It's cool to hear, it does reveal little things here and there, but I don't think I'll return to it. Very much sounds like they reset the mixing board to 0, but then didn't do anything apart from panning (not counting the edits etc.)
Super flat drums render it all a bit lifeless.

Finally nabbed this on vinyl, and a big fan after letting it sink in this weekend. Some really ace songwriting and playing here, production is lovely. Winner, all told.

Love the 'waitin on a friend' vibes from this

New Steve Malkmus, Matt Sweeney, Emmet Kelly and Jim White combo.
1st single was fine, but just sounded like the Jicks, but the album is a hell of a pleasant surprise, Sweeney and Kelly can't really sing, but there's an endearing charm to it all. A good time.

I dunno, when I find out someone is a creep, I can't listen anymore.

Ooer. I quite enjoyed the Beatles remixes, and have no quibbles with great records being remixed to re...

He seems like a decent, open-minded chap, but the minute I saw that 5th string on this bass.... we can't be friends

Saw Shellac many, many times but was never lucky enough to meet Steve. Closest I got was when some friends recorded with him circa 2001 and I found out he was appalled by my own bands name ;) I remember getting a tape with 'Histoire de Melody Nelson' by Serge Gainsbourg on one side, and 'Songs about...
