Pavement - Range Life
Pavement - Range Life lyrics...
"Out on tour with the Smashing Pumpkins Nature kids, i/they dont have no function I dont understand what they mean And I could really give a fuck." Whats the story behind this? When did they tour together? What was the deal... |

Welcome to the 90's
I can't believe people bring this shit up like it still actually matters. Malkmus laughed it off in an interview a couple years ago and also said he enjoyed Zwan's first single. I don't think either of them really care anymore. |

Their is an audio floating around with Pavement covering the first couple bars of 1979, and then he starts laughing. Rumor was Billy was in the audience.

some things about malkmus to consider despite the fact that at times he has sounded like a 'jelous little asshole':
he has stayed true to his roots he hasn't put out an 80's sounding album hes never gone on tour wearing a black leather dress |

Malkmus has also covered "Today" in Cologne, right after "Interstate Love Song" (Remeber that the lines after the ones quoted here are about Stone Temple Pilots).
He always made fun of musicians who act like huge stars. I can't imagine that he would take any of this seriously. |

I give credit to Malkmus for staying fresh after all these years. I think all three of his solo albums are quality (especially Pig Lib) |

I've always thought they were kind of boring....slacker is a good word I think. They never really got my blood going at the end of the day.

but i really think the "slacker" thing has been blown way out of proportion. listening to how diverse crcr is and how much they grew with each album, i really don't think the whole slacker label was warranted. i just think people thought it sounded clever, so it stuck. |

as for the slacker thing.....I think that the music just sounds very lacking, like they are slacking off hence the slacker tag. Yet as people? no. You can't be a slacker and tour successfully tour year after year. Ah Cherub Rock, one of the reasons it's among my favorite pumpkins songs besides the whole guitar onslaught is the fact that it makes fun of the indie scene. |

Pavement sucks, Malkmus as a solo artist sucks. Pig Lib does have a couple catchy songs, but overall, the musical life of Stephen Malkmus is bland to me. I also love how any indie band that plays one lofi sounding chord in an album is instantly grouped in with "Pavement inspired" bands It's lo-fi people, this shit is not as distinct as say, Pink Floyd's sound was back in the day. It's fucking lo-fi. |

I do not like Pavement, I think they have too much music that is not of a high enough quality to realese on albums.

i guess i'm in the wrong place to defend Pavement. But they definitely wrote some of the catchiest tunes of the 90's. Yes, they weren't trying to "wow" anyone with walls of sound or pretentious album themes. they just focused on writing good quirky tunes with witty lyrics. But why am I wasting my breath anyway?? On a message board where bands like Tool are praised, Pavement will not be understood.
