Quirk-out kings of cult US rock or over-rated Fall rip-offs? Personally, I love 'em to bits.

― Michael Bourke, Monday, 26 February 2001 01:00 (twenty-five years ago)

I do realize that they can't swing, that Stephen Malkmus can't sing and that they could lay off the irony a little, but they're so much fun that I don't care. Pretty much everything up to Wowee Zowee is classic. Brighten The Corners I found a bit drab, so I didn't get Terror Twilight. Am I missing much ? Anyway, a Classic band, and "Father To A Sister Of Thought" is freakin' gorgeous.

― Patrick, Monday, 26 February 2001 01:00 (twenty-five years ago)

I am not surprised to discover stevie's new record sounds exactly like pavement, except maybe "the Hook", which sounds like a slightly blues- funkier version of Pavement. Slanted & Enchanted was pretty much where it started and stopped for me. The songs, even Stevie agrees, all started to sound "the same"... "started to" or "always did"?

I can sum up Pavement with a few words: run-on sentences, inside-jokes (which, unfortunately are never explained), sloppy jams hovering somewhere between self-mocking angst and slacker apathy culminating in complacency.

Something about them was unique at one time, but not terribly more unique than several other bands of the same era. And, is it just me, or does Steve have NO RANGE?!

That being said, I think Pavement are okay for summer music ("Summer babe"...) but Steve's starting to wear out his welcome in my eardrums.

― john yonderboy, Monday, 26 February 2001 01:00 (twenty-five years ago)

It says something about them, or me, or this site, or all three, that I was absolutely stone-cold positive we'd had this thread before.

I like the ballads, I think - "Here", "We Dance". Ask me in ten years.

― Tom, Monday, 26 February 2001 01:00 (twenty-five years ago)

Actually no, Patrick, I feel "Terror Twilight" was where the rot set in but it still has some class songs on it eg. "Billie","Major Leagues"..Its funny that you mention that they are great fun because I always feel their music is full of those lovely cuddlesome FUN moments.....check the "Woo-woo" harmonies in "Trigger Cut"...the anthemic scarf waving chorus of "We are underused" and that line in "Billie"..."Black widows are seen as stigmatised beings who ought to have a second chance/and hurricanes spin like debutantes into a trance"...I could go on forever..

― Michael Bourke, Monday, 26 February 2001 01:00 (twenty-five years ago)

Best experience I've ever had with them was the collection of B-sides that I made from my friend Brian's collection on a CDR. Worked better than *any* of the real albums. I have no idea what that might mean.

I appreciate the Fall's virulence, to hark back to an obvious predecessor, to Pavement's mere quirkiness. Compared to the bile Mark E. can drop from his lips, the endlessly quoted putdowns from "Range Life" seem completely wimpy and pointless.

― Ned Raggett, Monday, 26 February 2001 01:00 (twenty-five years ago)

you know what was a killer pavement tune? 'robyn turned 26', from the grand royal groovebox comp a while back. it's like they decided to out-grand royal all the grand royal artists on their own album. brilliant.

― ethan padgett, Monday, 26 February 2001 01:00 (twenty-five years ago)

Zee Pavement, veering into sub-classic territory. They were good and they alway surprised me in that I always liked their latest record, up till 'Brighten the Corners' after that i really lost interest. My favorite is "Wowee Zowee", it has the best ratio of pure melody and cool minimal krautrockin tunes. They were a rather boring live band after they fired Plant Maaaaaan.

― Omar, Tuesday, 27 February 2001 01:00 (twenty-five years ago)

I like 'em. Never really heard the Fall. The last album they made wasn't so great. The Stephen Malkmus solo album is good. bye.

― jel, Tuesday, 27 February 2001 01:00 (twenty-five years ago)

I've never understood all the fuss about Pavement. The press have always liked Malkmus and the fact that he gives good interview seems to obscure the often dull music.

"Slanted.." is the only album that I play regularly, and I admit it's good, as is half of "Wowee Zowee". They CAN be almost great ("Summer Babe", "Here", "Father to a Sister of a Thought"), but seem content to pad out releases with half-arsed Pavement-by-numbers material. Or should that be Fall-by-numbers?

I lost interest by "Brighten the Corners" when it was clear that they could only do one thing, and we're probably going to do it for ever.

― Dr. C, Tuesday, 27 February 2001 01:00 (twenty-five years ago)

Classic. Pavemnet 4 ever MAN!

― JM, Tuesday, 27 February 2001 01:00 (twenty-five years ago)

four months pass...

For one thing, some have taken (and still seem to take) Pavement too seriously. They are not meant to be (nor ever were meant to be) some sort of generational anthem band (ala Nirvana or Pearl Jam or Blur or whatever). They are just a bunch of kooks (funny slackers) who can toss off one hell of a catchy pop/rock tune that happen to come out of the 90's.

They make me bob my head and laugh and feel good - which is the whole of the point of Pavement (as far as I see it). And...job well-done.

