POO:PAVEMENT

Gold Soundz

or

Give It a Day

the way SM sings "and in the parking lot is the sedan he bought he never, he never complains when it's hot" in 'grounded' is so brilliant- the emphasis he puts on "is the sedan he bought he never" is really unusual & sounds like he's saying "anybody" or something else... i love songs where the sound of the words is more important or have more impact than the words themselves. or they create a new sound, sounds like made up words. i don't know, it's hard to describe, similar thing happens in the chorus of 'another nail in my heart' by squeeze, most nirvana songs...

Gold soundzzz wld be my second pick

grounded has a slight element of socio-political commentary and i think of pavement as pretty apolitical, gold sounds is more pavement-y to me

fillmore jive

^^^

xxp hmm you could say the same about two states, conduit for sale, give it a day, stop breathin, pueblo...

Impossible but today it's "Silence Kit" for me.

Summer babe

Stereo

Get out those hard-hats
And sing us some skat
Blade gushers gush
Chained and perfumed
I don't need a minister to call me a groom

Grounded. It's a small masterpiece.

Never really saw why Grounded is so well liked.

My default is Give It A Day

I like Grounded a lot, but not my fave.

If I were allowed a POT, it would be Box Elder and Trigger Cut.

But as I'm not, Box Elder I think.

Grounded

unfair

too hard to pick one but Pueblo > Half a Canyon is just the best shit ever

Summer Babe

"Circa 1762" that was on the Slanted & Enchanted reissue, I guess it was never recorded other than a Peel Session?

Fight this Generation has everything.

i am in fact leavin' (work) for the holiday season

but i always complain when it's hot

this could be pavement heresy but i really like 'speak, see remember'

i think the only heresy is picking a spiral song

I always liked Kennel District

impossible to choose

pueblo vs we dance vs here vs all of watery, domestic vs

Didnt mtv in the 90s play hit the plane down for one of their show’s outros? Never watched mtv tho so i have no way to confirm

I usually think people who pick obscure and/or early songs in these circumstances are try-hard bellends but, fuck it: 'Frontwards' ;-)

Friends lifted Rattled by the Rush in those early seasons. I imagine if the band had done something about that they’d have made a fortune in royalties

Xp

Rly good track

I'd like to check out your public protests

Lifted? Bit of a reach, really?

I know it sounds similar but

It’s a pretty blatant rip. Not “hey they kinda sound similar” but “hey this music wouldn’t exist if they hadn’t copied it from the source”

I just always assumed it was a coincidence

there is no way this is a coincidence, and "lifted" is definitely not a reach:

Just heard their "killing moon" cover for the first time yesterday. God I love Pavement.

yeah that's legit one of my 5 favorite pavement songs, so good

no soap in the jar

the reference to "playing contract bridge" in Grounded seems like the most Pavement thing

i love the drumming on grounded

it seems very simple -- i don't really know anything about drumming -- but appropriate in a ringo way

“Shoot the Singer,” but these are all good choices. I miss Pavement.

this is such a beautiful performance

really thrilling and moving

I love "Strings of Nashville".

Unseen Power of the Picket Fence

No POX and can't do POO:

Give it a Day
Grounded
Silence Kit
Half a Canyon
Zurich is Stained
Texas Never Whispers
Frontwards
Gold Soundz
Shoot the Singer
Elevate Me Later

Greenlander!

x-post - how different would that version of "Grounded" be to usual Pavement?

There's a darkness to it, possibly?

I always assumed West was considered the “better drummer” than Gary but listening to the early stuff again, there isn’t any way in hell West could have pulled off the awesome fills at the end of Texas never whispers
