I can't sing it strong enough.: September 2010
http://pavemoresongs.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 21, 2010. One night benders - no matter the drug - used to be a ton of fun, but I was never really sure why. You would eventually hit a point where all you want to do is pass out, be left alone, and wake up in your bed as if nothing had happened. Then, it all hit you like a ton of bricks. You shouldn't have had that last drink or eaten that mushroom. This rock 'n roll lifestyle is old and not really that rewarding. So, you want out. You wanted to pass out on the couch. My Impression No...

I can't sing it strong enough.: July 2008

Tuesday, July 8, 2008. The saying "Ignorance is bliss" holds a lot of truth. If you're not aware that anything is wrong, about what you have to worry? If you're in the dark, you don't see imperfections. Ignorance truly is bliss. There is no worrying about the world if you're not aware it has any problems. It's almost freeing to be so worry-free. Fun fun fun, fun for the summertime blues" and "it's gonna set you free.". What could ever have Pavement so carefree, without worldly worry? You Are a Light.

I can't sing it strong enough.: October 2008

Monday, October 6, 2008. If Pavement ever had a "hit," this was it. "Cut Your Hair" was Buzzworthy. On MTV and even received decent radio play from commercial stations. If there was a quintessential Pavement song, I'd also argue that "Cut Your Hair" earns that title as well. Honestly, this was the song that introduced me to the band. The third verse comes with a full-on attack on sell-outs. Buying songs and legitimacy is bashed. Image is pummeled by superior songwriting while the song unravels in...The s...

I can't sing it strong enough.: Speak, See, Remember
http://pavemoresongs.blogspot.com/2010/01/speak-see-remember.html
Wednesday, January 20, 2010. Speak, See, Remember. Breaking up is hard to do. You avoid it. You try to paint the breakup as a chance for new opportunities. No matter how you dance around it, it's inevitable. It will suck for one or both of you. There are no such things as good breakups. Pavement had their breakup over. Sure, there was a tour following, but it was a goodbye tour and. Was their goodbye album. I don't know how it affected the band members, but I know it was rough on the fans. Music From a B...

Thursday, February 11, 2010. Well, I've got style. So much style that it's wasted. Where is style most wasted? Where is individualism crushed? Yep I'm talking about the suburbs. Any distinction between families, homes, personalities is squelched in the conformity of good schools, tract housing, and SUV's. Misrepresented by Zac Early. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Tuesday, July 27, 2010. Gold Soundz" is a relationship song. The relationship is new and fun in the beginning. He trusts her with secrets and likes how she laughs at the ignorance of others. He gives her space, but he likes that she's empty like him, etc. Alas, it can't last. Remembering past transgressions drums up some hurt feelings, possibly even revealing new deceptions. There's a quick about-face. Secrets are taken back. A couple of other thoughts. The phrase "quarantine the past" appears in this tr...

Wednesday, May 14, 2008. An old school punk rocker measuring just over one minute and complete with unintelligible lyrics and piano banging, "Spizzle Trunk" demonstrates the inner-rocker within Stephen Malkmus. SM would go on to a solo career where he'd experiment with a similar aesthetic in his live shows.and throughout his most recent album, sans the youthful punk ethos. The spizzle is for the sound. The trunk describes the curmudgeon. Album: Westing (by Musket and Sextant). Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Friday, February 13, 2009. If Spiral Stairs, aka Scott Kannberg. Had written this post-Pavement, one could easily make the argument that the song's about Stephen Malkmus. It's no secret that Malkmus. Ruled the roost when he fronted Pavement. SM dominated the songwriting duties throughout the catalog. Kannberg. The other songwriter in Pavement, was relegated to the occasional track and soundtrack submission. The opening line explains Kannberg's. Place in the band perfectly: "That's all you're singing now?
