Medley of songs from Pavement’s first reunion gig last night. The part where Malkmus starts off “Gold Soundz” all shaky and a cappella is my favorite because it seems the most spontaneous and stupid, but in the back of my head I know it was probably rehearsed. That, combined with the fact that I’m going to at least one of the shows anyway, sums up my thoughts on the reunion of my favorite band.
Bonus: Normally-intolerable Klosterman writes decent piece on Malkmus for GQ. The best part is when Bob Nastanovich claims that the easiest way to get in touch with Malkmus, even about Pavement stuff, is to propose a fantasy basketball trade and include your question in the email.
I finally got around to watching this (you know, work avoidance leads to Catching Up on the Internet) and now I am a little bit more excited about the prospect of seeing them this summer. I’ve heard all of these stories about how Pavement was always terrible live, but from this clip it seems like it’ll be a good time.
