Back in '99, when @pavement_band needed some B's for the Major Leagues EP, I went out to Gary's place to record these two tracks with him. His drumming was so spot on and inventive and jazzed we could make this music after all the years apart! @matadorrecords

“It’s just The Fall in 1985, isn’t it?, They haven’t got an original idea in their heads.” this is what the late great MES said of pavement when asked. i never found fault in this. i think it was his way of liking us. what a profound influence on our band.

On Jan 17, 1989 Pavement recorded it's first 7" in Stockton, CA. On the same day, someone walked into Cleveland Elementary School across town and gunned down 30 8 to 9 year old kids, murdering 5! Weapon of choice? A semi automatic!
