http://www.chicagoreader.com/chicago/class-in-session/Content?oid=892764found this article while googling for pavement/ashbery info — too funny not to post
Many of the lyrics on this album sound like they were transcribed at the back of a town meeting somewhere in Connecticut, with talk about stiff upper lips, visas, voice coaches, limousines, perfectly prepared roasts, wedding invitations, and so on. You almost expect to get a note from Malkmus--within three days of course--thanking you for buying the record.

All this talk about lyrics reminds me once again how lyrics generally don't matter unless you already like the music, and sometimes not even then. I can't remember past "cool kids never had the time" or any of the choruses for smashing pumpkins songs.
I think pavement bros are mostly the same kind of people that have a much higher opinion of lyrics than me (whether they *truly* care for pavement lyrics or not). It has something to do with how most pavement bros just happen to be some sort of literary geeks for whatever odd reason.
Maybe I'm guessing too wildly here but I like this (self created) stereotype because I consider a lot of ILM bros to be book-minded people. I mean, why would anyone read Pitchfork for any other reason than liking to read things about music? Pitchfork scores and their top picks are likely turn everyone off except for lyric/book-minded nerds. Again, this is just a wild accusation based on my wild stereotyping.

this is not how I listen to music, sorry.

so in my case maybe your stereotype is correct lol

ya obv but I fear for ILM

Trail of Dead even though Source Tags and Codes sounds like Couch's Fantasy with superfluous vocals
I like reading too
― kkvbgz (Drugs A. Money), Thursday, 10 February 2011 18:26 (thirteen years ago) link
The National is a bad analogue for Pavement, tbh. Vampire Weekend is a better one. Maybe. IDK. ffs.

Spoon?
nah Spoon are all clean edges and crispness and subtle production

Spoon works just fine...
― kkvbgz (Drugs A. Money), Thursday, 10 February 2011 18:30 (thirteen years ago) link
maybe you should do that poll (National vs. ...AYWKUBTTOD) just so that I can know for sure whether I need to fear for ILM
― homeless romantic (CaptainLorax), Thursday, 10 February 2011 18:31 (thirteen years ago) link
I don't see any similarities between Spoon and Pavement, sorry. VW has the patrician/preppie thing but well, Pavement were never interested in African music

which archers of loaf are you thinking of here?(didn't ppl used to compare them to pavement a lot? they actually did kinda sound like them on the first album, but much less so on the subsequent ones)
― there is a lout that never goes "aight" (bernard snowy), Thursday, 10 February 2011 19:46 (thirteen years ago) link

that song sounds like pavement, no particular archers just some of their guitar work on the early stuff reminds me of archers in general (obv the vocalists are way diff)

no! they had 4 studio albums, 2 EP/collections of odds and sods (actually as awesome as the studio albums, and 2 live albums

I do think m@tt is right; at heart Pavement is bro music, and I think that a lot of the schmindie they ushered in is bro music too...which makes me wonder why I dislike it so much. I do know that most of the guys I would call 'bros' irl would much rather listen to Pumpkins then Anco or Pavement or Spoon or LCD or anything like that...
(hey Louis what about LCD?)
