No More Shoes

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us


I'm finding Stephen Malkmus' latest album to be pretty entertaining. It's the usual hit and miss collection of sun kissed stoner rock, with sideways looks at new wave, disco and even a wee bit of synth-y pop. I have enjoyed all of the Malkmus records to a certain degree - ditto with Pavement. I really like this track - No More Shoes. It's a 7 or 8 minute guitar-spazz jam, featuring some great Steely Dan moments - the guitar solos are pure early '70s Dan, and even the title sounds like a Dan song. In my head I see Jeff "Skunk" Baxter rocking Malkmus' face off in the studio. Sweet, dude.
