Like all good indie pop, this song has a nice glaze of haze
For the record, Paul Verlaine is overrated, but Tom Verlaine is really awesome…
Stephen Malkmus is one of my musical idols, especially with Pavement. I never did think his solo work was quite up to those standards, but I really love this song. Kind of simple, but very heartfelt, which is saying something for one of indie rock’s most notorious smart-asses.
This is just plain fun… And Buck Owens and Don Rich were two great guitarists.
I think I shall start using this blogging space again real soon. Maybe after I get back from vacation in a few weeks. Maybe… Until then I give your his C.W. McCall classic :

The worst part (well, only bad thing) about the alt rock explosion of 1992 was ALL hair metal bands got the boot. Including those who weren’t hair metal at all.
