    Fans of 90's lo-fi geek-rock, join me in giddy excitement at the news of Pavement's reunion!
    No news yet of any UK dates, but it's gotta be on the cards, right?

    Actually the best news ever.

    I saw the rumours yesterday, and almost cried with happiness. :D

    World tour confirmed too, they've gotta come to the UK. Hopefully a Glasgow date is on the cards, but I'd gladly travel down to England to see them.

    BTW, for any gamers looking at this in confusion, this is like the Shenmue 3 of music.

    Fucking awesome!
    Pavement were one of the best live acts I have ever seen.
    Now I just hope they make it to Europe.

    Wow weird. I keep trying to watch those videos, but I keep passing out within about 5 seconds of the music starting.

    Does this mean no more Stephen Malkmus solo albums? I only really liked his first one, to be fair.

    +1 I thought his first album was brilliant, (Have you seen the fan made video for Jo-Jo's Jacket, which was so good it became the official video ?). Rapidly lost interest from the 2nd album on though.
    My sister got us tickets for a SM & the Jicks gig later in the year, this reunion news has kinda taken the shine off of that.
    Still, he his one of the best guitarists around, so it's always a pleasure to watch.


    To answer your question, this is apparently just a reunion, not a reformation.
    But who knows what those contrary kids will do?

    I got Pig Lib for a pound in Fopp. It's really good.

    When they do proper pop songs with melodies they're second to none. I think Gold Soundz is one of the best songs ever for example. As is Major Leagues. However, when they fuck around tunelessly (80% of their tracks) they're unlistenable.

    Talk about songs that slap a big grin on your face.

    The gigs in Central park make me want to cry in desperation.
    I'm sure there will be a few UK shows seeing as SM loves the place so much.

    Freaky, hadn't heard this news and was listening to ( and massively enjoying ) Crooked Rain Crooked Rain this morning.

    Great band.

    Pretty much confirmed that they're going to do a UK tour next year, probably including Glasto.

    Hmmm, not sure about the Glasto tip...
    "but we're not going to do anything stupid, any big festivals that are really dumb."
    ...unless they're just messing with our heads, man.

    Last time I saw them, was the last time anyone did, at Brixton. My one and only real claim to indie history-witnessing...
    There's an easter egg on their DVD of footage of Malkmus snapping a pair of handcuffs to the mike stand a declaring "This it what it's like being in this band" or something to that effect.
    Was a weird gig iirc.
