobe lighting so it feels like a natural progression rather than taped on to the end of the set. Full horn section doing The Spiteful Chant then the slew of slower megahits from GKMC followed by the guitar-led Pride which leads itself well into i, which closes the first encore. Then just a banging, really upbeat and positive second encore, with the crowd starting off Alright with the chant. reckon this would be pretty dope.

Laz, have you heard the new Stephen Malkmus yet?

Yes, I'm enjoying it. I don't know if it's any kind of leap forward from Jagbags in terms of overall consistency or number of great tracks. It's a little more polished, and closer to Mirror Traffic in that regard.

I'm also not getting Middle America as some kind of new SM classic. Not even close.

Standouts for me at the moment are Kite (sadly the only real guitar solo on the album), Shiggy, Bike Lane, Future Suite, and Difficulties/Let Them Eat Vowels.

Kim Gordon can't sing country.

If I had to:

1. Real Emotional Trash
2. Pig Lib

3. S/T
4. Wig Out At Jagbags

5. Sparkle Hard
6. Mirror Traffic/Face the Truth

Keep in mind I still consider those last two to be good albums.

I would adore that Kendrick set, Cobbs, but the long run of tracks from Untitled 5 to How Much a Dollar Cost would bore the fuck out of most audiences. Huge momentum killer there, as great as those songs are. I think part of the issue is that there are too many bangers too early; Humble and Maad City could be used to boost energy later in the set. Rigamortis seems like a great encore opener, so I would shift that up a bit. Otherwise, definitely looks good. I love the idea of Kendrick doing Never Catch Me.

Also, Sparkle Hard is much better than Jagbags IMO.

I am disappointed in Laz's opinion. Sparkle Hard is probably my favorite thing Malkmus has done since Pavement.

Yeah that's my main concern with it too but I mean surely it would still be captivating for the big music fans? Or do you think the vibe goes down too much?

I mean Outkast were doing Storyellin / Aquemini / SpottieOttie which is kind of similarish...

Gosh Em (my partner) is a wonder. She bought me the super uber mega deluxe JT box set for my birthday. She even went through this forum to find the thread about it in EYKIW and see what I'd said about it before she bought it

Christ I'm surprised she's still with you after wading into this cesspit.

"Why do they keep saying 'Friggin Cobbler' and 'Donko'?"

She told me to link her to my post, then she said: "cilantro lovers ew say coriander you yank fucks"

It's probably my favourite since Wowee Zowee

Tell her you were on Smoko when the thread was made and also it wasn't a seppo who made it, but a seppo's (non 42) hat.

Yeah I'm not sure anyone is clamoring for an alternate mix of Never Let Me Down.

"Feelsposting"??

This is the kind of shit that has put me off listening to Sufjan, as well as wanting to kick his fans in the shin.

"guy named Daniel"

Cobbs, your girlfriend won't be happy when she hears about this.

 

[Hewson]

That horse became a 10 once "Daniel" had his Foster's goggles on.

"Feelsposting"??

.

Maybe the most millennial word I've ever seen.

You mean she’s still with you even though you had no idea that a pickle is a cucumber?

 

[cobl04]

Bomac, I have literally given her hundreds of reasons infinitely worse than that to dump my sorry arse. Still with me!!
