Terror Twilight has become my favourite Pavement album. It's just so comfy and pleasant to listen to.
Xavier Rodriguez
glad people are coming to realize how good terror twilight is, my favourite pavement record aswell
Leo Sullivan
Same reason Neutral Milk Hotel did it. They're good hardly anyone has heard them outside of their home country, and I'm not sure how popular they were there.
Samuel Rogers
Yeah, I can't get into that one.
I actually wanna say rattled by the rush. Solo career, pretty much anything off of Real Emotional Trash.
>Start the most ripped off band of all time >Spend your career just south of mainstream success because of your caustic personality >Shit on everyone around you and all the bands that ripped you off while releasing new materiao for 40 years straight >Drink yourself to death
Mark lived a perfect life
Xavier Anderson
>still get eulogized by the press you constantly lambasted
he was definitely based, though I love the fall and pavement pretty equally
Isaiah Price
His book is also a fun read. Been thinking about re-reading it recently
They're both great but Mark was on another level creatively in my opinion. One of those once-in-a-generation people.
Daniel Cruz
pavement obviously sounds like the fall, but stephen was an actually talented songwriter
Isaiah Stewart
I've never actually listened to the fall. Should I? Afaik, it's really only Pavement's early stuff that sounds like them, and CRCR onward is way different
Is there any chance it doesn't get canceled because of virus panic?
Jackson Long
these are also amazing. theyre equal for me now that i think about it.
Dylan Howard
DEVO: >Based Chads >Did spud things >played lollapalooza and won over a crowd of Metalica fans while in the hot sun wearing their DEVO suits >wore cool hats >had cool videos >Mark fucked Debbie Harry >Partied with Bowie
Pavement: >look like stoned college losers >early recordings sound like shit >had a weirdo drummer who scared away the bitches >no cool hats >played lollapalooza, couldn't win over the crowd, and, assblasted, they left the stage >wore faggy rain coats (probably trying to be DEVO)
If anyone actually has an interview for that pic, I'm curious to actually read it
Jaxon Cook
>artist puts out really good album >lol ok im done listening to them now
cringe
Tyler Wright
I always forget that Mussel Rock is a Kannberg song.
Jordan Nguyen
Sparkle Hard is awesome
Groove Denied is a 5/10
Traditional Techniques is a 2/10

I saw Stephen Malkmus at a record store, meet and greet show in Portland. It was him solo, so he just had guitar stuff, and a laptop. Showtime came, and he ran out from the back, grabbed the mic and yelled "HEY HEY MUTHAFUCKAS!" Everyone just thought he was being funny and clapped. You'd think the laptop would play backing tracks, but it was the studio album, with recorded guitar and vocals, that he sang and played over. The whole time he was doing all these cringey rockstar poses with clichéd frontman banter like "YEAH PORTLAND!" I think he was high; by song 7 he was pretty wobbly, and sounded like shit. Then, mid track, he laid down on the ground, rolled over to a table, guitar still strapped to his body, and yelled "YO COME HERE IF YOU WANT YOUR SHIT SIGNED!" Everyone was uncomfortable, but most went up to the table. He was a mix of cagey and avuncular. The girl before me told him how "Slanted changed her life," and he just grunted. I got my stuff signed and left. Later, I realized I'd lost my glasses and had to go back . Luckily they were there. Malkmus was still there too, packing his gear. He saw me and lit up. "Hey I remember you!" Then he walked over and started making small talk, completely normal, asking me about my job. "Sorry, I was in a weird mood earlier," he said, "I want you to have this," and he handed me one of his pedals. I told him that it was too much, and I don't play guitar, but he said "Don't worry, I have a shitload of these things! See?" And then he hucked one of them at the wall, hard enough to make a dent. I said thanks, and he hugged me. At that point, some lady in a van, who I think is his wife squealed to a stop out front, rolled down the windows and screamed "STEPHEN GET IN THE FUCKING CAR!" "Welp, that's my ride," he said "Later loser! Haha J-K!" Then he sprinted to the car, and jumped in through the window. Then he lit a joint, and did this howl like "AWOO-WOO-WOOOOOO!" as they peeled out. He left all of his shit behind
