Glorious Noise : Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks Coalesce as Rock Band (a new album in march and a tour !)

I once wrote a song about Stephen Malkmus and gave a tape of it to a roadie at a Pavement show. « Will you give this to Stephen? » I asked. The roadie looked at me kindly, like he must have looked at all the Stephen maniacs, and said, « I’ll make sure he gets it. »

Years later, Malkmus said in an interview that ‘kids’ sometimes gave him tapes with songs about him: « They go, ‘Steve Malkmus! Steve Malkmus!’ Stuff like that. »

Well, my lyrics were much better than that.
