Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks
Cinnamon and Lesbians
Shanghaied in Oregon
Cinnamon and lesbians
The power lines revolt in time
I’ve been tripping my face off since breakfast
Taking in this windswept afternoon
Onward ye Christian sailors
You smooth-talking jack-off jailers
A one-stop shoplifter’s narrow convenience
Life should be free
Take what you need
Raised in a numbers trailer
With grass-blowing funky neighbors
Come downtown cause we’ve got a cure for your head lice
We’ll do it for free
Love it or leave
Pretty much danced our arse’s off last time Malkmus and Jicks played the High Noon- me and the lovely. Going to truely miss Janet banging drums but no matter… love the new album and can’t wait to see some of it performed live in such a great local setting. Groove’n and gyrate;n at the High Noon.
would love to go!
Easy, this first part from Jo Jo’s Jacket -what a great and strange opening:
I’m not what you think I am
I’m the king of Siam
I’ve got a bald head
My name is Yul Brynner
And I am a famous movie star
Perhaps you saw me in Westworld
I acted like a robotic cowboy
It was my best role
I can not deny I
Felt right home deep inside
That electronic carcass
Freeze The Saints
“You said, ‘done is good,’
But done well is so much fucking better
Share the wealth
And cauterize the tears
If you want to know
Well you are, yes you are so much like me
Freeze the saints
Such a subtle read, exquisite pedigree
Just let yourself be and languish here
Help me languish here”
I love Malkmus! From his stream-of-consciousness lyrics to how he weaves his spontaneous jams into his live material. He’s just so damn jazzy!
“Smoking weed in our truck
The cops pull up
How can they not know?
It was so so so so so so invisible
Heavy heavy heavy heavy heavy smelter
Fuck it!”
From “Senator” . You can’t get much better than a song with a chorus about blow Js….
Easy, the entire song: 1% of One
Blind son man from Netherlands, he knew not what bands he mixed
They sounded a bit like a zephyr and a bit like the jicks
He craned his neck over the desk waiting for something to ride
And you weren’t there to feed him air the second that moment arrived
1% of one is 1% of one is one
The band became a picture frame surrounding the vision he dreamt
Walls are walking round in squares dividing your room as they will
And there my friend the story ends short though I know it may be
The band swished into a tune and the walls were walking tall
1% of one is 1% of one is one
free tickets? this would be awesome. right around my gf’s bday. help me be cheap!!
From “The Senator”: “I know what the Senator wants / What the Senator wants is a blow job.”
“run from the pigs, the fuzz, the cops, the heat / pass me your gloves there’s crime and it’s never complete / until you snort it up or shoot it down / you’re never gonna feel free” wigs me out every time
Advertising looks and chops a must
No big hair!
Songs mean a lot
When songs are bought
from Cut Your Hair
Jenny and the Ess-Dog:
See those rings on her toes Check that frisbee in his Volvo
It’s a Volvo with ancient plates
They’ve got a dog she named Trey
A retriever with a frayed bandana around his neck
Trey has a window into their relationship
The baby talk voices
And the post class-a nasal drip
A love like oxygen, so foxy then so terrific now
On a jape I’m returning
Bobby spinning out
I was so messed up
You were drunk and high
Just a rambling wreck
Coming off the breaks to see what was shaking
