I don't wanna come off as an ass, which I may, but I don't see why it was entirely necessary to include Mark Ibold on this tour. Not to slight him, I'm a fan of Pavement, and I nearly shit myself when he made his guest appearances on STRANGERS WITH CANDY, but why do the Youth need him exactly? Is it really necessary for any of their songs to have a double-bass line? They did just fine back in the day with Thurston on bass and Lee on guitar, while Kim did her own thing.
