Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks<\/strong> are out on tour in support of their new album, “Mirror Ball.” <\/strong>Check them out below performing one of our all-time favorite Malkmus songs, Church on White<\/strong><\/em>, written by Malkmus (who attended nearby Cate School in Carpinteria)<\/strong> about a friend’s death over a decade ago.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Speaking of which, Man of Steele<\/strong>–R.I.P. <\/strong><\/em>Five years later and we still miss you, brother.<\/p>\n

“<\/strong><\/em>Bleed the pot
\nWhen you’re hot you’re hot
\nAnd when enough is enough
\nDo the fakers drop out?
\nPromise me
\nYou will always be
\nToo awake to be famous
\nToo wired to be safe
\nBut all you really wanted
\nWas everything
\nPlus everything
\nAnd the truth
\nI only poured you
\nHalf a life<\/p>\n

Carry on
\nIt’s a marathon
\nTake me off the list
\nI don’t want to be missed
\nCarrion
\nIts what we all become
\nFrom small minds and tall trees
\nAway from the action
\nBut all you ever wanted
\nWas everything
\nAnd everything
\nPlus the truth
\nI only poured you
\nHalf a life
\nHalf a life<\/p>\n

I only poured you half a lie”<\/p>\n
