evol79 Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Yep. The ATL Lollapalooza. I can't remember if they made it to the 2nd stage or not. I do remember that it was supposed to be Sinead O' Connor, but we got Pavement instead! Also, I remember the rain of plastic bottles during Cypress Hill. Haha, good times.

jff Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Yep. The ATL Lollapalooza. I can't remember if they made it to the 2nd stage or not. I do remember that it was supposed to be Sinead O' Connor, but we got Pavement instead! Also, I remember the rain of plastic bottles during Cypress Hill. Haha, good times. Really? I remember Sinead was originally on the bill, but I didn't know Pavement was the substitute act. That's a great trade. Sinead would have been terrible in that setting. I've seen her before, and she was good, but Lollapalooza isn't the place for her. We also got Mike Watt w/ Nels Cline on the side stage that year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oil Can Boyd Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 From Matablog: The return of Gary Young The rock world has seen all sorts of momentous reunions no one would’ve predicted recently. Sammy Hager and Michael Anthony. DRI. The Faces with original vocalist Mick Hucknall and bassist Glen Matlock (hey, look it up!). But I feel very safe in saying none of the above pack the punch of the following newsflash: Original Pavement drummer Gary Young (above) will be behind the kit, accompanying SM, Spiral, Mark Ibold, Steve West and Bob Nastanovich on Thursday, June 24 at Stockton, CA”s Bob Hope Theatre. You know, the same Stockton concert somebody who may or may not edit this blog used as a cheap excuse to pick on a hardworking reporter who was just trying to do his job. Tickets are still available, but they won’t be forever. You might wanna think about flying in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chanman1128 Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 man i struggle with these guys....i have tried twice now, and I just can't do it, I can't get into them... damn. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimtweedy1977 Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 It's important to not expect exactly Pavement when considering Malkmus' solo material, he's wanted to get jammy for awhile and Pavement is, admittedly, not a great vehicle for that. That out of the way, Malkmus' solo material is pretty rad (it will never match Pavement, but I'm ok with it). If I had to rank the records in terms of being purely good, chances are I'd go chronological. But more recently, given my listening preferences here's probably how it goes: Brighten the CornersCrooked Rain, Crooked RainWowee ZoweeSlanted & EnchantedTerror Twilight I'm ok with ranking Pavement songs because somehow they separate from their albums really easily and are easily interpretable and enjoyable outside of the album context: 1. Here2. Gold Soundz3. We Dance4. Shady Lane5. Grounded6. Spit On A Stranger7. Range Life8. Trigger Cut9. Father to a Sister of a Thought10. Loretta's Scars Something like that. After 5 or 6 it gets really messy. Favorite Pavement Record-Brighten The CornersFavorite Pavement tune-Range Life I would definitely suggest checking out Preston School of Industry (Spiral Stairs' project) He has a new solo album out or coming out. The last PSOI album featured the members of Wilco on various tracks. I've been watching the Slow Century again tonight. I have a ticket for the Philly show with a day off of work. I am really looking forward to this show, but have no expectations. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oil Can Boyd Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Pretty interesting oral history on the making of Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain: http://www.stereogum.com/1629101/the-oral-history-of-pavements-crooked-rain-crooked-rain/franchises/the-anniversary/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NoJ Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I'll come right out and say that Pavement's "Slanted and Enchanted" is the best album released in the 90s (this is based on a scientific sample of my listening history). Way better than "Smells Like Teen Spirit", which while a fine album, I havent listened to in over 10 years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Moss Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Malkmus actually pulled out a few Pavement tunes last night. Father to a Sister of a thought and Box Elder. Pretty cool. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Malkmus actually pulled out a few Pavement tunes last night. Father to a Sister of a thought and Box Elder. Pretty cool. Flaked out on getting tickets for his next week Chicago show and it's sold out. Will be in the St. Louis area this weekend, so, if all goes well, I will catch him there this Saturday.

tinnitus photography Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 did you see his european set lists? holy christ. the covers (both non-Pavement and Pavement) were epic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moss Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 did you see his european set lists? holy christ. the covers (both non-Pavement and Pavement) were epic.Yeah I knew I was likely to hear something based on the Neil young, zep, Sabbath stuff. To be fair, the set list for Denver will say he did Come sail away but it was really his band playing the chorus for 20 seconds while he left the stage. He did do a passable Swingtown though.

Rusty Shackleford Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Stephen Malkmus was on the WTF podcast last week. Frankly it wasn't one of Maron's better episodes, as he spent the whole time just geeking out over his guest. But Malkmus comes across as a decent fellow, and he talks a little bit about the making of the Pavement records. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jff Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I just bought the Wowie Zowie 33 1/3 book. Hoping it's a good read, since the books in this series range from really good to absolute fucking garbage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
