Chances of Pavement covering Money for Nothing seem v low, another point in RTX's favour

Just listening to Accelerator and realising a) Reggie was pretty much quoting and b) RTX have some weirdass lyrics

The context - the first song of their second to last show ever - is almost beside the point.
i feel just the opposite - to me the context is everything in that video. it's a good performance, but SM looks so over it and ready to be done. he looks like a very tired driver doing anything he/she can think of to stay awake so as not to crash.

All that is evident in the performance itself though imo.

Playing guitar swinging around and behind his head at first as a bored joke, turning both times into a graceful trance; the way he sings, quavering and moving from eye rolling ("i know the medical world could knock you out") and belting it (the last "boys are dying on these streets"). Sounds like they're all walking a high wire.

trux is like loser rock or something thought, right? so they shouldn't win probably. jocks -vs- burnouts.
― scott seward, Friday, 1 June 2018 05:07 (eight years ago)
id just like to point out for the record this poll had high participation, was fun and educational and not weird

I'm jamming "Cats & Dogs" rn -- one for the underdog!

I maintain that Pvmnt is the best indie band in this timestream, while RTX is like something that crossed over from an alternate timestream - or something.
― i’m still stanning (morrisp), Friday, 1 June 2018 18:12 (eight years ago)

fwiw I commented "weird thread" initially because the commentary was so one-sided in favor of RTX and I found that surprising
― k3vin k., Friday, 1 June 2018 19:21 (eight years ago)
i voted in this! I felt emboldened by the abortion referendum!
― plax (ico), Friday, 1 June 2018 19:25 (eight years ago)
pavement suck!
it was fun, educational *and* weird imo

I didn't know, until this thread, how zealous RTX partisans are, makes me wanna do a deep dig to see if I can see things their way

Hagerty is top 5 guitarists for me.
― Οὖτις, Sunday, 3 June 2018 15:08 (eight years ago)

― i’m still stanning (morrisp), Sunday, 3 June 2018 15:21 (eight years ago)
I'm gonna guess shakey's other four as Lou, Verlaine, Hazel and...maybe the gang of four guy, how'd I do
― she carries a torch. two torches, actually (Joan Crawford Loves Chachi), Sunday, 3 June 2018 17:06 (eight years ago)

― you bet, nancy (map), Sunday, 3 June 2018 17:43 (eight years ago)
Other four? Hazel, for sure. Neil Young. Michio Kurihara. Maybe one of the founding metal guys - page or iommi or blackmore - for fifth.
― Οὖτις, Sunday, 3 June 2018 18:00 (eight years ago)

Pavement never shocked me. Good indie rock band but apart from a few songs I never loved anything they did, it was just like ok it's 1994 and yr a teenager hanging in central AK,you have to like Pavement. When I heard RTX it was like wtf is this it's doing many weird unexpected things oh and then putting out a 70's rock record.
