Could be a very good thing. I'm gonna let myself get very excited about this.

Perhaps a good time for a first visit to NYC?

It would be good to see them again.

Cool, but hopefully something more comes of it. Playing for a few thousand people in New York isn't really reuniting.

that's true. But it's a long time between now and 9/21/10, and I think there's got to be more coming!

This will be called off as soon as I send Steven Malkmus the withering call that Tom and "a listener" had about his solo album.

His solo stuff is garbage. He needs Spiral to even him out.

Like I said in the chat last night, I'm not interested in a Pavement reunion unless Gary Young is involved.

Please. He did two albums with them!

Gary Young loyalists... psssh.

I would agree that his first solo album is garbage, I dig his other records.
I really like Pig Lib.
I am an unrepentant fanboy I guess..

That would be great. Hell, I'd take another solo album from Mark Hollis, that first one is so good.

I think all of Malkmus' solo albums are above average and a few of the songs rival Pavement's best, like Jennifer and the Ess Dog, Do Not Feed the Oyster and It Kills.

For those who minimize Gary Young's contribution to Pavement, I can only say as someone who saw them with Gary a bunch of times - including some of their first shows - Gary Young was AWESOME. He was like a comet, streaking through the sky; not meant to last forever but brilliant while it lasted.

Tom.

I like Steve West a great deal. He was the drummer on my favorite Pavement album, Wowee Zowee. But he's no Gary Young.

On his best day, Steve West couldn't have come up with anything this great.

arguably my favorite band since... 1994?  i was lucky enough to see them a few times, but i don't think they were the end-all, be-all live band.  some nice moments, some good early bootlegs here and there, but i'd argue their best moments were on the cds.

or records, if you will.

anyway, i'm not getting worked up about the reunion, be it a one-off or otherwise.

Anybody remember the 1993-1996 Pavement fan site, "My Heart is Made of Gravy"? That was my site!

Good times.

What are the chances they don't play a single song from Terror Twilight.

Hey, cool! I had forgotten all about it until I heard Mike's interview with Kevin Smith, when they were talking about how web-based message boards were a new thing back in 1995. Once I put the message board up (just a raw comment box really) it only took about a month before it became a tight little high school social scene and I had no idea what anyone was talking about.  I sorta lost interest in the site after Wowee Zowee came out (lazy stoner music!). When I quit the company I was working for the site died 'cos I forgot they were hosting it. I felt really bad I let the folks on the chat down.  Dear internet: I'm sorry. I'm sorry I let you down.

Back in time, I was also a Pavement superfan.  Howso, you ask?  Sure, they were my favorite band.  Of course, they were a seminal moment in my cultural/aesthetic development... but it went way beyond...

For one, I was involved with the creation of the first Pavement (email) mailing list.  (This was in the beginning of 1994.)  For those who may remember, this was the one out of Australia that is now offline but is still linked via the Matador Pavement page.

I also wrote my first ever fan letter to the address listed in the liner notes of Slanted&Enchanted (and received a reply!  Anyone else do this?  Care to guess who wrote back?).

I was on that list! I remember there were a fair number of kiwis and aussies on there.
