    Boy were they wrong, i loved wz... i first saw them in 92 backing sonic youth in manchester, doing slanted. It's an awesome record, not a skippable song on it. One of those that towards the end of a song youre sad its over but happy for the next. I dont often do books or movies twice, but wowee zowee is always on the possibilities on the car play list and sometime i'll take the scenic route just squeeze it all in.

    I mean don't get me wrong all Pavements records are good... but it blew my mind people didn't notice that this record, IMO and all time top five, was a masterpiece. There are 3 songs on this that if you ever do one of this you can die happy. Three of them. And everything in between is just your regular wonderful song bc why settle for less.

    Love pavement but man it's true the lollapalooza set I saw (Mass) was my first chance to see'em and it was a heartbreak. The sonics, the vibe, just sounded puny and annoying and terrible compared to the other acts. On the other hand they sounded fantastic in small clubs - killer show on the Brighten tour a few years later.

    I always understood "slacker" as referring to the audience more than the band. Like "skate punk" or "stoner rock" - not that the people making it couldn't also be skaters or stoners (or both), but I just always assumed that the classifier applied to the plurality of the fans.

  • @garagejapanese5012
    @garagejapanese5012 4 ปีที่แล้ว +15

    Bob, be honest. When you were interviewed by Lewis Largent with Malkmus, what really happened? Please do a video on that. I could tell you were trying to really control the vibe and Largent looked really uncomfortable while Malkmus looked like he wanted to punch Largent. Give us a video.

    • @ohfoolishworkerbee
      @ohfoolishworkerbee 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I had to google what you were talking about - Malkmus has been open that he was very shy/uncomfortable on stage and dealing with the press, but my god, that was the most insufferable "How do you do, kids?" antagonistic assclown I've ever seen fake his way through an interview about a band he clearly knew nothing about. Can you blame him?
