You guys, this is not news.
“Hysteria” is–and always will be–a masterpiece.
I’ve said it for years, and I said it formally quite awhile ago.
Relax, put your legs up and take comfort all ye nerds.

Branding Better songs After-Bennett.

No one really cares about Billy or the Smashing Pumpkins-
not even Chicago, which says a lot when you’re a successful midwestern ‘artist.’
I’ll take all the old Pavement tunes over any new SP songs every day of the week.

Anyone not knowing Pavement or where to start, and for those with true love for the gang;
read more here at Sock Monkey Sound dot com, a N. Illinois podcast that shows no love for Billy. ; )

5 questions, 15 opinions, a live reunion summary each = a bunch of words about Pavement! By nerds that love Pavement, not Beely & the Pumkins! Beely! Beely! WHAH GO BEELY! WHAH GO BEELY!
Ahahahahhaaha.

Beely est knot rad!

It’s a pop song that will haunt me for decades, until I’m dead in the ground. It’s that great of a song. It gives me chills, I never want it to end. It reminds me of the feeling I had the first few times time I heard “Last Goodbye.” Every time I listen to that Buckley song, same chills, 16 years later. This song, has that power.
I went as far as writing a confessional review about the entire record for a great, indie, N. IL podcast.
