neat. I'll have to check that out later

i'm almost 100% sure i have a pavement cover of expressway to yr skull, I'll check when i get back to uni

I have them doing Wonderwall. Malkmus says something like "We're going to do this song in hopes that it never gets played again."

The 1979 is pretty good. I thought Pavement and Smashing Pumpkins didn't like eachother or something...

Haha, yeah, sort of.

From wikipedia:

"Another single, "Range Life," was infamous chiefly for lyrics which seem to criticize alt-rock superstars The Smashing Pumpkins and Stone Temple Pilots. Malkmus has insisted over the years that the line is meant to be light-hearted and timely, sung from the point of view of the aging hippie character in the song - later live versions of the track had the singer substituting "Stone Temple Pilots" for "The Spice Girls" - but it only cemented the band's reputation in the mainstream as hipster snobs. Billy Corgan, leader of The Smashing Pumpkins, retaliated by demanding that Pavement be banned from playing (as they had been scheduled) during the 1994 Lollapalooza Festival, of which The Smashing Pumpkins were headlining. [9] Corgan and Malkmus would trade barbs through the press for several years after."

god billy corgan is a fucking douche

dude this site is boss. thanks.

yeah Billy is a douche...
on the Pavement "slow century" DVD, Malky is asked after the "range life" video about the Smashing Pumpkin line, he simply replied..."it has nothing to do with their music, its much more personal"
Pure Class! long live Malky!! Death to the Crappy Pumpkins..

Yah, the 1979 cover is prety catchy...i like, i like.

Niicee. Pavement Is't Rad, I really miss them. I love 1979, and Kudos for you

I like The Smashing Pumpkins. When I listen to Siamese Dream or Adore I get a nice, cozy feeling, like its warming my heart or something. I just love it. I dont see why everyone gives him so much crap, hes actually a very nice person (at least to his fans, and thats all that matters imo).

I remember downloading (EDIT:Terror Twilight ) or whatever and feeling really dissapointed with it so I dont like Pavement.

Marquee Moon is Television though.

oh, oops my bad. I meant Terror Twilight (I think thats what its called) MM and TT, big difference...

A lot of people seem to not like Terror Twilight so much. That and Brighten The Corners are my favorites.

WORD

Now, I didn't listen to the pumpkins when they were around (got into the a year too late) but I don't think he was a douche. No more of a douche than the rest of the world...

It has been proven that he is a douche. They found the fucking wrapper.

Yeah, after he shaved his head it all went down hill. I loved them since Today was a Buzz video (I still love that shit). Early Pumpkins rule though, Jimmy Chamberlain is the man.

its a rainy day, sunshine girl... class song.
thanks for linkage!
