I am not as in tune with indie rock as I used to be, but -- what's a current band you think sounds like Pavement? I really can't come up with one! Like maaaaaybe certain moments of Parquet Courts?

Why does this reunion seem sooo much more fun and moving than the last one
― PaulTMA, Monday, 6 June 2022 23:04 (one year ago) link
LOL, I forgot about Kiwi Jr.
Thanks for these – I was able to find a few on streaming (the others must keep low profiles), and am enjoying Versing atm
(I'm v familiar w/Courtney B – don't consider her too Pavement-sounding, tho did see the Jicks open for her a few years back)

Speedy Ortiz

some of those on my list are definitely Pavement-ier than others
the first Clearance album might be the *most* Pavement-yor the Wake Up album from last year, "Tigers Can't Be Choosers" ... very Pavement-y
― alpine static, Tuesday, 7 June 2022 08:44 (one year ago) link
Kiwi Jr almost unforgivably pavement-y, but they have so much charm (and its wasted)

Speedy Ortiz have been around for 10+ years, should probably split soon and hoover up some bigger fest reunion slots in 5 or so years.
― Position Position, Tuesday, 7 June 2022 11:46 (one year ago) link
I think the mood is brighter because they’ve had an extra 10 years from the split to mellow out and leave a lot of the bad blood behind them.

Also, Tik-Tok, “Harness Your Hopes,” the kids.
― Legalize Suburban Benches (Raymond Cummings), Tuesday, 7 June 2022 20:04 (one year ago) link
xpost yeah of course. Makes me wonder if they should have just waited until now. The show I saw in 2010 had awkward vibez
― PaulTMA, Tuesday, 7 June 2022 23:49 (one year ago) link
There are a few good quotes in this article the band shared today:
Pavement revisited ‘Harness Your Hopes’ by releasing a new video on YouTube, and the song, along with the Spit on a Stranger EP was finally issued on vinyl back in April. It’s a turn of events that still leaves Mark Ibold more than a bit confused. “I’m still a bit surprised by our whole response to this,” he says with a roll of his eyes. “First, we go and make a video because some fucking algorithm tells us to, and now we’re practising playing it live. That just doesn’t sound like Pavement to me.”
― “Lawman,” Slick (Grunt) (morrisp), Monday, 18 July 2022 20:27 (one year ago) link
If someone had told me in 1994 that one day Pavement would make a video of an old song because an algorithm told them to, I'd have said that sounded about right.
― F'kin Magnetometers, how do they work? (President Keyes), Tuesday, 19 July 2022 14:50 (one year ago) link
the sudden rise in likes was because the track was “on a playlist or something… you know, one of those ‘Monday Moods’ or whatever the fuck they do.”
Kannberg ushers a groan at the mere mention of the song or Spotify.
“I’m still a bit surprised by our whole response to this,” he says with a roll of his eyes. “First, we go and make a video because some fucking algorithm tells us to, and now we’re practising playing it live. That just doesn’t sound like Pavement to me."

In more seriousness, I get it, and also that piece is good. Though there is no way a flight from Des Moines to Portland should take seven hours.
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 19 July 2022 15:02 (one year ago) link
pretty excited about seeing them in October. Saw the the Jix twice & though and that was fun and worth the drives & $$, I regret not catching Pavement on the OG run. Chances are it would have been meh but you’re only 19 once

best things about this:1. everyone looks like they are having a blast2. you can hear the huge crowd singing along3. Rebecca Cole!!! (keyboards & backing vox & attitude)4. Bob's backing vocals, actually everything abt him5. Spiral killing it on "Kennel District"
― thinkmanship (sleeve), Tuesday, 9 August 2022 23:57 (one year ago) link
6. Best version of "Type Slowly" I think I've ever heard
― feed me with your chips (zchyrs), Friday, 12 August 2022 18:51 (one year ago) link
jumped right to that one--you're right, the extended jam sounds awesome

7. Interpolation of "Marquee Moon" into "Folk Jam"

type slowly that is
they definitely seem to be having more fun this tine around — it's nice!
― tylerw, Friday, 12 August 2022 19:49 (one year ago) link
I really love the versions of "Cut Your Hair" and 'Perfume-V" here as well
― thinkmanship (sleeve), Friday, 12 August 2022 19:50 (one year ago) link
they seem a little "restrained" hope it's just the big stage, and hope there are lotsa tapers this fall
― a (waterface), Friday, 12 August 2022 20:14 (one year ago) link
Is there a little bit of "All Apologies" in the "Type Slowly" jam, do you think?
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Friday, 12 August 2022 20:28 (one year ago) link
their p4k set in 2009 (?) was underwhelming, glad to see they're reaping the love from people and truly enjoying themselves
― global tetrahedron, Friday, 12 August 2022 20:34 (one year ago) link
OMG "Two States"!!!!!!
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Friday, 12 August 2022 20:36 (one year ago) link
Just want to say I loved them in 2010 and thought they were having fun then too! Were they faking?
(a lot more fun than they were having touring terror twilight in any event)
Yeah they definitely seemed to be having fun when I saw 'em in 2010, and so did the crowd.
― feed me with your chips (zchyrs), Friday, 12 August 2022 20:40 (one year ago) link
i saw them in 2010 and they killed. . .
― a (waterface), Friday, 12 August 2022 20:40 (one year ago) link
my sense/guess is the big shows they're a little nervous, that primavera show SM doesn't even open his eyes for like the first 5 songs
― a (waterface), Friday, 12 August 2022 20:41 (one year ago) link
malk seemed salty at the rest of the band at another show i saw around that time, had to start/stop then explain how a song went to spiral stairs to a half filled shitty venue
― global tetrahedron, Friday, 12 August 2022 20:49 (one year ago) link
haha, it may have just been me having less fun in 2010, i don't know.
― tylerw, Friday, 12 August 2022 21:02 (one year ago) link
"Zurich Is Stained" sounds hella out of tune at the beginning(?)
― Panda bear, my gentle friend (morrisp), Friday, 12 August 2022 21:12 (one year ago) link
Lotta singing along in this audience. Really had no idea this many people knew the words to old Pavement songs in 2022.
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Friday, 12 August 2022 21:12 (one year ago) link
xp guess it's just Spiral's gtr all the way thru that song
― Panda bear, my gentle friend (morrisp), Friday, 12 August 2022 21:15 (one year ago) link
god, what a fuckin' dream for Rebecca Cole. or at least it looks like a dream to me.
i would love to read a long, good interview with her about this experience.
