to me, pavement is like an extension of SY as SY is an extension of the Velvet underground. I think to most people that sounds moronic.

I think in the grand scheme of things Pavement have more depth than SY, but that's just my opinion.

Pavement were my favourite band in sixth form, they meant a lot to me to me growing up. So did Sonic Youth as well but Pavement were always my favourite. Pavement are probably a bit more fun as well.

Pavement have NEVER been one of my favourite bands.

Depth? I don't think that's quite it. They're more dynamic, maybe. I mean, they have touched on a broader range of genres. But actually that might not even be true... SY has done hardcore/post-hardcore/punk/noise/grunge/pop/experimental and even dipped their toes in electronica and jazz. I mean, look at SYR and the Mats Gustafsen collabo's. Pavement was more colorful, let's put it that way. They had a brighter and crisper and more immediate sound. But I think that SY had more along the lines of actual "depth", but that's a subjective and hard to define term. |

Pavement was my favorite band for a while before I settled on SY. I think this was '98 or '99. They only held the top spot for about a week, though, and eventually fell to the Nirvana/Pixies combo that dominated that era of my life. Looking back, I actually prefer them to both Nirvana and the Pixies, but they don't work well as a "favorite" for me. They're not the kind of band you can listen to in any state of mind, (though they do offer music for several moods).

Not Pavement-related per se, but I just found out Stephen Malkmus is playing here in Las Vegas on February 25th. Malkmus is my favorite musician ever, so I'm sure you can imagine my excitement when I found this out.

I bet they will soon once they have some downtime. They've really only done brief tours here and there for Mirror Traffic, once they do a longer tour I expect them to hit a good chunk of Europe, that is a major market for them it seems like.

Regarding the TT reissue, from what I've gathered Matador thinks it would be a better time for it to come out mid this year. I guess they were releasing/promoting too many "big" records in November/December to properly focus on the FINAL Pavement release, which, let's be honest, is always one of their best sellers that they hype, hype, HYPE.
It's all about timing, I suppose. ~Jeremy~

Of course Pavement's awesome. In my youth crooked rain was like the Catcher in the Rye to me. Now Terror Twilight gets the most play. You know, because I'm all old and mellow and prefer tunefulness and listenability to chaos and emotive creativity . Like a Beatles fan who decides that Abbey Road is superior to the White Album. Its just part of getting old. I'm all wisened and shit.

My faves are Westing and Slanted.
Crooked Rain is classic and Wowee Zowee has some choice nugs, but I really did not enjoy the last album and I HATE all the Jicks crap. They became everything they rebelled against, standard, boring, generic singer-songwriter crap.
