the thunderstorm was an awesome touch imo and the sky turned this weird ass green color for the majority of the show
yeah! it was super weird out which made it fun.

that makes sense because man did he mail in the vocal on ikea. worst part of the show because i actually like that song.

he drummed on most of wowee zowee including kennel district iirc.

oh yeah i knew he did some drumming on record it's just funny to see him sling his guitar across his back and pound out a few bars from the wrong side of the kit
― kellspolaris (k3vin k.), Saturday, 25 September 2010 01:35 (thirteen years ago) link
great show tonight--very good setlist. i definitely got the feeling we wouldn't be seeing them again, so it seemed poignant too

Enjoyed SFJ's critique in the New Yorker. He dates their decline too early for my liking - just after Slanted and Enchanted and Gary Young's departure - and the Cobain-suicide link is a bit of stretch but I agree with his general gist. Explains why my interest tailed off after Crooked Rain.

If Pavement’s songs were the air-conditioned stacks at the main library, Nirvana’s were the fight behind the bleachers: one set of problems was theoretical and subject to will; the other was entirely real and unmanageable.

Sasha Frere-Jones too often feels to me like rock music writing for people who don’t like rock music, or any other kind of music that ends up rocking.

I have this 45 of (I think) radio performances from around Wowee Zowee. One of the songs is "Brink of the Clouds/Candyland" (cuz it has that "orange! black! orange! black!" refrain). It has a black and white cover that looks like hand-drawn graph paper. I converted this to MP3 but I have no idea what the other songs are or what it's called or even where it's from.
anybody got any ideas?
it is not the Rattled By La Rush single

What have you been up to since the tour wrapped?I'm trying to piece together employment opportunities for next year in the horse racing industry. I had a bunch of jobs, mostly here in Iowa, before I went on tour last year and I'm trying to get them back. I'm also pretty excited that in a few weeks I'm going to go to Las Vegas and start working for the Daily Racing Form, doing videos for their website. They're going to have me go to major racing events, interview people, and try to make it different than a regular sports show. Hopefully, we'll be able to pull off something entertaining and make it onto TV someday.

i was watching the "Slow Century" doc a few nights ago and it made me kinda sad.
one of the best bands ever
― hackshaw, Thursday, 30 October 2014 22:03 (nine years ago) link
is Pavement one of those bands that has zero appeal outside of the generation that experienced their initial popularity? I mean I like this stuff a lot but when I revisit it the inscrutable in-jokey lyrics and tossed off guitar noise make them seem like something that would be largely incomprehensible/not worth investigating to people who didn't cut their teeth on 90s indie rock. It reminds me of 80s hair metal, where it's popularity is very limited to a subset of people who were teens in the 80s.
― Οὖτις, Monday, 13 April 2015 22:01 (nine years ago) link
oh i dunno hair metal brought us plenty of enduring pop hits
i'm sure there are plenty of millenials who dig pavement but if someone is doing the semi-annual "pavement sucks" meltdown my only response is "ya had to be there, man..."
― da croupier, Monday, 13 April 2015 22:12 (nine years ago) link
there's a few ("Pour Some Sugar On Me" springs to mind) but if you look at the crowds at Motley Crue or Poison shows or whatever, it's all just the people who were there the first time around.
― Οὖτις, Monday, 13 April 2015 22:15 (nine years ago) link
anyway this thread is not about that, don't distract me!
as opposed to the wide variety of people at any other 80s act's concerts?
― da croupier, Monday, 13 April 2015 22:15 (nine years ago) link
"80s act" is a very broad set of people, so yes
― Οὖτις, Monday, 13 April 2015 22:17 (nine years ago) link
well i don't go to motley crue concerts or concerts of any other 80s acts so i bow to your experience re: the demographics that can be found
― da croupier, Monday, 13 April 2015 22:18 (nine years ago) link
oh wait i did see the feelies. i was on the young end.
― da croupier, Monday, 13 April 2015 22:19 (nine years ago) link
my point was some acts transcend their initial popularity and appeal to other generations - certainly plenty of boomer acts did this, the huge 80s acts (Prince, MJ, Springsteen, Madonna), etc. Pavement not so much.
― Οὖτις, Monday, 13 April 2015 22:20 (nine years ago) link
yes the bigger the star, the more people from future generations know about them. pavement was always at a disadvantage compared to say, madonna.
i mean, i wouldn't necessarily pin pavement-digging on a generational wavelength. the most uptight people regarding their popularity tend to be people who hated them from the get-go.
― da croupier, Monday, 13 April 2015 22:22 (nine years ago) link

also pavement was only a going concern IN the 90s, all those acts you mention were on the pop charts for 2 decades plus.
― da croupier, Monday, 13 April 2015 22:23 (nine years ago) link
"Cut Your Hair" wasn't "Open Your Heart" or "When Doves Cry."
