Ha, so Bob is suggesting that the Pavement reunion should have three drummers? Uhhh. Anyway, this is probably inevitable, since they've all been "game" since the band broke up! I assume all it would take is a phone call from Malkmus.

My favorite description of them is still from GQ's 1992 year end list: "The Knack meets Sonic Youth"

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.

it is not very goodalso, that blog has the *other* limited pave live lp up: http://theblackenedair.blogspot.com/2009/08/pavement-live-europaturnen-mcmxcvii.htmlnot as good as the first one, but pretty good!
― tylerw, Thursday, 10 December 2009 19:16 (fourteen years ago) link
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 :(
― iago g., Thursday, 10 December 2009 19:30 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah one came with the BtC reissue and one was released for record store day.
― mizzell, Thursday, 10 December 2009 19:32 (fourteen years ago) link
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
― iago g., Thursday, 10 December 2009 19:34 (fourteen years ago) link
both are from the 1997 european tour. sorry about your cat.

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
― dmr, Thursday, 10 December 2009 20:53 (fourteen years ago) link
anyone ELSE from the band I meant. even though it's credited to pavement.

i feel like they are going to hate each other by the time i see them.
― mizzell, Monday, 1 March 2010 22:44 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah they probably should do more spiral songs to be safe
― sonderangerbot, Monday, 1 March 2010 22:46 (fourteen years ago) link
2 spiral songs is plenty
― Mr. Que, Monday, 1 March 2010 22:48 (fourteen years ago) link
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.
― tylerw, Monday, 1 March 2010 22:50 (fourteen years ago) link
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....

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.

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."

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!
― tylerw, Tuesday, 2 March 2010 15:24 (fourteen years ago) link
I'd love to hear "We Dance" but I think I would absolutely DIE if they played "All My Friends" or "Fillmore Jive"
― This object perpetually attempts to sell itself on eBay. (Stevie D), Tuesday, 2 March 2010 15:29 (fourteen years ago) link
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.
