ha I went to that free Stooges show, but then I didn't have tix to Pavement.

Pavement should reunite every 10 years or so, until they're elderly dudes sitting on stools and playing acoustic "Zurich Is Stained."

Hey, it’s really happening (sort of?):
It’s official. We’re getting back together for two exclusive concerts in 2020. See you next June at Primavera Sound in Barcelona and NOS Primavera Sound in Porto! pic.twitter.com/FQeS1HODpI— PAVEMENTtherockband (@pavement_band) June 1, 2019

My wife sez ppl on FB are throwing fits that they’re not playing more shows (U.S., etc.).... Whatcha gonna do? Nice quick payday/vacay for the guys (and maybe there will be more to come...)

glad he's trying out some folkier moves — I always liked this solo "No More Shoes"

i think people *are* going crazy for it.
it's just a small number of people that care what SM is up to.

Sounds great on first listen. Surprising.
― nostormo, Friday, 6 March 2020 16:03 (four years ago) link
i haven't listened to this so can't really vouch for it yet but it's a 90-minute convo w/ SM so it seems like it's worth posting:

Not sure if this has been shared on any of these threads, but it will hopefully be of interest to some.
~88 SM and the Jicks live cuts from 2001-2005, with their own songs and a ton of covers.

digging into that today and it's a treasure trove! the "yellow"/"here" mash-up where he seems to switch between the songs at random in a response to a request for a pavement song lmao

I guess logically it doesn't make sense, but it does seem like something Malkmus might say. Impressive levels of music nerdery here for 1993, before everyone could easily listen to everything.

I suspect David Berman actually wrote this. The Teddy Roosevelt quote is the giveaway

The taste is much closer to Berman's than SM's too (Butthole Surfers, David Allan Coe)

The Berman theory is a really good call… given a few references in there especially, it absolutely tracks with other stuff he’s written.

in that Jicks Picks thing just above ... track 38, "Andy Will" ... does anyone know anything about that song? i don't recognize it and Googling hasn't helped.
maybe it's a Jicks album track incorrectly named, i don't know all the post-Pavement titles. maybe it's a cover? an SM outtake?
― alpine static, Thursday, 20 April 2023 07:29 (one year ago) link
it's either a cover or an outtake. i've never heard of it
― a (waterface), Friday, 21 April 2023 15:13 (one year ago) link
i couldn't find a thing about it, which is hard to do
i like it!
maybe i'll ask on the Pavement Reddit or soemthing

Seeing Malkmus solo tonight in a tiny club in Portland. The club livestreams shows on their Instagram page , and a local station is livestreaming it as well. Guessing he'll be on around 9:30-10 p.m. Pacific.
