Right, so I'm probably making a trip down to the record store tomorrow. Tell me what to get.

Emaline · « **Reply #1 on:** 20 Aug 2007, 00:19 »

I actually have their lastest album downloaded. I do still want to buy the cd, but honestly, I think I'd rather have Cat Stevens.

Go buy a Psychic TV album.

Err, I just clicked the wrong thing because I didn't read closely enough to notice that Pavement was on there. I guess I shouldn't vote on anything important any time soon. BUY PAVEMENT!!! I love Pavement. Also, buy Say I am You by The Weepies. That is, if you like that sort of thing. I do.

Anything but Cat Stevens.

Cat Stevens is a wussy hippy, all peace trains and moon shadows and strained father-son relationships.

Get some Dylan instead.

Emaline · « **Reply #5 on:** 20 Aug 2007, 01:11 »

I have tons of Dylan, and I love him and everything.

But I am also a big wussy hippy who loves Cat Stevens. I can't help it.

Ishotdanieljohnston · « **Reply #6 on:** 20 Aug 2007, 02:34 »

No, i think you should get some more dylan.

Get some Beatallica.

No, seriously.

Madlib. Now. Go.

JIM YOSHII PILE-UP!

I've been liking them lately.

I think you should get some John Fahey. You'll thank me for it later.

Pavement are a good band.

I would start at 'Crooked Rain' though. I got the first record and it didn't click for years.

I have Crooked Rain.

I pretty much have at least one albums, or the pieces of some albums by each artist listed. I was pretty much looking to expand my collection. I probably should have said that.

I think you should get Wowee Zowee. That was my first Pavement album. I loved it right away.

No, seriously.

I don't even know what this is, but I'm gonna assume it has something to do with Metallica. I really dislike metallica.

You should tell me your name, because I feel odd calling you Betty. Anyway, I thought about buying that one. I've heard it a number of times, and I have a friend who is in love with it, so I'll probably end up buying that album, if I buy any Pavement.

backstagebetty · « **Reply #14 on:** 20 Aug 2007, 11:02 »

Heh, yeah I figured I would get called Betty eventually. Wouldn't bother me, but it's not my name. My name is Jeanine. Like Juh-neen. And I get called Jeannie a lot(which sucks).

Anyway, Wowee Zowee is a pretty long album. I like long albums. They make me feel like I got something extra for free. Hope you enjoy it if you pick it up.

Alright....so I'm really bad at using laptops with touch-pad mouses (mice? does it count if it's in the body of the computer) and I voted for 'something completely different'. However! I am also a big wussy hippy...so count a vote for Cat Stevens. Go for some Nick Drake too, if you haven't already.

Tehz · « **Reply #16 on:** 20 Aug 2007, 17:44 »

Go get yourself some Pavement, son.

Crooked Rain exists in a fabulous reissue, with dozens of extra tracks (yeah, literally dozens).

Don't get this reissue if you haven't heard it first. Find the album unadorned and if you like it buy the expansive reissue. Same with the other reissued records.

RadioElectric · « **Reply #19 on:** 26 Aug 2007, 17:00 »

I got Pavement's "Slanted..." last year after hearing all the hype (granted a little late).

Summer Babe is a nice song, Zurich is Stained is pretty good too, but to me it seems like they've got a couple of Velvet Underground songs and run them through a grungulator.

On the slightly off-topic of dissapointing albums, did anybody else get MBV's Loveless, adore it, then get Isn't Anything and find it almost unlistenably embarrassing? I don't know, maybe it's a serious grower.

Kai · « **Reply #20 on:** 26 Aug 2007, 19:08 »

Isn't Anything is pretty much dreadful with the excepion of like 4 songs.

So you'd basically decided before you started the thread.

Emaline · « **Reply #22 on:** 27 Aug 2007, 00:24 »

I hadn't decided, but there wasn't any Cat Stevens, or Justice to be had in the store. I ended up buying Pavement, Cursive(It was a cd I had lost), Belle and Sebastian, and The Smiths. The guy ringing me up was all excited about everything I was buying.

THESE FORUMS NOW CLOSED (read only)
