all the old people on thumped think they are better then music in general, i was introduced to them pretty late and saw them live a week ago and they sounded bland to me. one mans rubbish etc... basically they are a collegey band that make great sense against the early 90's and sound a bit like they arent trying, which i think is supposed to be the point. never try.

i think i was given slanted and enchanted or something.

 

[Milker]

Yeah I'm not hearing anything new and they sound like I'd ignore...still it was a nice tune to drive to on a warm, late evening.

 

[worthit]

They aren't anything new. They wrote all their music between 1989 and 1999

 

[Lili Marlene]

If you get excited about them you're doing it wrong.




Which says a lot actually

 

[Vinnie]

They're the sound of baggy
corduroy pants nonchalantly starting to
flare.

Pavement? Had a couple of deadly albums, Crooked Rain is my favourite. Saw them live back in the day (TBMC I think) and they weren't great live then either

Quarantine the Past compilation is the best introduction but Slanted and Enchanted is their best album. Saw them live twice - not a great live band but not car crash stuff either.

If you like that tune, then you'll probably like their Wowee Zowee and Brighten The Corners albums. Everybody bangs on about how great Slanted and Enchanted is (and it IS good) but I think it makes more sense if you heard it when it first came out. I started at Brighten the Corners and worked backwards, so BTC's has a special place in my heart. awww

It sounded as pointless then as it does now.

One of my all time favourite bands! if you liked Range Life, you're probably best off picking up Crooked Rain Crooked Rain as that's the album it's on. It's also one of their most popular and accessable albums. From there you will have the joys of working your way through gems such as Wowee Zowee, Brighten The Corners and Slanted & Enchanted etc.

My favourite and the first Pavement album I owned, is Terror Twilight but I think I'm in a minority there.

 

[chutneyfarmer]

yes Jonah. Yes you are.

 

[Lili Marlene]

My favourite and first and ONLY pavement album I own is Brighten the Corners.

and by 'own' I mean, one side of a C90. I think foo fighters were on the other side.

 

[mark]

pavement are ok. they're no mumford and sons though.

 

[chutneyfarmer]

or Cast.

 

[rettucs]

leave fucking Cast out of this. They rock

I heard young people have shorter attention spans all right. Yeah there is a best of ... it's called Quarantine The Past. Came out this year ... it's deadly.
