Over a year ago, I said this band sucked and made fun of the fans for liking this band. I didn't get it. I didn't get the mystique of this band. I do now and on behalf of myself two years ago, I apologize from the bottom of my heart. I rediscovered Slanted and Enchanted and I love it. Roll on.
@wndupfx Its okay man most people dont realize the pure musical ecstasy of Pavement for a while and they dismiss them as "hipster pitchfork crap etc". Ignorance I say! SPREAD THE GOOD WORD
stephen malkmus can write a song like nobody's business. better than anyone. bob dylan. lou reed. lennon-mcartney. jagger-richards. those guys ain't got shit on my man SM although i love'em all like my sweet hairy drug using children.
i really find it amazing that anyone, let alone that many people, could watch this video all the way through and actually hit the dislike button. guess it just proves humans are stupid
Pavement played a small, outdoor show at Cliffhangers in Louisville back in 93. It began to rain and everyone crowded under the shelter the band was under. I sat on an amp about 3 feet from the drummer. They rocked out and I felt like I was part of the band lol.
Do you hate when one of the two most thumbed up comments is a response to some other comment, and you have to search for the comment just to see it's deleted? I do.
Love reading all you rock historians and critic wannabes citing "influences" and trends just because you hear a snatch of a song that reminds you of another one. Did you ever think that the whole of music history moves along at once and musical ideas occur to people at the same time based on EVERYTHING that has occurred before them? PLUS, it's not worth two shits one way or the other who's first, it's how you use it. PLUS PLUS, Bach and all the greats stole music and made it better.
@shelleyinthecity Rather than troll you (because I found your comment annoyingly wrong!) try working *backwards* from Pavement rather than forwards - these are both later, and far less interesting, bands.
If you want to find some truly amazing rock music that informed their sound, try any of these:
The Verlaines - Bird Dog, The Clean - Anthology (both NZ), The Fall - anything btwn 81 - 86), and (maybe you need to hit 30 for these) as much 60s / 70s psych, prog and folk as you can find.
@Pfafflewaffle IMHO, I think it's because those terms are used now (at least I use them) in place of "yuppie" or "poser". In my day (mid 80's-early 90's), college radio became "alternative" and post-punk rock became "grunge" among other terms, and independent literally meant being independent-as opposed to a style of music.
