Stephen Malkmus | Live Acoustic Set 

malkman's hair is consistent and reliable.

That version of Shiggy is so nice I think I might go for a walk now.

can’t name anything more musically satisfying than the nonchalance in his voice

There's no finer songwriter of the last 20 years. Thank you Stephen.

I dreamed today that i went to a Pavement concert. The Venue was empty and the stage resembled an scaffolding. Here started playing although no musician was there to be seen. Then they all appeared through different holes at the scaffolding's net and sat on an empty table on the floor. I also sat, right across Malkmus and they all looked happy and focused on the music coming through some speakers although none was playing. When the voice part came Stephen started nodding his head to the others as if asking them to start singing. Nobody did, so he started looking directly at me and i realized he was asking me to start singing. And i went for it, all in and felt such happiness as i realized i was nailing it that i just woke up.

Hearing Trigger Cut for the first time in a while is exactly what I needed. Lovely, lovely, lovely.

Such a unique, beautiful sometimes fragile voice. Played watery domestic in my sixth form common room when it came out and he's still just as vital and exciting.

I didn't think he could keep getting better, but he has. Very inspiring to see!! Added so much sweet value to my life through his music.

Freeze the Saints has been one of my favorites forever. I'm almost more excited to hear that than Trigger Cut. Done is good but done well is so much fucking better.

Malkmus is a songwriter's songwriter.

This set literally got rid of my hiccups. Love you Malkmus so much.

Middle America is so beautiful.

Sounds as good as he ever has. Malkmus still putting out tasty tasty jams

I must have seen this video 40 times, incredible performance

malkmus playing at a church. one thing i didn't know i needed

Captivating, brilliant songwriter. Still as cool as ever

Stephen Malkmus please do an album with Laetitia Sadier/Stereolab. This is something I have always wanted.

Malkmus acoustic is gold!

12-string trigger cut - hellz yeah

tricks are everything to me

Awesome thank you Pitchfork and Stephen Malkmus for sharing. Always Good to see and hear that guitar being played by such a Plucky Strummer. Drone Coma 4 Life and thats a long nap but so worth it

The Malkman delivers again, 25+ years and counting, no letdown.

so effortlessly cool. love it

I need a malkmus experimental industrial techno album

Mentor and muse, yet a boy within a man within a clever boy within a wise man. He always seems so sad, with an inside joke secret that keeps him happier than we know. This set was pure intimate splendor! The only thing better than it being acoustic, is if I was sitting against the wall, opposite those windows.

I love how he still sounds the same like he did 26 years ago 😍

I was lucky to see SM do a solo acoustic set outside at the Long Beach Museum (CA) around '96. I love Pavement, but this man by himself is just as memorable.

no words to say how great this is might equal for me the first time I listened to Pavement back what is it now 25 years or so what and 12 string requires fierce fingers

oh man Trigger cut at the end !!!! what thu what ! loved it so much .

25 years of your voice and not a day old

THANK YOU. Looking forward to the tour.

Chris Thile has done a great job in carrying on the franchise of one of the best 2 hour live radio broadcasts on the air today.

The Feels!...Such a great writer!...So good at taking You with him

Trigger Cut is my fav song ever

this dude is like a fine wine that continues to get better with age #guitargod #rockgod #altgod

Merci pour ce beau moment !

15:42 - Gothic Stephen. BTW 16:09 and this is the point where it starts to get SERIOUSLY beautiful..

Refute really is a song for the ages. Brilliant

Stephen should make an acoustic solo album. He’s such a good musician.

Gemville. Thank you Malk you are the goat

休日の起きがけ、まだ夢が半分混じってるくらいの曖昧な時に見ました 最高でした

I love how he counts himself in ;)

Freeze the saints, such a subtlety. A charm.

Fantastic followup to the Yo La Tengo session

Trigger Cut would sound good on any type of instrument. Great tune

Bonjour mes amis , merci pour cette magnifique Peel Session et magnifique artiste ,merci pour votre partage artistique musical ,mes amitiés ! Luis

My favorite video on RU-vid

Toujours aussi excellent!

Stephen knows all the cool chords. 😎

Kim Gordon is on the album version of Refute, can't wait to hear it!

This was rad! Thanks

been feeling musically uninspired all day. Just picked up my 12er and googled stephen malkmus acoustic to find this and he's got a 12er out. noice. Studying this vid for sure

ABSOLUTEEELY GREAT

Oh my lord, this made me cry so hard

Oh this is too good!!!

Alex chilten back frem the grave ! Joy 🤩

"that was pretty good" love it

Sounds so good.

0:32 SM has become Thom Yorke, wow

Solid silk is a real sweet song

wonderful god job wahoo brother fellow stephen greta stuff thanks pitchforks too

Yo, Malkmus, cool songs!!!

19:08 You go, malkman!!

I think I might prefer acoustic Shiggy. Those chords + on a 12 string are gorgeous and the contrast between acoustic and electronic interludes is cool. Wonder if that's relating to the rumoured electronic album

Love it Love it Love it

Bottom line, Malkmus rocks no matter what he's doing.

This was very good.

Holy crap so good

Absolutely insane

I need to play catch up on the Malkmus sound....now seems like a good time to do so.

This upcoming album is gonna be an all timer

Malkmus' pronunciation of 'feminine' rivals Andy Partridge's 'umbilical' for best arbitrary macron award

when it gets to trigger cut, i'm on the floor.

Arrogance meets insecurity. Stephen Malkmus... one of America's most brilliant guitarists. Even Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead has mad respect for Stephen Malkmus. Personally, I love his music.

Brilliant.

Met him in Portland after he played a tribute show to DCB. About 30 people there. Nice guy and the best American songwriter of the last 50 years

maravilhoso, ganhei meu dia

Shiggy Acoustic 👌

awesome !

An American Master.

Seeing him play makes me want to write better.... too good

I've heard more good tracks on this new album than all of Wigout - super happy about that - Middle America in particular -

those last 5 seconds with Malkmus walking down the stairs definitely caught me off guard, dude

Freeze the Saints!

That Gibson is a magical pack.

Waiting for that Ableton composed Kraut Loop Clip album.....

New Malkmus? Yes please. 12 string naturally reverberating with great sound production in a church? And minimal flubs?? Sure!

Ficou lindo 🙌🏻🇧🇷

Thanks

16:05 freeze the saints 19:11 trigger cut

"that was pretty good" amen

Tricks are everything to me

Pfffff Monstrueux !

Shalah lah lah lah is the most significant

Very badass

So SM of SM to put the electronic bits between songs with no mention of what they are. Hoping for a SM electronic album next.

Great songs and nice sneakers.

wow!

so much bong smoke in the air

Stephen Malkmus electronic album when!?!?!
