totally rocked my world! forever engraved, the middle part of the opening song: "Come on now, talk about your family Your sister's cursed, your father's all but damned you Silent kid, don't listen to your grandmother's advice about Ezra Silent kid, don't listen to them"
"There were some big concerts, like Roseland" - I was at that Roseland concernt (Oct 1994). It was indeed crazy. Guided By Voices opened with Kim Deal joining them on stage for a song or two. When Pavement took the stage it was complete pandemonium. Most of the crowd clearly was just there to "mosh" and go crazy - when they started "Cut Your Hair" they surged to the stage. It was nuts. I was actually somewhat scared for my and other's well being (some large "bros" were swinging around bashing against petite teenage girls). I can understand why Malkmus would freaked out by that.
Over the last 20 years this has become probably the most important album in my life, in so many deeply personal ways that I have stopped talking about it openly because i end up sounding whiny and boring to all the "who the fuck is pavement", or "I cant stand pavement" people. This is a shatteringly beautiful masterpiece.
One of my favourite records of all time, i have my CD signed from all Pavement members in 2010 reunion tour, is amazing is still fresh on this days since 1994!
caught him twice at the 40 watt, first on pavement's final, terror twilight tour, and then again on the jicks' first tour, where I met him after the show and he was WAY nicer than he could've and probably should've been, shooting the breeze with us goofy teenagers and signing some merch. but didn't they come out with a deluxe crooked rain reissue like a decade or more ago, because I'm looking at my copy right now... which I bought even though I already had it all on bootlegs ssshhhhhh
Finally got to see them in Amsterdam during their 2010 reunion tour.........that show was the soundtrack of the my journey through the 90’s........love this band, still do in 2021. Oh, and Malkmus’ got great hair!
i started listening to pavement for the first time last year after another band mentioned that we kind of sounded like them. since then i learned that we aren’t even close to as talented but i take it as a very high compliment and i’ve loved pavement ever since.
Aw man I still love this album, I saw you guys tour it in Edinburgh way back in 94 or 95. Stop Breathin is a classic. I love how you can sound shambolic yet amazing at the same time, reminds of the way Tom Waits sounds sometimes.
Record just blew my mind when I got the reissue. The creative jangly songs just sounded like what those years probably were like in the indie scene. I was just a kid when this was all about. Never knew indie rock existed only fm radio was all I had like Soundgarden and nirvana.
I once called Gary Young on the phone, pretended I was Thurston Moore, and got Stephen’s phone number. I swear that happened. I couldn’t call him anymore after he moved to France or wherever it was.
The first time that I heard Pavement, I think: woa! What fuck is this? They had a different way to express the pain and love, and isolation, I Remember that year, april 95 because I lost my best friend on drugs, Malkmus is a very particulary songwritter from the 90's, different from others, contemporaries in fact off the alternative rock music, creator of stimulate lyrics and melodys,
They followed it up with an REM covers EP and then Wowee Zowee, so that was probably why, because they were being referred to as “The smart Nirvana,” so people knew.... Malk said they sold 250,000 copies, and not 750,000, because of the label not being able to market and distribute it in the same way that a major would, and he also said that was the difference between being Weezer and being Pavement
It's always been my favorite album because it really matched if not surpassed Slanted and Enchanted, which was a monumental achievement. In fact, I love Slanted so much I refused to even listen to Crooked Rain for at least 6 months after it came out just knowing I would be disappointed. I was wrong.
chrisocony - I do like them all, but Brighten the Corners is my Go-To...then I listen to Crooked Rain & I’m reminded how good they all really are. Those were good times for young me & for Rock n Roll. So much was happening along that time period, compared to the early 2Ks to present, IMO. I get in to the Jicks records, too. I guess I’m just Pro-Malkmus & buy everything he releases.
Great interview but who edited this? I never got nausea from watching Blair Witch Project like a lot of people did, but the incessant camera angle changes every 3 seconds in this made me need to hurl. This is not MTV, bruh.
Saw Pavement in Lowestoft, UK in about 1995. They weren't playing there or anything, they were just sitting on the seafront throwing hot chips at seagulls.
I know you guys probably heard that before.. but this guy's band caused some serious damage on the evil plans laid at that time by corporate warlocks to rob the then decade of the 90's of its best sounds. They fought good, their efforts shall not be forgotten, although, unfortunately, the %¨&*6%% warlocks did take over about a decade or so latter, causing aesthetic deafness to billions of people. Since on the topic of fighting the %¨&%$¨ warlocks of aesthetic deafness, we should put the word out that their aim was not to simply replace the former masters sound-crafters with former disney channel starlets or the many and lesser developed clones of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes. Their real ploy was to make people slowly believe they like stuff that nobody in their sound mind would possibly like. And that, my friends, is the geneses of fake news, right there.
Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain to me is just a warm up for Wowee Zowee. I don't much like "5/4 Unity" (I'd rather listen to Paul Desmond's tune), "Heaven Is A Truck" (rather listen to "Range Life"), or "Hit The Plane Down" (Scott's worst song).

thanks for this. You are a prince.

