Stephen Malkmus Discusses Pavement, Urban Dictionary on Fox News
On the word “Jick”: “It’s somewhere between a jerk and a dick.”
On whether he should have shared in any awards Cate Blanchett received for miming to his voice in I’m Not There: “I think we should have had to split it, I would have had to take maybe take the base of the award. Or we just melt down the gold, what with the price of gold these days…”
On the length of the title track: “[In] classical music things go on forever, I mean this is kind of a short song for Bach…Far be it for me to compare myself to Bach, but why not?”
On Blender declaring Slanted & Enchanted the best Indie Rock album of all time: “I mean I’m glad, it’s nice to be in there, but who is Blender to say this, though?”
