Your original post:
You didn't specify anything about Brighten The Corners until your subsequent post.
From Perfect Sound Forever:
CROOKED RAIN
"I flew out to New York for almost a month," says Kannberg, "and we did the record and mixed it. Mark was there every day and he played bass on a bunch of songs"
WOWEE ZOWEE
Malkmus decided that since they played together for a solid eighteen months they should try, for the first time, to record an album as a band rather than in the splintered manner used before.
Nevertheless, according to Steve West, the quintet were really feeling like a band as they started work. "I think it was, for me, a culmination of touring"
It was the first time Nastanovich had fully participated in an album session, and he enjoyed the experience. "I was in the far corner of the room in a booth with my drums and my Moog"
If you're going to make exaggerated claims, back it up with some legit evidence, not "I read on some Jicks internet forum" bullshit.
I don't really care if you believe me or not, but since you did the frankly insane thing and found and typed up a bunch of quotes I took five minutes of my day and did the same for you. I'm pretty sure that there's stuff in the 33/3 book about Malkmus playing most of the instruments. It's actually a well known fact that he was a Corgan/Shields type in the studio.
SM: That was our most band-oriented album. Everyone played more instruments, and like, Bob Nastanovich double-drummed on a couple songs. Mark [Ibold] played bass on almost all the songs. The ones before that were a little more controlled by me, and Scott [Kannberg] to a lesser extent, in terms of the songs and playing on the records.

steve told me that malk would, at least with "his" songs, often play all of the guitar parts and the bass, so most of what you hear on pavement records CRCR and after is just steve west and stephen malkmus. maybe the next time i see steve i'll ask him if he remembers who played on
"rattled by the rush" but i cannot answer that question for you.
