Pavement
 

Anyone here Like Pavement??

Besides the fact they spawned an entire movement of indie-rock clones and practically redefined the word 'indie' itself, yes. There has to be some subliminal message here that is steering me towards malkmus and the jicks.

Yeah but i noticed a few posts on them but not one on pavement

possibly the most important indie band of the 90s. shame their career was so short. malkmus & the jicks are a quality band. dark wave in particular is on par with most pavement material.

Who's career was short? - Pavement's? There first album, Slanted and Enchanted was in 1991, but they were gigging around Oregon and northern California from around 1989 and the last album of theirs I bought, Terror Twighlight, was in 1999. In the intervening 8 years they released: Westing, Watery Domestic, Wowee Zowee, Crooked Rain, and Brighten the Corners. So I wouldn't say a short career. TBH I haven't heard much of Malkumus' stuff, but I enjoyed a decade of Pavement! :)

How can you not like a band with lyrics like these - "Show me a word that rhymes with Pavement. And I will kill your parents, and roast them on a spit."

Pavement rules.

Liked about a quarter of their output

The rest of it was wanky indie bollocks

Yeah, Slanted and Enchanted is awful for that. Some of it is great though. Think they stick too many tracks on an album, and they start lacking in quality.

is one of their albums 'brighten the corners'?
then i know them..

I've only heard one song - All My Friends. 'Tis alright...growing on me.

I like Pavement. Don't think they started all the 'indie' stuff off though. You know, you can look at bands like Dinosaur Jr, Guided By Voices & The Flaming Lips too.

Hear hear!

Good times, good times. Well, I actually only have their remastered album, Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain, but I love them still the same.

I have a good friend whose hair I just adore. When he was getting it cut, I freaked out and decided to get mine cut too. Later, he brought up Pavement's "Cut Your Hair." ****ing aww.

derailment rhymes with pavement

No it doesn`t

u reckon

Just discovered this band this year. Gotta say instantly became one of my favorites of all time. Slanted & Enchanted & Terror Twighlight would be my favorite albums.

Yeah slanted and enchanted, terror twillight and brighten the corners are kick arse albums

Superb band - love Slanted & Enchanted (even more the Luxe-Reduxe reissue). Saw them live in 95 or so and loved it.... Saw Stephen Malkmus 2 years ago at ATP as well and was very good. Wish he didn't have such a big ego though as then Pavement would still be together...

bump.

Pavement is great. Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain is my favorite album. Theyre right up there with Dinosauar Jr. for me.

Shady Lane is by far my favorite song.

Urban, you're way too picky. :(

Slanted And Enchanted is great.

I love crooked rain, my fave for sure

Enslavement rhymes with Pavement.

You must hate your parents.

In any case, I only like Slanted and Enchanted. I also have Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain and Terror Twilight, but I don't particularly like either one.

But, Slanted and Enchanted is amazing.

A classic band for all indie lovers.

On my mp3 player I have Greenlander and Range Life, but that is all.

Anyone have suggestions for other Pavement songs I could download?x

Cut Your Hair, Stereo, Here, Shady Lane, Summer Babe and Fame Throwa are my favs.

others to check out are Range Life, Elevate Me Later, Gold Soundz, Unfair, Newark Wilder,

My friend downloaded the song Conduit for Sale earlier, I enjoyed it immensly - the vocals were just cool as. Im gonna be checkin out more pavement songs.

^Range Life is a pretty awesome song, and i'd recomend the albums wowee zowee and crooked rain, crooked rain

I look into it, man. Thanks.

I just got Slanted and Enchanted like 3 days ago and I've been digging use, caught it used for like $9. I reall like "In the Mouth a Desert" and "Fame Throwa"

excellent band i've listened to for years and they never get old. i would have to disagree on the statement that they started the indie scene too i think you've gotta be pretty young to say something like that. i dig all their stuff and think they are an example of a band who evolved nicely. i never really got into malkmus' solo stuff though.

I've been digging Wowee Zowee a lot more lately.

Pavement..
 

Anyone out there a Pavement fan?:wavey:

Cool, I'm only on this thing a few mins..

Still trying to get my bearings..

You should make an intro in 'Introductions'.
You'll find it in the 'Lounge' section.
