The myth is that Pavement came out of central California. Malkmus only lived there sporadically during summer/holiday breaks from 1983 on (boarding school in Carpenteria before getting expelled, then Charlottesville, VA). He had been living in New York (with future Pavement member Bob Nasty and then-bandmate DC Berman) by the time the first single Slay Tracks was released.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Voted Corgan. Weirdo freakshow over Portland hipster in a rock band. Also, Zero will never not be amazing to sing along to in a car. As much as I think Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain album is as close to a perfect album as a rock band should hope for, singing "Emptiness is loneliness/ and loneliness is cleanliness/and cleanliness and godliness/ and God is Empty, just like Me" will be a joy that will amuse me well into my 70s.

The right guy won.

This is one of the biggest votecounts I've ever seen in an ILM poll. Not sure how I feel about that.
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Friday, 31 October 2014 01:13 (nine years ago) link
perfect.

malky got exactly 3 times more votes than corgy :(
― ET sippin the wig (spazzmatazz), Friday, 31 October 2014 05:36 (nine years ago) link
plus 2
Do we even have 130 active users on this forum?
Malkmus had it way to easy. Corgan would even lose in a favorite member of the SP poll.

Too easy*

"Destroy the mind, destroy the body, but you cannot destroy the heart."
FWIW, I think this is the best lyric BC ever wrote. it'd be cool to see what y'all think is SM's best line.
― ET sippin the wig (spazzmatazz), Friday, 31 October 2014 18:47 (nine years ago) link
probably my fave Malkmus lyric is from "I owned Corgan in that ILX poll / I'm not from Portland I'm from Charlottes-vee-ole"
― The Complainte of Ray Tabano, Friday, 31 October 2014 19:06 (nine years ago) link
while yes, corgan got less than a quarter of the votes, i think he should be very flattered 38 people here love him more than malkmus
― da croupier, Friday, 31 October 2014 19:07 (nine years ago) link
woops, 32.
― da croupier, Friday, 31 October 2014 19:08 (nine years ago) link
every one of those votes was from the heart. all the pro-malkmus votes were ironic.

there is not a person that doesn't have an opinion about this, is the point.
― Badmotorfinger Debate Club (MFB), Friday, 31 October 2014 20:32 (nine years ago) link
We should have a favorite member of the Smashing Pumpkins poll. I honestly don't think Corgan could even win that.
― Moka, Friday, 31 October 2014 20:34 (nine years ago) link
Moka: DO IT!

Ok. But there are three options for the poll:
Original members which would be - Iha, Corgan, D'Arcy and Chamberlin only. All album members: Billy Corgan, Jeff Schroeder. James Iha, D'arcy Wretzky, Jimmy Chamberlin, Melissa Auf der Maur, Mike Byrne, Nicole Fiorentino.All album members + touring members.
I think I'll go for the second option.
― Moka, Friday, 31 October 2014 20:41 (nine years ago) link
don't forget Tommy Lee lol
― example (crüt), Friday, 31 October 2014 20:42 (nine years ago) link
which one's the teenager that won that contest I vote for them
― Οὖτις, Friday, 31 October 2014 20:44 (nine years ago) link
Yeah, agreed on the second option. Jonathan Melvoin rip :-/
