four-fifths of Pavement reunites (not really) for Bob N.'s wedding
― dmr, Tuesday, 24 February 2009 17:16 (fifteen years ago) link
was spiral stairs not invited? harsh.i certainly wouldn't mind seeing Pavement play live again, but all of the hubbub and hype that would accompany a potential reunion would be dreadful, I'm sure.

Bob Nastanovich says:
... As far as Pavement goes, I'd have gladly played Pavement song(s). My parts were mostly easy as many of you know and require little practice. I'd love it if Pavement reunited. Gary Young and Scott Kannberg were not invited to the wedding as I have not kept up with either as well as I should have over the last 10-15 years. Our wedding was limited to 100 guests (with plenty of family involved (both sides)). In my opinion, there should not be a Pavement reunion without all six members involved. Anyways, for the record, I'm game...
Best, Bob N
p.s. The first toast goes to Tony Crow. BN

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"

Well i'm sure we'll be getting one of those deluxe reissues sometime soon

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.

― jazzgasms (Mr. Que), Thursday, 10 December 2009 19:14 (fourteen years ago) link
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.
― jazzgasms (Mr. Que), Thursday, 10 December 2009 19:19 (fourteen years ago) link
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.

― tylerw, Thursday, 10 December 2009 19:36 (fourteen years ago) link
got it. thanks so much
― iago g., Thursday, 10 December 2009 20:24 (fourteen years ago) link
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
― Mr. Que, Monday, 1 March 2010 22:55 (fourteen years ago) link
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
― Lee Dorrian Gray (J0hn D.), Tuesday, 2 March 2010 02:06 (fourteen years ago) link
They actually ended the show with Conduit for Sale!, but it's cut off in the photo.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 2 March 2010 02:13 (fourteen years ago) link
silence kit into range life is like such an awesome thing in my mind

yeah, man i'm looking forward to seeing them

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."

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
Also, I guess you still need to dial up the Westing... comp to hear the "Perfect Sound Forever" tracks (so Drag City Incorporated get their $0.0000002)

...and ftr, that's exactly what I'm doing now. I've never known most of these songs by title, but damn... "Internal K-Dart" and "Perfect Depth" are such anthems. After hearing those, you kinda have to play the final EP, and close out the trilogy.
