Blitzen Trapper are fabuloso. Their song ‘Fur’ makes me well up like I am watching that movie about sled dogs by disney, what was it called, 8 Degrees below zero or something

Looking forward to Blitzen…..need info on how to study up for Malkmus, any help?

browneheather said: about 1 year ago

todd, that’s the best thing i’ve heard all day.

browneheather said: about 1 year ago

and i love that song too. although it’s never made me think of sled dogs.

Check out anything and everything Pavement – here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pavement_(band)

is a good place to start.

Also: The Fall, Pixies, Sonic Youth

and read “Love Is A Mixtape” for a visceral, emotional, awesome look inside the life of a Pavement fan. Here’s a bit of a quote from the book:
-———————————————————————————————————-
But Pavement was nothing at all like we pictured them. They were a bunch of foxy dudes, and they were into it. As soon as they hit the stage, you could hear all the girls in the crowd ovulate in unison. There were five or six of them up there, some banging on guitars, some just clapping their hands or singing along. They did not stare at the floor. They were there to make some noise and have some fun. They had fuzz and feedback and unironically beautiful sha-la-la melodies. The bassist looked just like Renee’s high school boyfriend. Stephen Malkmus leaned into the mike, furrowed his brows, and sang lyrics like, “I only really want you for your rock and roll” or “When I fuck you once it’s never enough / When I fuck you two times it’s always too much.” The songs were all either fast or sad, because all songs should either be fast or sad. Some of the fast ones were sad, too.

Afterward, we staggered to the parking lot in total silence. When we got to the car, Renee spoke up in a mournful voice: “I don’t think The Feelies are ever gonna be good enough again.”

listen to it on repeat for a couple of hours
i promise it will change your life more than once

Cause=Time said: about 1 year ago

oh , and blitzen trapper’s album does make me all fuzzy inside….
god and suicide deserves a bottle of maker’s and a pack of smokes….in that order

rowdyroddy said: about 1 year ago

great responses and no condescension! The Gigbot community should be proud, it’s not like that in other forums….Looks like I have a fun month of studying ahead of me. That first week of Nov is going to be killer with TVOTR, King Khan, Metallica (i know, i know), Stephen Malkmus or EODM then Grace Potter…

dannohodad said: about 1 year ago

you can listen to old pavement, but I’d say you need to check out the SM solo stuff for sure. I like it better actually. The new SM album is solid!

Blitzen Trapper is incredible. Hope I win!!!

troeth said: about 1 year ago

I think Blitzen Trapper should be asked to be in Barack Obama’s cabinet. They could be the secretary of AWESOMESS.

What a great show, and a great audience. Check out my review on The Denver Post’s Reverb: http://blogs.denverpost.com/reverb/2008/11/10/stephen-malkmus-the-jicks-the-gothic/

Great photos by Julio Enriquez, and a video of Jicks doing “I Heard it Through the Grapevine” at http://julioenriquez.blogspot.com/.

WOWEE ZOWEE!!!!!
