Kiddies Sing Pavement

With the influx of indie rock kids comps and Bops, it was only a matter of time before little ones started changing road trip sing-a-longs to hepper fare ... but Pavement's "Stereo" en route to karate class? Wowee Zowee!

Cute overload via Witz. Wonder if they live in Portland?

Who can blame the kids for getting the words wrong? I've been listening to this for 10 years and still don't get them right.

I think the kids might enjoy singing something else more. Get those kids a Beatles album!

Is it just me or are some of Pavement's songs just the absolute best to sing along to?

I sure miss the Pavement guys...

Pavement R.I.P.

This is so great. I want these kids. Seriously. They could be my body guards and serenade me with awesome music.

Kids...I like Pavement, therefore YOU will like Pavement. Then, finally I will be cool to the cool kids at Stereogum.


Pfffft. Learn to say ''infrastructure" morons.

Whenever that old staple comes up - 'Which band would you like to get back together so you can see them before you (or they) die', I always say Pavement (and Faith No More). I didn't get it at the time, but there is hardly a bad song amongst their entire oeuvre. If only more kids would listen to them and less to American Idol or whatever....

Band To Watch: Hospital Ships

As we pass saturation point for press coverage of Montreal, Portland, Brooklyn and et cetera, it seems Lawrence, Kansas is poised for its coming turn in the music media trend piece carousel. At least from what we're hearing; this marks...

Quit Your Day Job: Ungdomskulen

The Bergen trio Ungdomskulen play proggy post punk, mixing chops and hooks with a sense of humor. But they don't sound like Primus. When I was in Norway a couple years ago, "Ungdomskulen" seemed to be on everybody's lips (or...

Premature Evaluation: Beck - Modern Guilt

It's been some time since we learned Modern Guilt, Beck Hansen's eighth album, would be some sort of psych rock minimalist '60s trip with Danger Mouse. Since then, we've gotten a look at the old-school jazz/Blue Note-style cover art and...

Damien Jurado - "Murderer" (Low Cover)

After hearing "Gillian Was A Horse" from Damien Jurado's forthcoming Caught In The Trees, we contacted the Seattle singer-songwriter and asked if he'd want to premiere a track at Stereogum. Lucky for us (and you), it turned out he had...
