Seriously. . . the little "hateful teenager that is really into themself and generally hateful of everyone and everything" act isn't cute.

oh, I'M SORRY that i'm not catering to your specific whims and fitting the archetype of the perfect sweet contrite sweater wearing indie rock girl you've dreamed up in your head. i'll try harder to please you, i promise.

i'm NOT influenced by other artists.
pavement can go ahead and reunite for all i care, but they still suck.. that's just, like, my OPINION, man. apparently i have to fucking censor myself and not be a smartass when 90% of the time i'm fucking joking anyway in order to please other people, which is something, in case you haven't noticed, that i'm not too concerned with.

so, just so i don't waste any of your precious time, to sum up what i've just said? you, sir, can fuck off and take your false perceptions of me elsewhere.

Yeah, this is pretty much what I would have said.

You really shouldn't say shit about a great band like Pavement if you can't do anything better yourself. I don't know of any other band who had so many songs and at the same time made each one of them different and amazing. Maybe GBV.

Anyway, enough with the sourness. It's getting old.

how do you know i can't do anything better? you've never heard anything i've composed. so YOU can't really talk shit about me can you? it's all subjective anyway so who cares?
please just accept the fact that i don't like pavement and i never will and get over it. please accept the fact that i am sour and cynical by nature and i always will be and get over it.

[ZEROpumpkins]

You can't do better because you're obviously too busy hanging around here whinging.

[Cantankerous]

ooookay, whatever. forget that i have two albums worth of shit in the can that i've done in the past two weeks.

[ZEROpumpkins]

So you have the quantity, but do you have the quality?

That response just so totally reinforced my negative stereotype of you.

Sorry, but I don't have a sweatered indie rock chick fantasy, and I don't begrudge you for not fitting any mold, I really couldn't give a shit.

Yr conceited and pretentious little act has just been getting really annoying as of late.

If you are joking 90% of the time to please people, doesn't that make you incredibly concerned with pleasing people?

[ZEROpumpkins]

You're also no where near as charming as Pavement, Cantanky.

i'm not joking to please people. sorry, that's just how i am, like it or not. it's not an act, i AM conceited and pretentious and i don't take shit from 22 year old virgins.

I know people with very good taste who hate Pavement. I'm not a fan myself as I actually don't think they're groundbreaking at all (their sound is too much drawn from The Fall and Television for me and their "fucking up" of songs on purpose annoy me). I just like a few of their songs like Here or Fin.

[Toilet & Bowels]

i'm no fan of the pixies, they're pretty boring if you ask me. and i couldn't give two hoots if pavement reunite.

[ricechex]

I don't come round here too too much, at least not to post. i usually just read. But i do come round when i hear people talking Pavement. I just do. Cuz i love em...esp S.M. for how brilliant he is. yeah, I put em up there with Pixies, early REM. and the mighty SY. SM is a true songwriter, more than most of the heavyweight big bands out there..

I def don't understand comparisons to Fall and Television. They sound completely like neither. Mark E Smith is lucky to grab one melody per tune for Gods sakes. Try putting that boy on an acoustic next to SM and you'll see what i mean..

[the ikara cult]

Theres a sense of inevitability about this, its clearly going to happen at some point. I personally think its a good thing if they reform no matter what they do, theyre one of those bands where i like everything they did (Yes, even Terror Twilight), and im not old enough to have seen them play originally.

I love both bands, but look it up and youll see what people mean.

Yes, but perhaps only b/c it would expose naked talent.

[toxic johnny]

It all depends how you define talent. I don't dislike Pavement but I find Mark E. Smith to be more interesting than Stephen Malkmus...

[Toilet & Bowels]

yeah, also because mark e smith isn't a guitarist. maybe to make it fair we should make them both play the tuba, and see what happens?

[screamingskull]

they will play London and it will be like £25 a ticket, plus £39 for train fair each way, and about £75 for hotel accommodation, all in all it won't be worth it.

i saw SM & The Jicks a few years ago, it was pretty good, but everyone in the audience was wearing plaid, which was a little distracting.

[sonicl]

I can't say that a Pavement reunion is something that would affect my life either way.
