Pavement!

Trasher02 · 03.14.2007, 01:58 PM

It took me a very very long time to get into them but I finally did it.
So my question is: Which album should I buy first? (I don't own any Pavement album yet, I know it's a shame.)
BTW Danny I'm looking in your direction.

king_buzzo · 03.14.2007, 02:09 PM

hmm i only listened to 2, slanted enchanded and woowe zowwe or whatever they were awesome.

03.14.2007, 02:13 PM

Quick!Somebody close the door of this thread with these two trapped inside it!

k-krack · 03.14.2007, 02:14 PM

Get Slanted & Enchated (one of my favourites of all-time) first, followed by Crooked Rain, followed by Wowee Zowee. The rest, whatever order is cool.
Chronological for the first three, I says.

Silent Dan Speaks · 03.14.2007, 02:14 PM

I've heard slanted and enchanted, crooked rain, crooked rain, and wowee zowee.

I think crooked rain, crooked rain is my favorite. Filmore Jive rules.

afterthefact · 03.14.2007, 02:45 PM

I agree. Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain. And make sure it's LA's Desert Origins. It has good "B-sides, singles, and other free-floating music from Pavement's "Crooked" days."

Amazon is much better with words than I am.

Trasher02 · 03.14.2007, 02:46 PM

I was thinking of buying Slanted and Enchanted first then Crooked rain.
But since they both appear to be good I'll just order them both.

afterthefact · 03.14.2007, 02:50 PM

couldn't hurt...

Rob Instigator · 03.14.2007, 03:22 PM

If I were you I woudl start at the very begining and get WESTING BY MUSKET & SEXTANT first,

listen to spiral stairs' and S.M.'s lo-fi noise freakouts, then get Slanted & Enchanted

and rock that shit homie, then go and get Crooked Rain Crooked Rain, which is their first truly "mature"
Pavement album,

and fucking fall in love with it. Then get woweee zoweee

and brighten the corners.....

fishmonkey · 03.14.2007, 03:57 PM

My favorite Pave album is Wowee
followed by Terror Twlight.

sun city girl · 03.14.2007, 04:01 PM

slanted first, then westing and crooked rain.

auto-aim · 03.14.2007, 04:01 PM

I thought cut your hair sucked - so ive never got into them. However I did really like "Here", I think the song was called. So i dont know - anyone want to convince me?

Yes, I do.

um... LIKE THEM! LIKE THEM NOW!

did that work?

Rob Instigator · 03.14.2007, 04:09 PM

cut yr hair is a great song, and sounds nothing like any other pavement, which is why they released it as a video first. to drive away superficial people.

Darlin' don't you go and cut your hair
Do you think it's gonna make him change?
"I'm just a boy with a new haircut"
And that's a pretty nice haircut
Charge it like a puzzle
Hit men wearing muzzles
Hesitate you die
Look around, around
The second drummer drowned
His telephone is found
Music scene is crazy
Bands start up each and every day
I saw another one just the other day
A special new band
I remember lying
I don't remember a line
I don't remember a word
But I don't care, I care, I really don't care
Did you see the drummer's hair?
Advertising looks and chops a must
No big hair!
Songs mean a lot when songs are bought
And so are you
Face right down to the practice room
tension and fame's our career
career, career, career

Rob Instigator · 03.14.2007, 04:10 PM

Parfum V is my favorite pavement song

Nearly !

SpectralJulianIsNotDead · 03.14.2007, 05:52 PM

I went

Brighten
Crooked
Wowee
Slanted

marleypumpkin · 03.14.2007, 06:01 PM

No matter what you start w/, you can't go wrong. Pavement is just that good. But that's my opinion.

You are? Sheeee-it.

Knowing your musical tastes, Trasher, I'd reccomend you start with Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain. The deluxe edition is pretty cheap so I'd get that. That album would ease you into them. After listening to the second CD of the deluxe edition, I'd go on to buy Wowee Zowee. Deluxe, of course. Then Brighten The Corners, Terror Twilight, THEN Slanted and Enchanted + Westing.

That isn't the order I bought the albums in, but I believe it would be the best order for you.

Danny OUT.
