@EctInc:But we´re quite aware in Europe,that certain Americans like to use"fuck"etc.with lots of pleasure,as long as there is no media man with a microphone in sight.Now this is a very hypocritical attitude,that the word is used in everyday life, but they don´t want to hear it on TV/radio so that the oh so sensible youngsters(who can hear it often from adults in everyday life)don´t get"seduced"to use it.
Of course the word is also very rarely used on European TV,but it is not prohibited.
@MrSKINFLICK That's a very interesting point. I agree, there's a lot of hypocritical puritans on this side of the pond (granted, at least in my area we get a lot of fucks on the radio. depends on the station, obviously). But I think that might not be the reason, because the bleep wasn't on the album.
I watched it in the 90s first (120 minutes, English MTV, which was aired in Germany)+at that time the bleep was also already on the video track ! Who knows, i only thought so, because Pavement have such a bizarre humor anyway. But MTV back then wasn´t so prude about fucks, they often featured a comedian named Dennis Leary with "anarchic" clips of several minutes, deriding pathetic rock+rap musicians with sharp satire & his noisy band + his videos had enough four letter words...
I was in highschool when "Crooked Rain x 2" came out. Still stands the test of time. This song and "Don't Go Back To Rockville" by REM and "Driving on 9" by the Breeders would complement each other well on a mix tape.
Does the fruit eating, hair stroaking, dominatrix shenanigans of mark Ibold and Stephen Malkmus make anyone else feel like giving gay a go??. Or is it just me??
I don't think the point of including the Smashing Pumpkins and STP was to directly insult them. I think he was just trying to capture the "youth" spirit at the time and those were two very-well liked and popular bands of the early 90s, so they fit perfectly.
@gogolplex74 "The yrer [sic] American and they call themselves 'Pavement?' They should be called Sidewalk"
As an American, I think of the word "Pavement" to be synonymous with "blacktop", "tarmac", etc. It is a word that we know & use but not for a sidewalk.
they accused the Pumpkins for selling out.. which is kinda stupid because if it wasn't for Nirvana, who made alternative music big in the first place, Sonic Youth, Radiohead, The Pixies and Pavement wouldn't big as they are. You'd never ever hear their songs on the radio or on MTV if Nirvana never hit it big. It was more important for Pavement to define themselves by their "status" in what genre they were in. that's the mistake they've made. Its so narrow minded to confined themselves like that.
@pugghead Im in my early 20s and i still listen to the smashing pumpkins i even have have a smashing pumpkins tac on my arm. My brother in his late 20s also listens to the smashing pumpkins. I feel sorry for you it doesn't matter what age you are to like great music, hell i still listen to my first Kid Rock CD. Don't put music into age groups you might miss out on something worth your wild to listen to.
A scientific research has recently proved that music gives us the same pleasure as orgasms. Well, this song is the orgasm that Charlize Theron would give me
So why do you make stuff up? There is no scientific evidence that listening to music gives us the same pleasure as an orgasm. And what has me having more sex got to do with it? Will having more sex suddenly make your total BS comments on Youtube more true? Nope.
@Tunnelzzzzz Let's not get carried away there with the pseudo science. I think I know EXACTLY the study you're referring to and it compared the dopamine release associated with feeling chills while listening to music to dopamine release during sex. No one said anything about the overall experience being akin to a big O.
@JimB0SLicE1 "thumbs up" if it's retarded as hell to say "thumbs up" for stupid unimportant comments. If people like you comment they'll up thumb that shit. Don't get desperate. Listen to the jams man.
Its crazy to think that I met Scott when I was just a kid at his Dads house. My father and his worked together and its nuts to me because you never think people that you've met in life will become rock stars.
Quite possibly my favourite Pavement song. It is ever so masterfully off-key, but that is part of it charm. There was always something off-kilter about Pavement, but they made it work. Wrong yet right. Love it :-)
I'm all for bands like bright eyes doing that off key shit, but this is almost painful to listen to... It's not quirky and fun, it's just a guy who has no business ever singing! I can fart into a microphone and it would sound like angels weeping in comparison!
Saw them many times but by far the best show was at the Warfield in SF when they opened for Sonic Youth. I think it was one of Ibold's first shows. He was in the audience with a couple friends before backstage and he was so nervous. Man, if I would have known I was part of a revolution I would have paid more attention.
@musicvision31 wow, I never thought of it that way. I mean, they sound like a more lazy version of the grateful dead, minus the drugs (the only thing that makes the band tolorable) they gets hyped up by pitchfork and hipsters sucking their dick, but wow. I suck. you sure showed me
seen live a few down here in oz and have always enjoyed a quiet pipe while listening to pavement, nicely said Jackfetter im 35 and still loisten to pavement, archers, sebadoh, dino jr, swervedriver and many other 90's bands and its good to see that you the young blokes are recognising real tunes

