After being crazy in love with Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks' song "Senator" I decided to go see them play for free at one of my favorite places to shop, Amoeba Music in Hollywood. Thanks to my good friend Theo, My friends and I got into the VIP section, which basically means we got to go straight to the front. The band goes on soon after starting with the first track off of their record "Tigers" an almost straight out pop song. They then commence to play songs like "Forever 28" which Stephen called, "A live favorite," (The song never being played before made this comment amusing) They played a few other songs and a clean version of "Senator" where the lyrics are "I know what the senator wants/ What the senator wants is a corndog." The set was good, but I wish it was longer. After their set they did a signing and I crawled back under my rock waiting for new shows to come up.
