I don't know pavement very well, so i can't really comment on how they ripped off the fall. But what irritates me and keeps coming on this board are statements like "originality is overrated", "everybody rips somebody else off". Well I think i have to disagree partially. I don't think originality is overrated. Of course everybody has its influences, but i think the real question is, how manifestly you show, that you are influenced by this or that group - unintentionally or not. And based on experience i can say in most cases i don't like these bands. Assumed that i know the "original", of course!
Again, i don't want to accuse pavement of ripping of the fall, it was more a general statement.