'Crooked Rain, Crooken Rain' is simply brilliant in it's slackerisms. And is in my top 3 (maybe even THE) summer album list. Already have listened to it many times this very summer period and will surely listen to it many more times (as I have for past summers). It still hasn't lost it's charms on me (not come summer time, at least). Last summer, a younger cousin of mine got married. And...I played 'Crooked Rain' loud as I drove there and back as the perfect soundtrack to all that has been slacked in my young, but getting old, life. Worked perfectly for that "I'm 30. What do I have to show for it?" mood when you just want to say "Fuck it all. I'm going driving in search of some far off land of fairies and hot cocoa." (fine, maybe that's just me, but)

'Woowee Zowee' is good in many spots (nix the forced "punk" tracks). And Malkmus solo album is a solid summer album (for the most part). The rest...I don't care too much for, but. 'Crooked Rain' makes up for the rest alone.

― michael g. breece, Monday, 2 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-five years ago)

crooked rain, and wowee zowee are very good albums, but i'm wondering how well they've dated. i don't play these records anymore, maybe i don't connect so much with them now. i'm finding this, also with mercury rev (up to see you on the other side - deserters songs was appaling anyway), flaming lips, stereolab, tindersticks etc etc. these were favourite albums for such a long time, and i still think, objectively, they're great albums. so, why do i never play them anymore?

― gareth, Monday, 2 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-five years ago)

You've changed, duh.

― Josh, Monday, 2 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-five years ago)

two weeks pass...

Has anyone heard Spiral Stairs' new project, Preston School of Industry? I find it superior to Malkmus' solo debut, but below the best of Pavement. Very enjoyable listen, and for some reason, I detected some Silver Jews in it, which is odd given that it's Malkmus that worked with them.

― alex in montreal, Tuesday, 17 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-five years ago)

haven't heard it, no. but isn't preston school of industry a very '96 name, sound like the sort of band who would have supported stereolab and been very pleased about their silver apples records. they might have been quite good though

― gareth, Tuesday, 17 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-five years ago)

*I'm* very pleased about the one Silver Apples record I own. If "Preston School of Industry" sounds '96 it's the obvious Ooop North-ness: at least it makes *me* think of *that* Preston ...

― Robin Carmody, Tuesday, 17 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-five years ago)

My fave Pavement moment (besides all of S&E and Crooked Rain (does sign of cross)) is B-side of "Rattled by the Rush", where they do their best Jon Spencer Blues Explosion ("False Skorpion"). It's still incontrovertibly Pavement, like they're in a police lineup with a fake moustache, desperately trying to "blow" it back into place. It's the kind of thing the Stones did constantly. Trying to sound like someone else, and failing = being your own hairy self. The Spencerisms are hilarious: "I ain't no woman... I ain't no woman... I'm a... MAYunnn... check me out!") The other B song on that 45, "So Easily Fooled", I like better than the single prob. cause it sounds like it belongs on Crooked Rain... so did I say that I liked Pavement?

― Tracer Hand, Tuesday, 17 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-five years ago)

The Preston School of Industry is an abandoned reform school in Northern California. Merle Haggard has a PSOI tattoo on his arm. I thought the Stephen Malkmus album was ok, not as good as the Pavement albums but enjoyable all the same. I'll definitely check out the PSOI's new album tho. Great title too-"All this sounds gas".

― Michael Bourke, Tuesday, 17 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-five years ago)

Thanks. I see.

It being Preston, Lancashire would have fitted Pavement's rather tiresome Anglophile image, I suppose.

― Robin Carmody, Wednesday, 18 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-five years ago)

three months pass...

Dreadful garbage. I assume Pavement is one of those bands that "sounds better on vinyl." because on CD its just all flat murk with no texture. A crummy band trying...and failing...at imitating the VU. They don't imitate Sonic Youth, Teenage Fanclub or Slint any better. Every time I see a review where some self-satisfied critic gives "Slanted and Enchanted" a five-star review, I get angry. What a waste of perfectly good resources. Hell, at least Guided by Voices are incompetent enough to be funny. Pavement is just dull...dull...dullllll......

― Mitch Lastnamewithheld, Sunday, 28 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

the last three posts would make a great chorus for a pavement esque song.

― james, Sunday, 28 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Too Late, Mark E Smith already used that as the chorus to a B-side.

― Lord Custos, Wednesday, 31 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

it's not all good - the good tunes are good the bad tunes are bad. malkmus' new stuff sucks. preston ain't much better. at least they were better than polvo.

well because your vitriol for the indie bands you don't like is so potent! but what people don't realize is that this is only because a True Indie Rock Player cannot tolerate impure visions, hangers-on, fake players in tha tr00 game!

I miss them, especially in light of my increased appreciation for the last two records. It's not that I'd choose one over the other (S&E/CR,CR vs BtC/TT); I'm just glad that the Pavement of the last two albums existed. It's like after seeing their "cool, ironic and detached" side, we got a rewarding glimpse at their more relaxed and at-ease side (thus more daydreaming material).

