trail of dead easy

ya obv but I fear for ILM
― acoleuthic, Thursday, 10 February 2011 18:26 (thirteen years ago) link
Trail of Dead even though Source Tags and Codes sounds like Couch's Fantasy with superfluous vocals
I like reading too

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

i like the other stuff on that that sounds like archers of loaf

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
I thought Archers only had two albums...?

― I, Mr. Sneer Joy (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 10 February 2011 19:48 (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?)

i really love all the nation's airports (3rd studio) and the last studio (white trash heroes) is a p cool left-turn once you get used to it...
but man, if you don't have Vs. the Greatest of All Time and Speed of Cattle (2 ep comps) you are missing some classics of the early period!

1979Soma Mayonaise
Any of these 3 songs alone destroys Pavement's entire catalog.
― John Lennon, Friday, 11 February 2011 03:51 (thirteen years ago) link
those three songs aren't better than "loretta's scars," "unfair," "here," "stop breathin'," or "gold soundz"

I thought this was a good question because of
*Their stupid childish feud that really seems to only entail Corgan whining and Malkmus just kinda laughing back at him and sorta not taking it seriously..*I honestly don't know which of these 2 bands I like better. In my brain they seem pretty equal right now.*Chronologically they pretty much covered almost exactly the same span of years and what seems to be a fairly equal output of music.*Range Life*I was hoping something like what took place mid-thread would happen.

Those 3 songs are miles above Pavements catalog...holy shit. The closest Pavement ever got to being good was Stop Breathing, which is a well-written song that the band still couldn't pull off. Why were they so goddamned lazy?
