(TV) Stephen Malkamus

[AndrewMFC@aol.com]

Is anyone a fan of Pavement?
I heard a song from the new Steve Malkamus solo record recently and was struck by how much of a TV influence I heard.  Evidently Steve is paying more attention to his guitar playing on this record and the song "Church on White" sounds, to my ears like something Tom might play -- a terrific guitar solo that ends far too soon.  While I loved "Slanted and Enchanted" I was never that big a Pavement fan after that because it seemed to me as though they weren't really trying, always hiding behind the iron(y) curtain, and that drove me crazy.  I've always struggled like all hell to squeeze every drop from the single gram of talent I have and here was a guy who had loads of talent but seemingly couldn't be arsed.  Or am I just jealous?