― alex in montreal, Wednesday, 12 May 2004 13:10 (twenty-two years ago)

four years pass...

best song off S&E sounds least like the rest; i'd like them if all their songs sounded like that one.

― Pantheism F. Mohair (res), Saturday, 1 November 2008 20:19 (seventeen years ago)

With each Pavement album, there's like six good-to-great songs, and the rest is just absolute self-indulgent wankery garbage. It's shocking that their first couple records have achieved the status of Perfect Canonical Rock Classics That Everyone Should Buy. TRUST ME - THEY'RE NOT!

― Mr. Snrub, Saturday, 1 November 2008 20:47 (seventeen years ago)

I completely agree with that, at least for S&E. I couldn't even listen to CRCR-- particularly that godawful single "Cut Your Hair"; Wowee Zowee and Brighten the Corners failed to make any impression on me whatsoever-- well, except that they seemed exceedingly mediocre. S&E has a few good songs, but "Here" is the standout tune, and it doesn't sound like the rest. I never feel inclined to listen to anything else by Pavement besides that song.

― Pantheism F. Mohair (res), Saturday, 1 November 2008 20:51 (seventeen years ago)

here?

also, classic!

xpost

― Kevin Keller, Saturday, 1 November 2008 20:52 (seventeen years ago)

the last song sounds a lot like "here." i'm blanking on the name. "i've been waiting. anticipating."

― Mr. Snrub, Saturday, 1 November 2008 21:01 (seventeen years ago)

pavement are my favorite band ever. it makes me a little sad to know that some people don't like them; there's certainly some aspect of their music that everyone can love. a lot of people complain about malkmus' voice (especially early), but i think that he does some fantastic things with his voice that don't really fall under the "technical" category.
i've never really heard anyone say that the guy can't write a tune, mostly because that would be absurd to say. i can see why some people would be a bit put off by his (to them) excessive ennui and laid-back style, but for me that just enhanced what i loved about him. also, the more time you spend with the records, the more you can appreciate the songs which aren't as obvious at first. i know he first time i listened to S+E, i didnt really 'get' it besides "here", which i probably put on repeat for 5 hours straight. once you get adjusted to that particular style, the other stuff starts to make sense. what might ostensibly be "self-indulgent" are to me fruitful exercises in his singular, genius style. to each his own, though.

― Kevin Keller, Saturday, 1 November 2008 21:04 (seventeen years ago)

“Embrace the senile genius / watch him reinvent the wheel” is about getting stoned and making music I just determined

― Heez, Thursday, 28 August 2025 16:36 (one year ago)

could be. "Getting stoned and making music" is reflexively a blunt summarization of pavement's approach to recording & performing the album prior, a "summary act" if you will, that malkmus perhaps felt he no longer needed?

― BrianB, Thursday, 28 August 2025 17:19 (one year ago)

sorry i wasn't reflecting on pavement's career here at all. just struck me as funny when i was stoned and making music. i do think it's a good metaphor for the creative process when you're baked though

― Heez, Thursday, 28 August 2025 17:54 (one year ago)

Yeah, I get it. I'm just not stoned (at work) right now and saw aopportunity to parse pavement lyrics instead of working. ;-)

― a (waterface), Thursday, 18 September 2025 14:21 (eleven months ago)

A little baffled by how short (not to mention unnecessary) this is—only 12 tracks?

― spastic heritage, Thursday, 18 September 2025 14:41 (eleven months ago)

Arbitrary track choices too. A bunch of "Hits" but also sporadic deepish cuts like Date w/Ikea. What is the point?

― Now read it backwards. (dog latin), Thursday, 18 September 2025 14:43 (eleven months ago)

the reasoning behind inclusion of "Ikea" is probably just "we should have a spiral song on here" ...

pretty pointless release, but I guess they just want some more product.

interested to see what the upcoming shows are like ... maybe just more of the same?

Beggars/Matador probably realized having a greatest hits/best of collection that does not contain their ~biggest~ hit was a huge marketing miss...

so this short, attention-span-challenged collection fills in that gap.

― imperial frfr (Steve Shasta), Thursday, 18 September 2025 15:47 (eleven months ago)

if we're talking spiral songs, I'd take "kennel district" over "ikea"

― tylerw, Thursday, 18 September 2025 15:47 (eleven months ago)

but yes, this definitely feels like they're approaching the Hendrix-style legacy at this point, they should have named it "barrel scraping and depth-plumbing: strictly for the streamers" for more transparency

Is he really that casual about tunings? I find that a little hard to believe. That shit seems so complicated to me!

― tobo73, Thursday, 27 August 2026 19:17 (one week ago)

Well, he's used that strat since at least 1991... it's been rebuilt at least once. and like he mentions, the other guitars he uses are because people recommended them to him. amp/head-wise i know he was a huge ORANGE proponent for about a decade (97-07?) and he has a couple designer pedals but yeah he keeps it pretty econo. For the Hard Quartet he just used either the in-studio options or Matt's guitars/amps/bass.

― imperial frfr (Steve Shasta), Friday, 28 August 2026 01:00 (one week ago)
