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!

Live nation have a monopoly on venues unfortunately. And we manage ourselves thank u! I don’t mind paying a bit to the venue if we are using their services etc but anything over 10% is grift and greed!

next year. last time we played, we stayed in a hotel with a bunch of the bands. it was also the only time i met three of my favorite bands. all in one elevator ride.
“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.
at this very moment, i'm trying to re learn Texas Never Whispers (for the first time in 12 years)... and texting with the dude from Texas Never Whispers (who happens to play guitar in SS)! funny how life is...
The band heads to Europe in June and September with friends and special guests

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!

tonight (maybe for first time since mid 90's?) and it's gonna rock!
I don't really have any Albini stories other than seeing and loving Big Black and Rapeman and Shellac, but when he re-recorded IN COLOR, I knew he was cool! I think he called Pavement Grateful Dead at some point too!

or any gun control groups! This is madness! 90% of us think this is madness! Background checks and a ban on military weapons now! You gun nuts can go fuck yourselves!
This might get me in trouble, but I’m listening to Surrealist Pillow for first time ever, the computer said it was good to get to sleep. But it’s freaking me out!
Pavement en Argentina. Un sueño hecho realidad.

Next time you spend your $ on MLB, or even just root for your team you've rooted for your entire life, just remember that you're supporting a league that doesn't give two or even 10 shits about u.

Hey folks... Just put up some new and old items on my Bandcamp page. Thanks to those who've already bought, but this Friday it's Bandcamp Friday where we get the full percentage. I'll be putting up some old signed tour posters soon. Pavement ones too!
you might not know this. used to skate the local morada drainage concrete (pavement) ditches to 'women and children first'. saw them finally in 2007 in seattle! what a band! EVH RIP!
My parents didn't have many records when I was young, but they definitely had Bob Newhart records! I should've been a comedian instead of a rocker I guess.
i then said to my wife 'holy shit, this is like a post punk wet dream'! everyone laughed. cept for mes. he just grunted. but i know deep down, he liked that. or maybe not...
Matthew Zeek Harris left us last night. He was the best! He was my friend! Hell, he had many friends! Known Matt since mid 90’s Berkeley daze. We originally connected with music and our love for the Oakland A’s. He first played bass in Overwhelming Colorfast.
I know it's fun to go after dummies like ted and other gop douce bags who donated to nra etc, but the real change happens when our elected democratic leadership feels threatened by our voices. call em! end the buster
