Backed hard..when I was younger, Stephen Malkmus was one of my absolute music loves. He still is I suppose, just doesn't rank as high haha. Slanted and Enchanted is such a bloody good album.
Slanted and Enchanted is the only album I can listen by them. I don't know what the deal is with their other stuff, I just can't get into it. Loretta's Scars is a great song.
