I'm one of those odd people that really liked a number of the Spiral Stairs songs that Pavement recorded, espeically Date W/ Ikea, Painted Soldiers, Your Time to Change, Stub Your Toe and Hit the Plane Down.
So I was really looking forward to this Preston School of Industry album, the first one, All This Sounds Gas. But it hasn't really grabbed me yet, at least not the majority of the record. I've liked most of the songs from the solo SM albums, but I just can't really feel the vibe of PSOI. However, two songs have really stuck out. Falling Away and A Treasure @ Silver Bank. These two songs are incredible. I keep listening to those two over and over. Whalebones is alright, it'd be a lot better if it was shorter and had a little more going on.
Is Monsoon any better? Maybe it will just take time for me to get PSOI. Afterall, it took me many years to get Pavement.

I hate to say it, but the egoanic in me loves to name drop... Steve West, the drummer for Pavement on their last few albums, is my producer.
I love the way that sounds...
sorry
forget me, I hate myself

The reason I ask that is because someone on FB.net said they lived down the road from Steve West. I can't remember who it was.

After I read LBF's post I was going to ask the same question, TarTar.
-
Didn't someone else say they lived down the way from Max Weinberg?

Steve Malkmus from Pavement thinks Max Weinberg is a complete prick.

What did Max Weinberg ever do to Steve Malkmus from Pavement?
-
I had (still have?) All This Sounds Gas.
Don't think I was ever able to get through it from beginning to end.
I did like "Whalebones"

Malkmus basically just said he finds Max to be conceited and snooty. I can't remember exactly what he says, but it's on the commentary track to the Cut Your Hair video on the Slow Century DVD.

All I know is that a couple? of em (from pavement) like playing the ponies, and they have moved to the neighborhood outside of Churchill Downs in Louisville to be closer to their obsession.

Parlour is good too. http://www.parlour.net/ (beware of the Flash)
And Evergreen supposedly got back together. At least, they played a reunion show, which we missed...which sucks.

Evergreen? I'm thinking of the Echo and the Bunnymen album.

The album that is famous for the bands name being spelled wrong on the side of the album. Echo and the Bunymen.

If a thread doesn't go off topic, I feel weird.

Ideas of fires and solitaire are cool songs off that album to.

I haven't listened to the album in awhile, I dug it though. I think I prefer Malkmus' solo stuff. PSOI and the Jicks both sound like what you'd expect from a band fronted by their respective leaders, I just can't help but think that they'd be better back together. I'm sure it's not far off too, everyone else is fucking reuniting and those guys don't seem to have real beef with each other.
