Song of the Day: "Range Life"

Any excuse to post this picture. Vote Tuesday.

The Thrills made an entire (pretty good) album of songs that tried really hard to sound like "Range Life." If pressed, that's the one statement I would make about the massive talent of Stephen Malkmus & Co.

Pavement was a band so full of ideas that one jangly, jokey attempt to make a country/bluegrass (or country/bluegrass-mocking) song could serve as a template for another band's entire album.

PS - "Range Life" is also a diss track. This is the expensively-educated rocker's way of saying, "Fuck the Smashing Pumpkins as a staff, record label, and a motherfucking crew."

And if you down with the Smashing Pumpkins, fuck you too.