Literally, as opposed to metaphorically
Yeah I can actually see him vibrating... Like literally..
@@jnnx I will never trust Boyz II Men ever again.
I think he has the hiccups too lmao
he's living the range life
He’s settled down
Absolute legend & criminally underrated guitarist

Masterpiece. Can't believe my age has doubled since it came out.
So you're 52? Thats about my dad's age. Wish he listened to cool bands like this

I'm old and tired. I just like hearing him talk about it. Dad, they broke me, lol.
Hold up if Stephen Malkmus and Matt Sweeney are friends, why the hell isn't there a guitar moves with Malkmus yet!??!?
fhudge Yes, need this!
Matt: Wanna do guitar moves?
SM: No, I’m good man. Thanks.
Been thinking the same thing for a while since I saw several pictures of the two together
Because the internet isn’t the world
Matt Sweeney played on his last album, Traditional Techniques.
Take out ordering freaks always run the best studios. Malkmus knows what's up.
I played this album so many times while traveling in the 90s. Now it's like traveling every time I hear it.
this record still sounds great & somehow new to me. ‘Brighten the Corners’ is still my favorite.

Malkmus is honest music! Love
Bumped into him in a bathroom on that first Jicks tour. Gave him the cool guy nod, he reciprocated.
"the cool guy nod"?? is that hipster speak for felatio??? you cottager you!
Stephen is the goat. Cute, nice, always putting awesome personal and special music :)
I love their 1st drummer utter mad man. Met him at their gig in Manchester UK.
The Plantman!
Gary Young did handstands was middle-aged just awesome
“Remember the Buzz Bin?! Was hoping to get in there.”
Bailterspace getting a shout out. Nice one Malkmus!
They opened for Pavement on one of the legs of the CR tour
best album ever

the dark side of the moon comment was (another) stab at billy corgan who called mellon collie and the infinite sadness the wall for generation X
Thank God it was sarcasm. Otherwise what a douche.

Saw him with the Jicks on the Pig Lib tour and it was completely BRILLIANT
Love that album!
The most sarcastic man in history.
but he means it, man
Great album. Range Life is still my favorite song.
Love you stephen
“Slamming” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great album. Funny how they didn't have more success though.
For an indie group, they went very far.
They followed it up with an REM covers EP and then Wowee Zowee, so that was probably why, because they were being referred to as “The smart Nirvana,” so people knew....

W yea r
They were very successful.
They could have left Matador and maybe had more success, but what would be the point. They got to do what they wanted with very decent success.
Don't worry. We're in no hurry.
Goodnight to the Rock n Roll era, indeed.
Mitchell Hughes nope.
Bobbin' Williams hope.
Saturated Neō Wax hope.
Just had to point out that it was recorded in pre-internet Williamsburg.
Great album !!!
We did have the internet and we did have message boards that talked about Pavement all the time, but who cares about computer nerds
AOL Pavement message board and Stanford mailing list REPRESENT
Back in those days, it was all about Echo NYC.
Yep, just ask Phish!
The days of Usenet 😉
best album of the 90s
It's amazing how apathetic he sounds talking about one of the best bands of the 90s.
why? what happened with him and pavement?
@@FelipeScaff I think Steve just ghosted them.
That's just how Malk is all the time.
@@jeffbrown-hill7739 yeah I was gonna say, you should have seen him in the 1990s
this man is old enough to be my father but he is still endlessly attractive to me
Sounds like you have some soul searching to do maybe...?
That's creepy...
just give him the cool guy nod, he'll love it
It was such a great record when it come out.
great album
Oh god the cuts on this, stop! Or screw it, just change camera shots every word, just seizure town USA.

OMG am getting old.
Needs more camera cuts
1994 will live forever in famy (opposite of infamy)!
why does the camera gotta change angles every 2 seconds? So distracting
Forever slouch.
anyone else feel weird about how nonchalantly he talks about replacing his drummers, im a drummer myself
is it possible to like Pavement & the Eagles? yes it is.
As the Dude says: "I hate the fucking Eagles, man!"
What????? 25 years?! Oh Fuck.
stooooned
