The former Pavement frontman talks Three Dog Night, smoking weed, and owning a racehorse
talks Three Dog Night, smoking weed, and owning a racehorse in the latest installment of “The First Time.”
Malkmus kicks off by describing the first song he ever wrote, “Psychopath,” comparing the key to Napoleon XIV’s “They’re Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa!” “It’s hard for a 12-year-old to be a psychopath,” he says. “I think the stats are really low on mass murders at age 12.” Malkmus can’t recall what his first concert was — either Elton John or Neil Diamond — but he does remember the first song he fell in love with: Three Dog Night’s “Joy to the World.” “I probably mentioned that before,” he notes. “You have to be really into me to know that I mentioned it.” He describes how it’s a kid’s rock song, even if it was performed by “twentysomething perverts.”frontman admits he’s never fallen in love with a guitar.
Elsewhere in the clip, Malkmus suspects that he doesn’t think he smoked weed until the ninth grade. “I don’t think I tried it in eighth grade, so I feel like that’s good.” He remembers owning a racehorse named Speedy Service with Bob Nastanovich in 1994. “He’s like,” he says about the Pavement percussionist, referring to the 2019 movie starring Adam Sandler. “He’s basically that guy.”
