I went to Steve Keene's workspace once and he had loads and loads of paintings in bins that he was just giving away. We got a bunch of wood cuttings that oddly looked like me and my dude and gave him a couple of twenties.
About ten years ago I bought a set of five randomly selected paintings off his website for like $25, and he sent me twelve, all on wood. One of them was of Pavement at the Hollywood Bowl.

Def. a 1993 show... I saw them 2x on that leg, I'll try to find the recording!

Apparently "Living Excuse" was a working title for "Cut Yr Hair" from my source...

"Sleep" is Fillmore Jive
"MT" = In The Mouth A Des(s)ert
"Loretta's II" = "Elevate Me Later"

Interesting to know they were playing a few CR, CR songs in '93.

That was Gary's last tour, maybe even one of his last shows.

I didn't get to see him play with them until the reunion show in Berkeley... that was really cool, something I thought I'd never get to see.

"sebadoh" came out on the CR deluxe as "all my friends"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6JK4p_vnqo
― tylerw, Friday, 25 January 2019 21:33 (five years ago) link
That's a great song! I never made the connection w/the early version on Stuff Up the Cracks.
― i stan corrected (morrisp), Friday, 25 January 2019 21:36 (five years ago) link
I'm gonna one up Tyler W (as this is a rare chance to) but "Sebadoh/Helen Stones" first showed up on the Gold Soundz b-side "Exit Theory":https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ag-C3_xQjW0
The unabridged version came out on the CR Deluxe as "All My Friends"
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Friday, 25 January 2019 21:56 (five years ago) link
Wow! I have that 7"... and again, never noticed it was the same song.
I wonder why they originally called it "Sebadoh"... it doesn't really sound like Sebadoh? Or maybe it does a little, I dunno

holy shit, "All My Friends" is one of my top 5 Pavement songs and I still can't believe they didn't put it on the albumI would KILLLLLLL to hear them play it live

Great rehearsal/performance footage here (w/Gary). Anyone know what song they’re rehearsing?:

it was listed on the setlist as "punk song".

There’s nothing like that early Pavement sound.

The best. Slanted and Enchanted remains my favorite record I ever bought the year it came out.

Like Malkmus, he has daughters who are into Billie "The Saint" Eillish, compare:

That Billie pic reminds me of when Malk said in an interview that Lorde owes him a favor (in return for something unspecified).
