steves birthday was a blast!!

steve is not so about sex drugs and rock and roll like most people think.. hes a mellow guy, so it was just a family and friends deal. we went out to this mexican food restaurant and when somebody mentioned it was his birthday all the waiters sang 'happy birthday' in spanish!!

i wanted to sing along but my spanish is not very good. i learned german in school.

:cool:You nailed it, though I don't have brighten.
Wowee Zowee fucking rules, best Pavement album.

Inhuman is sad enough to want to be me. Pfft.

I also heard that there were a lot of drugs involved, at least on SM's part.

sm was just robo'd.

As in that cough medicine stuff?

I still think Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain is the best.

Slanted. I love Wowee Zowee though.

oh fuckin hell!!!!!!!!!!!!


what a poll??? what a decision to ask of a man after been in the pub all night...

drunk as i am i know the answer, it has to be





hands down






























wowee fuckin zowee

Wowee Zowee was the last Pavement album i got, and i just dont like it as much as the others. I think its scattershot charm exerts itelf well in the first half but the songs become less and less appealing as it goes on. Slanted is a concise thing, Wowee Zowee seems like Slanted stretched out further than it needed to go. Theres a good 4 or 5 songs id cut from Wowee Zowee

Slanted, no contest. Wowee Zowee is so fucking inconsistent, and reagardless of it having some of my favourite Pavement songs (AT&T, Grounded, Half A Canyon...) it's totally messed up and inconsistent. The sequencing is terrible, as if it was just put on shuffle with a bunch of silly first-takes of joke songs.
Whereas Slanted is fucking perfect!

There's more filler on Slanted. Well, at least more filler that I dislike.

its all about serpentine pad for me, especially the amped up live version,
so i had to vote for wowee.

there's no filler on slanted, it's perfect.

slanted is PERFECT

Yes, it is.

Are you mad? Are you ok?

A big thank you to Matt Picasso for originally sharing these unreleased, live Malkmus tracks (and then later re-hooking me up after I promptly lost them.) The sound quality on these is fantastic.
The following nine tracks are culled from The Jicks January 20th gig in Portland during this past winter’s tour. I was at the tours kickoff show at Bimbos, in San Francisco, a couple of weeks prior, and the place got nuts. Malkmus strolled on-stage sporting a straight up bandito mustache and led the band through an improvised, fuzzed out, jammy two hour set.
**To see said Malkmus ’stache — and the band performing “Pencil Rot” — that night, click HERE. You can also catch a bit of Janet Weiss killing the drum kit.

I try to avoid threads about bands I don't like. But I need to ask something: Pavement were rubbish, weren't they?

It's all Malkmus' fault. He's an annoying prick. They should have been an instrumental band.
