I’m making my way through the entire discography of Pavement. Nerdy nerd shoe-gazing indie music for nerdy English geeks and snobby slacker wordsmiths (and dorky history bookworms who have an affinity for the Revolutionary War and jangly rock with lazy riffs). Thick black rimmed glasses are a must while listening. A tattered sweater and/or ironic T-shirt optional.
Rock on.
P.S. Obscured by Clouds is Pink Floyd’s greatest album. You can have your Dark Side of the Moon. I don’t want it.
Oops, you clearly weren’t there back in the day. Pavement weren’t “gazing” (Wikipedia entry here; lame Forumosa thread started by yours truly [url=Shoegaze?
Funny thing about Pavement for me: I’ve always liked them, but I could never actually listen to a whole album in one sitting. It was always one or two tracks here and there that sufficed. Though I think their last, Terror Twilight, was their best. I could always listen to the first five tracks on that one in a row.
Terror Twilight was the soundtrack to the immediate post-9/21 era for me. For some reason I can’t explain, I found it soothing while the ground was rumbling beneath me in a tent outside a temple.
I really dig the band Mute Math. I heard thier CD last year and thought it was consistently good.
Excellent drummer, cool vocals, and very immersive songwriting style. They sound like they combine alot of eras from The Police, to U2, and Pink FLoyd.
Kind of a nice mix of stuff and the singer is talented.
I really like the singer, Thalia, and used to sing along with her cd’s a lot. I’ve been inspired lately to improve my Spanish againa and have been looking up some of my favs of hers online. I’d never seen the videos. I just had to share because I’m so impressed with this bra and this one seems down right lethal!
Those are two of my faves to sing along with, but the bras in the video were really inspired! Enjoy!
