sounds like maybe it is a bootleg of a peel session from 94 or so?

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
those acts had hits!

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."

I guess this revive is my way of wondering what non-Gen X Pavement fans make of Pavement, because to me they seem so inextricably tied to a particular era and its attending cultural concerns/baggage that I would think they require a lot of "explanation" for their output to make any sense at all
― Οὖτις, Monday, 13 April 2015 22:30 (nine years ago) link
The kids at the college station know them well. They haven't disappeared from that demographic.

yeah i'm such a crank about modern indie that i can't imagine pavement's deficits even make these little shits radar
― da croupier, Monday, 13 April 2015 22:37 (nine years ago) link
if anything it's people my age checking out pavement after years of mild awareness that i can see being all "really? you nerds were making me feel bad about not being up with THIS?!"

an entire generation of aughts kids got raised on Pavement. they broke up in what... 2001? 2002? everyone was discovering those records afterwards. they soundtracked my highschool experience
so your point is wrong or maybe i'm just in the minority.
― hackshaw, Monday, 13 April 2015 23:42 (nine years ago) link
weirdo kids in their early 20s like pavement ime
idk anyone under 25 that like gbv tho fwiw
― no (Lamp), Monday, 13 April 2015 23:45 (nine years ago) link
they broke up in 1999
i'm sure pitchfork's unending approval of their catalog had something to do with the fact that they remained such cult favorites into the 2000s. i mean they were never selling records or TV spots

― difficult listening hour, Monday, 13 April 2015 23:49 (nine years ago) link
every flimsy aughts indie band bared at least a little bit of their influence. Broken Social Scene, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah etc. it was huge talking point and a shared interest among friends
if you liked Pavement, we had something in common.
i'm 22 as well and this was happening in 2006 or 2007
― hackshaw, Monday, 13 April 2015 23:50 (nine years ago) link
There was really no time for Pavement to go away, because Matador starting releasing deluxe anniversary editions of their albums in 2002 and continued on until 2008 until the only one left was Terror Twilight, which they didn't bother with.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 13 April 2015 23:51 (nine years ago) link
Pavement's the one band I adored that I can barely listen to now. I can't even listen to the Parquet Courts album that lots of people liked last year: the sloppy mamacita ethos.
― The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 13 April 2015 23:52 (nine years ago) link
huge nostalgia over the nineties is making sure some twenty/mid twenties persons are into Pavement. Once you get to know pitchfork, the pixies reunion tour and twin peaks, Pavement is really just a stone throw away.
xp and yeah the box sets have been pretty good at capturing the feeling of the era and why Pavement mattered.
― Van Horn Street, Monday, 13 April 2015 23:55 (nine years ago) link
i wouldn't even say it was nostalgia. more than it bled over into the next era
those records sounded fresh and undiscovered even in that time because everyone was already ripping them off
― hackshaw, Tuesday, 14 April 2015 00:00 (nine years ago) link
Now that I think about it, Pitchfork has been around now as long as Rolling Stone had been when I was old enough to start reading Rolling Stone. I wonder if Pitchfork seems like the old guard.

Pavement blows. No heart

As a Gen X-er who feels a special affinity for Pavement (I've been listening to them since 1992) and who has young impressionable music fan cousins, I've found that the kids dig Pavement and think they still sound relevant.
The band that has not aged well with the kids: REM. At least that's been my experience from a very small sample set.
