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^^

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 ...

What goes on in your mind/I gotta love my baby from behind

Damn, that's a pretty fantastic cover!

is it on that page? i'm just getting a blank page ...

Really? Erm, check yr mail in a minute.

that what goes on cover is so horrible... ugh.

what's so horrible about it? love the droney synth backdrop for one.

heyo, thanks, willem! i liked this version when i heard it way back when ... not the band's finest hour or anything, but fun.

fun's definitely a big part of the appeal, but not just that. well, maybe being very tired/lack of sleep helps as well :)

isn't the version on the btc vinyl reish the one from kcrw, and not this version?

btc deluxe version is from kcrw yeah ... wish i could get it w/o buying an absurdly priced vinyl box set! it really isn't available for sale digitally anywhere?

Saw them in Glasgow tonight - pleasantly surprised by how excellent it was. Only rough spots were S&E cuts...not enough treble.

What was setlist? I'll be seeing them in....................................................................................................September.

Pretty much just most of Quarantine

Oh, and Silence Kit and Kennel District. Those didn't make it onto QTP did they

Great gig in Dublin the other night.

Classic. I'm fairly seriously blown away by the Jicks project too. Sweet acid fried guitar swirls there.

just heard a rumor that Beck is producing the new Jicks album? weird. don't really believe it.
