"Stop Breathin" is Malkmus' masterpiece imo. incredible song

lyrics of "tales of scorched earth" make a real case for malkmus
― emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Wednesday, 15 October 2014 18:43 (nine years ago) link
"scorched earth" is an apt description for Corgan's vocals

I'd maybe go for "Wicked Wanda" as the finest Malkmus.

some real Brazilian nuts in Malkmus' lyrics

I never got into Pavement until after they broke up but I did see them live twice and was shocked that they weren't awful because everyone always said they were uncaring slackers who couldn't actually play anything. I loved Smashing Pumpkins when they were around but never saw them live which is kind of a major regret.
Nowadays I'll listen to any Pavement record or b-side or lost track but as far as I'm concerned there are only 2 Smashing Pumpkins records (three if you count Pieces Iscariot).

another signature Corgan song - distills a lot of his essence in three minutes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkgML3AJZ28
I fear that I am ordinary, just like everyoneTo lie here and die among the sorrowsAdrift among the daysFor everything I ever saidAnd everything I've ever done is gone and deadAs all things must surely have to endAnd great loves will one day have to partI know that I am meant for this world
My life has been extraordinaryBlessed and cursed and wonTime heals but I'm forever brokenBy and by the way...Have you ever heard the wordsI'm singing in these songs?It's for the girl I've loved all alongCan a taste of love be so wrong?As all things must surely have to endAnd great loves will one day have to partI know that I am meant for this world
And in my mind as I was floatingFar above the cloudsSome children laughed I'd fall for certainFor thinking that I'd live Forever
But I knew exactly where I wasAnd I knew the meaning of it allAnd I knew the distance to the sunAnd I knew the echo that is loveAnd I knew the secrets in your spiresAnd I knew the emptiness of youthAnd I knew the solitude of heartsAnd I knew the murmurs of the soul
And the world is drawn into your handsAnd the world is etched upon your heartAnd the world so hard to understandIs the world your can't live without
And I knew the silence of the world

Muzzle remains one of the best songs he's ever written imho.

he's making fun of his nonsense in that song, while having this weight- the feeling is close to "well, everything's gonna be alright in the end, ashes to ashes, dust to dust"

You can't really scream to Pavement.

yeah but it's ironic falsetto screaming, not the core/heart scream

the bunnymen scream

What the hell are you talking about. Nothing more core/heart scream than I'M TRYIN' I'M TRYIN' I'M TRYIN

While my kids pull off that nasal "I-really-mean-it-so-I'm-gonna-repeat-the-line-like-NAAAAAAAAA" thing Corgan does much better.
― pplains, Thursday, 16 October 2014 17:57 (nine years ago) link
I like Pavement a fair amount, but not so much those moments. His comical high screech.
Anyway, my point was more that there's something earnest and emotional in Smashing Pumpkins that I don't get from Pavement and this is where my sympathies these days tend to lie.
(Alternate post: Malkmus couldn't really scream to Pavement either.)
― jmm, Thursday, 16 October 2014 18:12 (nine years ago) link
There's a song on his solo debut where he does a crazy high scream.

I'm not trying to dogpile on you all or be obtuse about this, but I feel like this argument is going toward "Greeting cards that say 'I love you, I miss you, I am alone' are more earnest than Raymond Carver stories which never even say those things."

Adore is fantastic, and the closest Corgan has ever come to making music that sounds like it was written by a fully-formed human. (I say this as a pretty massive SP fan.)

Whoa at that Lockdown Wrestling promo. I wish I hadn't seen that, couldn't stop cringing. That settles it, then, my vote goes to Malkmus.

These two, though. They're a strong case for why aging sucks.
