it's great, btw ...

how nice of you! happy holidays, friend!

classic

you know what was a killer pavement tune? 'robyn turned 26', from the grand royal groovebox comp a while back. it's like they decided to out-grand royal all the grand royal artists on their own album. brilliant.

I don't know if i've ever heard this song?

it is not very good
also, that blog has the *other* limited pave live lp up: http://theblackenedair.blogspot.com/2009/08/pavement-live-europaturnen-mcmxcvii.html
not as good as the first one, but pretty good!

also: so classic. slanted and enchanted just gets better as time goes on.

wait a minute, there are two diff live shows with the same title and cover? sorry, i am a little bleary, having just put my cat to sleep :(

yeah one came with the BtC reissue and one was released for record store day.

wow. that's diabolically great. the purple one doesn't seem to still be available on that blog site, i guess that's the better one that came with the pre-order cd

both are from the 1997 european tour. sorry about your cat.

maybe this works? http://chainedandperfumed.wordpress.com/2009/04/23/live-europaturnen-mcmxcvii-2/

got it. thanks so much

I don't know if i've ever heard this song?

it's pretty goofy. Malkmus white-boy-rapping over a drum machine, I don't think anyone from the band is on it.

kick it with the trustafarians, colorado college, are they sega or atarians

anyone ELSE from the band I meant. even though it's credited to pavement.

^^^ess-dog precursor?

and off came those awful toe rings

Terror Twilight > Wowee Zowee > Slanted and Enchanted > Brighten the Corners > Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain.

thx 4 da challops

i feel like they are going to hate each other by the time i see them.

yeah they probably should do more spiral songs to be safe

2 spiral songs is plenty

yes, more than enough. i'm hoping they're all pretty relaxed about the whole thing, just spending the year touring and getting paid, w/o all the baggage of being a "band" again.

yeah i hope they don't do anything too crazy like try to make a new record, hope they just enjoy playing their old songs

This is close to my dream Pavement set list. Now if we can just get them to add a couple from Watery Domestic....

Show/setlist tracker: http://home.comcast.net/~kguideau/pavement2010/

encoring with two late ones! good ones imo but still - weird to me they wouldn't save for example "rattled" for the encore

They actually ended the show with Conduit for Sale!, but it's cut off in the photo.

silence kit into range life is like such an awesome thing in my mind

yeah, man i'm looking forward to seeing them

Klosterman's GQ story.

Thank God for youtube.

if i'm paying to see this live i really don't need to watch a ton of poor qual youtubes months in advance, but maybe that's just me

I know I an a mere down-channel fashion flunky with a BS in Physics+MBA but if GQ/Klosterman ever need an editor, I did a little bit of copy-editing for my college radio program and can pitch in:

"But there are no airs in central California."

*winces*

ahhahahahaha ^^AM^^

this is only a preview. sheesh.

hey baby

it was an amazing show, thrilled that i was able to see them first. setlist is missing random rules (!), a very pleasant surprise

wow, they did "Random Rules"? nice!

I'd love to hear "We Dance" but I think I would absolutely DIE if they played "All My Friends" or "Fillmore Jive"

I mean, seriously, could you close a main set better than with "Fillmore Jive"?

I haven't been able to get interested in the Pavement reunion, probably because I saw them 3 times in the 90s and they were pretty awful all 3 times.

Kinda want to go to the show with the Clean supporting tho.

S-K sounds lost w/o pavemnt in that kloserman article; the last line is 100% malkmus

Great show in Tokyo last night. Loads of stuff from Enchanted.

Got my ticket for September in Broomfield ('burb of Denver)... own all their albums, so my bias is there: I like them.

hey, i'm going to the broomfield show, too! i'll be the 31-year-old guy w. a beard and glasses.

hey random question -- does anyone have a rip of the vinyl bonus trax from Brighten The Corners deluxe edition? In particular looking for that What Goes On cover ...
