PAVEMENT to reunite...

Hey, does anyone actually give two fucks about "how far back" anyone of us goes with Pavement?  Jesus christ, it's the most annoying boring bullshit I read on this board.

ha…i go way back with pavement… ;)

maybe the ones who bought their central park tickets are the hipsters…(only going because everyone else is, not because they actually enjoy listening to pavement :-*

YEAY!  i totally needed that box in hipster catch-phrase bingo!!!

My hatred of Pavement goes all the way back to 19 fucking eighty-eight.

Now THAT'S some street cred.

Also, can we retire the word "hipster", or at least get a board-approved working definition?  So far, I've figured out that you're a hipster if you like a band with hype.  Or if you hate a band that's hyped.  If you like a band that's not hyped.  Or if you have a band that's not hyped.  I think as long as I listen to mainstream radio I'm safe. 

Julian, you're the best wordsmith here…care to take a stab?

AWESOME:

1) i hope a lot of scalpers get stuck with tickets, so i can pick one up on the way in for half price,

2) i hope they add a fourth show on friday - more likely yo make that one

Sweet looks like you got your wish a fourth show has been added

Why don't they just play the whole month now  ;D

these shows are a YEAR away… i'd feel nervous buying tickets for something that far in the future, with a band known for its volatility.

like i said, i'm holding off.  i don't even know where i'll be next year and how feasible it will be to catch this show in NYC.  i'm counting on others being in the same situation so i can get tickets from them.

i got a ticket to the tuesday night show along with a pretty big group of friends. the same group of us also saw superchunk too :) most people i know are die-hard pavement fans who got tix, but most of you would prob throw us in with the hipster crowd too.

assuming im in nyc, im going to make sure im working at summerstage on some of the other dates as well. a win/win for me! :D

Apparently there will be another reunion.. can't say it is a surprise really.. but I will be happy to catch a Pavement show or two…

Yesterday was the 25th anniv of S&E and I was hoping for some news like this…I'm going to fanboy the fuck out again.

Hell yes. I actually meant to post about S+E yesterday as well.

Sign me up! Sounds like a natural Anthem show to me!

Edit: I wouldn't count on another reunion any time soon. These rumors are always floating around but Malkmus is too busy doing… well, nothing.

well.. maybe not soon..but definitely within the next two years I'd say… its not a rumor as much as Spiral Stairs saying they've agreed to do it..

I think Spiral has as much influence over the reunion as I do.

Malkmus will need the reunion as much as the other guys soon.. the last few times he's come to the DC area he's played very small shows.. Did he even sell out the Black Cat last time?

I don't think we'll see any Malkmus solo or band action til next year

not gonna happen til next year at the earliest..probably the year after that..

I think being realistic the best fans can hope for is that Spiral Stairs brings his tour to the east coast in a few months and plays some small place…and that Malkmus decides to take a break from being a stay at home dad to record later this year and tour next year…
