favourite pavement lyrics? I like the one about being told off in front of the over-friendly concierge. The lyrics never mean anything, but Malkmus makes them sound so good.
it gets said a lot but pavement really did have terrific b-sides; give it a day, easily fooled, harness your hopes for me they count as 3 of their best tracks.
probably one of my favourite b-sides ever. Other favourites Hands Off The Bayou, Perfume-V, Trigger Cut, Pueblo, Filmore Jive ... too many basically.
They're one of those bands that have such perfect signature sound that it's always just so satisfying to listen to them, no matter what mood I'm in they make it better
... other than that We Dance, Gold Soundz, Shady Lane, AT&T and Grounded would probably be all lumped together for me. Along with loads of others. Too hard to choose!
So glad I saw them on their last proper show (Manchester, 1999 - I hear the Brixton one was pretty sucky and they never got through the whole set)
"Praise the Grammar Police, set me up with your neice
Walk to Baltimore and keep the language off the streets
Well I'm of several minds; I am the worst of my kind
I wanna cremate the crutch, I know you're my lady -
But phonecalls could corrupt the morning
Heed the surgeon's warning - Pillars of Eight!"

Fin.
that weird guitar solo on Fin slays.
Father to a sister of Thought, Space ghost 2, Gangsters & Pranksters, oh whatever all of their first four albums are perfect.
Christ, such an amazing band.
Wish I'd seen them a couple of years ago.
Elevate me later
Range Life
Top band, so glad I saw them on the souless money tour a few years ago.
Gutted I didn't.
I had a ticket for that, but didn't go in the end: remembered I hate souless band reunions (thanks, Pixies).
Saw them a couple of times first time round though, so it's all good.
"My New House"
or maybe "The Classical". Oh wait...
Seriously though, it's "Cut your hair".

I, I III
saw you, reeling in a parking lot
She's so lackadaisical
What about the voice of geddy lee?
How did it get so high? I wonder if he speaks like an ordinary guy?
I KNOW HIM
AND HE DOES
Then you're my fact checkin' cuz ~~~
And the hood so rad and I'm fucking glad
Out on tour with the Smashing Pumpkins
Nature kids, they don't have no function
I don't understand what they mean
And I could really give a fuck
Well, I've got style
Miles and miles, so much style that it's wasted
Lies and betrayals, fruit-covered nails
Eeeelectricity and lust!
Maybe eyes
Eyes in the socket
Eyes in the socket
So I'm gonna sock it
Write it on a postcard
Dad, they broke me.
Maybe, someone's gonna save me
My heart is made of gravy
When it's central, so essential,
It has a nice ring when you laugh
At the low life opinions
And they're coming to the chorus now...
Kennel District
give it a day
it gets said a lot but pavement really did have terrific b-sides; give it a day, easily fooled, harness your hopes for me they count as 3 of their best tracks.
In the Mouth a Desert
AT&T, Pueblo, Frontwards, Elevate Me Later, Grounded, Stop Breathin, Painted Soldiers, Kentucky Cocktail, And Then (The Hexx)
^ This, came here to post In the Mouth a Desert
At one point my band was comprised of three people who had attended Pavement's last ever show
in Brixton in 1999.
We joked that this would be the criterium for new members joining. Not a very funny joke, I'll grant you.
It's Stereo.
Yeah, sorry you indier-than-thou fucks. :D
(Or maybe Rattled by the Rush, if you like an amazing guitar solo.)
That said, my favourite album is actually Terror Twilight.
Probably Stop Breathin'
Range Life
for definite
Mussle Rock - where's the Spiral Stairs love guys?
probably one of my favourite b-sides ever. Other favourites Hands Off The Bayou, Perfume-V, Trigger Cut, Pueblo, Filmore Jive ... too many basically.
They're one of those bands that have such perfect signature sound that it's always just so satisfying to listen to them, no matter what mood I'm in they make it better
I like
Fillmore Jive
Oojim was right, it's Grounded
Though Gold Soundz and Trigger Cut come a damn close second.
And Fight This Generation a runner up (especially a live version), Amy Blue covered it here:
http://amyblue.bandcamp.com/album/pavement-ist-rad
Fight This Generation
is a great shout.
Debris Slide
its Gold Soundz
Perfect song. The rests good too tho. Rang Life & Stop Breathing
^ This
It's definitely Gold Soundz, guyz.
</thread>
oh man, Gold Soundz!
How has it taken this long for someone to mention it! I'm changing my answer to this.
...wasn't aware of said song
:)
Shady lane
summer babe
is pretty perfect
I have listened to this song...
so many times.
Shady Lane for me.
Just for the lyrics. Some of my favourite ever, including :
'Freeze, don't move
Youve been chosen as an extra in the movie adaptation
Of the sequel to your life.'
'Glance, don't stare
Soon you're being told to recognize your heirs'
So much semantic depth.
Grounded and Fin also rank high if we are just talking musically, and I also love In The Mouth A Desert.
Stop Breathin' for me
also Gold Soundz, Trigger Cut, Shady Lane and Ann Don't Cry.
i was dressed for success, but success it never comes..
"Here" is such an incredible song.
oh gosh yes!
and the Tindersticks cover is brilliant: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxlwn3wPwcY
Listening to Quarantine the Past now
and I think it might be my favourite best-of of all time.
so so good. brings back so many memories.
Not that it's their best, but how has no one mentioned Here yet?...
... other than that We Dance, Gold Soundz, Shady Lane, AT&T and Grounded would probably be all lumped together for me. Along with loads of others. Too hard to choose!
So glad I saw them on their last proper show (Manchester, 1999 - I hear the Brixton one was pretty sucky and they never got through the whole set)
Someone did mention Here right at the top so ignore me...
C'mon people
the answer surely is Box Elder: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZfMW7VjqgU4
Summer Babe
& Trigger Cut
Opening of a debut album doesn't get much better than that does it?
Grounded
and Embassy Row
Starlings of the Slipstream
Is one of my favourite songs.
And I put a spy-cam in a sorority
Darlings on the splitscreen
My favourite Pavement pun.
Major Leagues is my favourite Pavement song
Unusual for a band's best song to be on their worst album, but there you are.
lovely song
Terror Twilight has its moments, .. and Carrot Rope too.
Unseen Power of the Picket Fence
Westie Can Drum
God I love Pavement. Saw them before they split at the Barrowlands and then again when they reunited.
AND THEY'RE MARCHING THROUGH GEOR-GIA!
what a band
I think their best song is Frontwards.
But you're all correct with your other answers too, such is the quality of Pavement.
disagree with this so much
definitely a varying quality in the albums.
Speak, See, Remember
You know if we could we'd sell the air!
I guess I agree about the varying quality.
As in, for me, Terror Twilight isn't as good as Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain.
But I would still class Terror Twilight as a quality album. I don't think Pavement really have had a 'low point' in their output.
either Flux = rad

Carrot Rope
Transport is Arranged

Ahhhhhhhhhhh! Ah-Ahhhh! Fucking magnificent.
PAVEMENT ARE ONE OF THE MOST OVERRATED BANDS OF ALL TIME
Cat amongst pigeons time....
Pavement fans are well-adjusted grown ups, kostenurky.

respect
I wasn't trying to troll...
How refreshing to see somebody show maturity and restraint on an internet forum.
Restraint?
I'm in your house right now, pouring petrol everywhere.
No one disses Malkmus and gets away with it.
Potentially.
It took me quite a while to actually get into them, then one day they just clicked. You can still be overrated and very good at the same time.
