Anyone as excited as me? Tickets on sale today at 10am US time for their first show in Central Park next September.

Are they playing here?

Next September? Crikey, they intend to stay together then!
I love a bit of Pavement.

The only date is the one in NYC so far but pretty sure they'll be doing a 'world' tour from what I can gather off the geek websites

I'm not too exicted. Always felt their music to sound a little pedestrian.

Good news – great, great band in their day. First three albums are right up there with the best stuff of the 90s.

Saw them a couple of times mid 90s – first time supporting Sonic Youth in Manchester and they were awesome from what I remember. Second time headlining (I think) at Brixton academy, after the first drummer left.

Now all I want is Soundgarden to get back together.

simon – a dad's joke! 😉

Oh My God!
I just wet myself, thats the best news I've had all week!!!

ooo, Brighten the Corners and Wowwee Zowwee have been getting played a lot of late (in their double cd format…) on my mp3.

cool!

Carrot Rope, Cut your Hair… that lot?

Pile 'o' shite the first time round…

nickc = fool

agreed

I almost wet myself when I heard. Who's up for a trip to the US?

"Pigs, they tend to wiggle when they walk the infrastructure"

Lets have you're favorite Pavement lyrics.

'the infrastructure rots and the owners change the locks' is that the next line?

LoulaBella you're very close.

'the infrastructure rots and the owners hate the jocks'.

'Children in electric dresses are insane, they break into crematoriums and smoke the remains'

H.

and the owners hate the jocks, with their dates…

What about the voice of Geddy Lee? How did it get so high? I wonder if he speaks like an ordinary guy? I know him and he does. Well you're my fact checking cuz…

I vent my spleen at the lord, he is abstract and bored.

the grammar police set me up with your niece

genius.

That's it, wides out tonight in Wigan wearing pj's for some reason, slow century going on the home cinema tonight

Hurrah!

Try here

nickc = fool

Undoubtedly, but at least i have taste 😉

It's what I want…

Out on my skateboard the night is just hummin
And the gum smacks are the pulse Ill follow if my walkman fades
But Ive got absolutely no one, no one but myself to blame

Really hope they tour here.
I saw them in Manchester a few years back, truly stunning.

I just went to see Steve Malkmus and the Jicks play on Friday night. Solid show, and much better live performance than I remember Pavement being, but the songs lacked that punch/hook. I'd love to see Pavement again.

We took a giant ramrod and razed the demon settlement.
