"Went with 'kennel district'" - must've thought I was voting for best? But apparently didn't vote anyway.

Who'd have thunk that one of the best rock albums of 2017 would be by this guy? What the shit happened?

Hmmm... I watched a video all the way thru, the subject matter being Scott at a laundromat interacting with some ķinda tough-guy guy, and the song I found only mildly interesting, very much of the quality I expected from the first PSOI record which I never heard. I remember that what the song lacked in melody, it made up wits a charming, spare, idiosyncratic instrumentation.

Hold on, people actually think Date with Ikea's the worst one here? That's one of pavements best songs

Yeah, "Doris and the Daggers" is really good!

Two States is the most ludicrous and painfully obvious Fall rip ever put to tape. At least that I've heard. He should be ashamed of himself. It's one thing to let your influences show through, but that thing is truly next level. In the worst sense. No wonder MES hates them. Though really that's not so hard to do and they've plenty of company. Still...

date w ikea is good!

yeah Date W/ Ikea with 3 votes here is the new worst thing on ILM

(i would've voted for Your Time To Change)

"Fame Throwa" and "Conduit for Sale" are huge Fall ripoffs too!

yeah Date W/ Ikea with 3 votes here is the new worst thing on ILM

This times infinity. Those responsible should come forward to be fp'd properly. Huge song.

Hmm tbh I can't even remember how any of these songs go apart from Kennel District and Date W/ Ikea which I do like. I guess I don't like Spiral Stairs' songs much.

"Date" is a highlight on Brighten for sure.

After like seven times of suffering through "Hit the Plane Down" (when I was too lazy to skip it), I started liking it in that bizarre Stockton Syndrome way that sometimes happens with songs. (Phone auto corrected Stockholm, but seems appropriate to leave it)

I've got a version of Plane taken from a scratched-up CD. Holds up pretty good!

Hear it for yourself!

"Stockton Syndrome" would be a great title for a Pavement bootleg

Yes Shrub you are correct. But Two States even mentions "the north" ala the early mes cliche and a woefully affected vocal approximation. I do like the intentionally ugly guitar solo though.

Sorry, Snrub. I meant. F-ing pad changed it on me.

Give me a moment to relish the irony of Kannberg autographing a copy of Terror Twilight (of all possible Pavement albums) and selling it with digital copies of his solo record on Pledge Music.

echoing love for Date with Ikea, beautiful song. much needed break from Malkmus

lol finally listening to Doris. i like!

had a chance to see him in a small club back in june but bailed at the last minute. regretting that now.
