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?:

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:

Hey, has anyone ever heard the song “David’s Gone,” which was on a cassette comp called Nostalgic Glimpse of a Victorian Country Childhood? Around 20 years ago, I was in an eBay bidding war for the tape, and was kind of relieved to lose out at the last second (as the $$ had gotten pretty high). The winner was really cool – he mailed me a CD-R with the track burned as some kind of audio file, but I was never able to get it to play.

...guess not(?) Bueller?
Anyhoo - I never realized there was a diff btw. "Summer Babe" and "Summer Babe (Winter Version)" - or at least I figured the differences were too subtle to notice (and that this was kind of "the joke") - tho I'm listening to them back-to-back now (Drag City comp vs. S&E), and the vocal is definitely flatter on the LP mix. What's the story behind the different mixes, anyway (...and is this something I could figure out for myself if I got off my @ss & flipped back thru the Luxe & Reduxe booklet or the Jovanovic book)?
― Your dream has symbolic content (morrisp), Tuesday, 21 July 2020 04:54 (three years ago) link
Hey, I never noticed the keyboard(?) deep in the mix under the "From now on..." section of "Loretta's Scars."(??)

"David's Gone" was passed around in the very early days of either alt.music.pavement or the pavement.listserv but yeah that's an almost 30yo relic that's essentially a silver jews rarity (dime map quality just less DCB). I can't remember a single thing about the song tbqh.
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Tuesday, 21 July 2020 15:36 (three years ago) link
Thanks for the intel (I wondered if DCB was the titular David).

I've espoused many times about the "lo-fi" tag being misaligned to Slanted & Enchanted, such as here:
C or D : Guided By Voices.
One thing that kind of bothers me about Pavement's "lo-fi" distinction is that they recorded everything up to Crooked Rain at Gary Young's original studio that had a 24-track MCI console which if you are familiar with is approximately the size (132"x41"x38") of ~200 Tascam 424s (18"x14"x4") such as the ones actually used by GBV, Sebadoh, Silver Jews, et.al. Slanted & Enchanted is extremely hi-fi compared to Alistair Galbraith or The Grifters music from the same period.

lo fi by preference vs lo fi by necessity?
― calstars, Tuesday, 21 July 2020 15:47 (three years ago) link
Listening to S&Eon headphones last night, I reflected how it’s an album like Murmur — as great as the songs are, the production (sometimes slighted as “murky, lo-fi,” etc.) is a very deliberate & key creative aspect of what makes it the album it is. The same songs, recorded differently, wouldn’t have the same impact or mystique... you can hear how the other mix of “Summer Babe” doesn’t quite have that feel.
