In the spirit of billy corgan, I am lobbying that he win all of his band mates' polls.

Stumbled upon the Tweedy episode of Austin City Limits this morn and thought of this thread. Now there's a Robin who left his Batman in the dust.

Farrar collaborated with Ben Gibbard (of the indie rock band Death Cab for Cutie) to create all of the music for the soundtrack for the 2009 documentary film One Fast Move or I'm Gone, about Jack Kerouac's time spent at Big Sur. The soundtrack was released on October 20, 2009.[1]

i saw tweedy solo this year and he was awful, played the new record front to back and then butchered some wilco songs. voice was shot. horrible sound. farting fat insurance salesmen literally weeping the words to "i am trying to break your heart."

He was probably the same wise-ass I saw at the Wilco show in 2003 who kept yelling "CHICKAMAUGA!" between songs.

I thought SS played a bigger part in pavement in the Slanted era, no? Was it really just SM that made all those cool sounds ? Couldn't be. There are two guitar parts there...

more Pavement b-side goodness from Spiral:

Iha is cool and a Soma co-write means the world to 17-year-old me. As for Spiral, this is pretty spot on:
SS had three really good-to-great Pavement songs: Kennel District, Date w/ Ikea and Painted Soldiers.
The rest of his stuff ranges from sketchy to pretty OK, but certainly reveals his limited range as a songwriter.
But, I mean ... Kennel District. I don't know if it's the BEST song on WZ, but it's right there. It's probably my favorite.
Plus, wasn't it Scott who essentially shepherded the reissues and the reunion tour? If not for him, we might have none of it (the reunion show I saw was fucking terrific). If nothing else, he wins this poll for that.

Probably my first descent into posting on a messageboard regularly was the old pavement disc.server forum back in the late 90s. Always wonder what happened to one of the posters on there, Western Homes.

dunno if we're talking about the same thing but the old Pavement email list that started out of Stanford was definitely a formative thing in my life

In his 1993 book, "Assembling California", describing the geology of the state, John McPhee, begins at Mussel Rock. According to McPhee, "Mussel Rock is a horse. As any geologist will tell you, a horse is a displaced rock mass that has been caught between the walls of a fault. This one appears to have got away....Green seas slammed against it and turned white. It was not a small rock. It was like a three-story building,standing in the Pacific, with brown pelicans on the roof....After a five hundred-mile northwesterly drift through southern and central California, this was where the San Andreas Fault intersected the sea."[1]
