Mercy Snack and Baptist Blackstick rule. Westing is definitely my favorite Pavement album. Thurston didn't invent singing the notes, people have been doing that forever. At the top of my head, Black Sabbath's "Iron Man". See every prog band ever doing it at some point. Haha. I think it sounds really boneheaded and ridiculous in
that case and some of Thurston's attempts at it are silly (especially since he does it in SO MANY SONGS), but a lot of bands do it well. See Deerhoof for example. It's not some amazing, mindblowing thing (not saying you think it is).