@Malingo25 yeh i felt the same. Really diggin the song then the 3rd-5th time i played the album caught that lyric..but-we dont know. Some of the Pumpkins were deep in heroin at the time- corrupts most peoples' behavior...& Corgan does seem a bit snotty at times...I could see them acting like douchebags to some garage band they look down upon. I still love both bands.i dont need to choose.. According to Kim Deal,Black Frances was a shithead- I still love both the Pixies & the Breeders. I'm free.
Was a time when this, along with a lot of other Pavement songs, sounded really great to me. Somehow times have changed, or I have. I don't hate them, but I find it pretty boring, and it is hard to hear whatever it was that grabbed me back then. Maybe I'll hear it again next year.
the first time a listened to this song i said "ok, good", but its nice when you discover a song the 3rd time you listen to it... or the 33rd, finally you understand why they play that way. You dont know which is the next song that will surprise you, cause you have maybe listened to it 20 times and have seen nothing in it, and suddenly you are signing it and wondering "what is the name of this song???"
@Happymealify Isaacs good but Malkums has him beat. I'd have to say my favorite lyricist is David Bazan though. Check out his band Pedro the Lion, theyre a pretty good indie band. (I'm not trying to advertise )
@DemonicMuffinMan Well, everyone has their own opinion. If you think Malkmus is better than Isaac then I will respect you on your opinion. Ill check out that band. Thanks you for the discussion and the new band you have introduced me to!
@JackFetter11 Malkimus greatest? Search Art of life lyrics. Just writing lyrics and not interconnected them with the song (melody) is without emotion, without purpose and will remain boring and gray.
There're ton of other lyrics and composers whose purpose is far greater than any of the lyrics written by Malkmus.
@Happymealify You see, when someone says "of all Time" as if they were present during all that time in combination to every single lyrics writer that was born, is alive or will be born - I disagree with you, and I disagree strongly. Maybe best FOR you, but not overall best in all world, time et cetera.
@c1k4ml3kc3 It also depends on the criteria. The only problem with judging on "best of" is that it is pretty subjective. Isaac Brock may not be first place for everyone, but im sure he would be somewhere on the list if there was a list of 100 best lyricists. It all depends on opinion even when judging the best. Also. Im pretty sure that Isaac would be at least in the top 20 on most lists. As stated before it all depends on the criteria and even then it still depends on opinion.
Dude I am in the exact same boat. What the hell are we going to do. No other band will ever mean the same thing to me. The world will never see another man like Stephen Malkmus. I also saw them on the reunion, it was fanflippingtastic. Im 16 and I get nostalgic watching old footage of them and I most likely wasnt even alive or was a baby when it was recorded. I will be listening to them my entire life.
@JackFetter11 i'm 15. and i fucking hate the pop culture's depiction of good music. i'm in love with this kinda music (pixies, dinosaur jr, pavement, etc...) and i completely understand everything you say.
Now ALL you......... Pavement fans NEED TO GO FIND uk 80s band =FELT.. whole put out 10 albums FROM 1980 onwards.....FELT should be held as the number one godfathers of INDIE ROCK N ROLL..............and pavement and all the others bands from around the planet should kiss the feet of FELT forever
I have the feeling Pavement is one of those bands that I should have been listening to all these years, even though I'm just barely finding out about them.
It's like coming home ...

@JackFetter11 :O How could you say that? Isaac Brooke is the greatest lyricist of all time, but Malkmus is a close second place.

@Happymealify Isaacs good but Malkums has him beat. I'd have to say my favorite lyricist is David Bazan though. Check out his band Pedro the Lion, theyre a pretty good indie band. (I'm not trying to advertise )

@DemonicMuffinMan Well, everyone has their own opinion. If you think Malkmus is better than Isaac then I will respect you on your opinion. Ill check out that band. Thanks you for the discussion and the new band you have introduced me to!

@JackFetter11 Malkimus greatest? Search Art of life lyrics. Just writing lyrics and not interconnected them with the song (melody) is without emotion, without purpose and will remain boring and gray.
There're ton of other lyrics and composers whose purpose is far greater than any of the lyrics written by Malkmus.

@c1k4ml3kc3 SM's lyrics just really really strike me, we are all entitled to our favorite lyricist, i was just stating my opinion.

@c1k4ml3kc3 Isaac Brock is in my opinion the greatest lyricist of all time.

@Happymealify You see, when someone says "of all Time" as if they were present during all that time in combination to every single lyrics writer that was born, is alive or will be born - I disagree with you, and I disagree strongly. Maybe best FOR you, but not overall best in all world, time et cetera.

@c1k4ml3kc3 It also depends on the criteria. The only problem with judging on "best of" is that it is pretty subjective. Isaac Brock may not be first place for everyone, but im sure he would be somewhere on the list if there was a list of 100 best lyricists. It all depends on opinion even when judging the best. Also. Im pretty sure that Isaac would be at least in the top 20 on most lists. As stated before it all depends on the criteria and even then it still depends on opinion.

@Happymealify |It's pretty much like a beauty contest. When someone defines most beautiful female, than we may talk about what are "the best" lyrics.
Any criteria's not good enough. It's just a perception that matters here. Regards

Dude I am in the exact same boat. What the hell are we going to do. No other band will ever mean the same thing to me. The world will never see another man like Stephen Malkmus. I also saw them on the reunion, it was fanflippingtastic. Im 16 and I get nostalgic watching old footage of them and I most likely wasnt even alive or was a baby when it was recorded. I will be listening to them my entire life.

@eloiseplesser Word dude. I would go absolutely ballistic watching those old videos.
You could not have said it better, i feel the same way. SM is a genius, and my hero. They will always be apart of me.
What show did you see them at?
JackFetter11 8 months ago
@eloiseplesser I think you and JackFetter11 should listen to Bright Eyes.

@eheffelf i think you should listen to Beck, because Beck is a better lyricist than Conor Oberst. Bright Eyes their shit is to wimpy.

@envane The bands you mention are for the steel-brained and aesthetically monotonous, which comes to the same thing in your case. Cf. "Die for Metal"

I have the feeling Pavement is one of those bands that I should have been listening to all these years, even though I'm just barely finding out about them.
