I won't argue with you about the lyrics--Pavement's didn't do anything for me either. I particularly enjoy the music from both, though.

At the risk of sounding like a stalker, where does he live?Originally Posted by pedro
While I can agree that lyrically Pavement isn't very deep, Malkmus does offer some enjoyable wordplay. He's stated before most of the lyrics are toss-offs and not meant to be taken too seriously. One particularly enjoyable and apt line from Pig Lib, "He couldn't commit to the mental jujitsu of switching his hittin'." I also really appreciate the song Embassy Row.
As for Malkmus' post-Pavement output, it's been a strange path. The first two were super mellow (a trend that began building after Wowee Zowee) and has ended with lots of faux-psychedelia and noodling. That said, I like Face the Truth nearly as much as any of the Pavement albums.
Laurelhurst..
I also know where he plays foosball with Johnny Marr and Issac Brock but I'm going to keep that to myself.

Johnny's apparently been there in the last month, even though he's not touring with MM this time around.

I knew he lived in the SE. I've seen him in Beaulahland and the Goodfoot. In Portland, especially if you attend shows, it's hard not to run into these guys. Almost ran Britt Daniel over on my bike a couple months back.Laurelhurst..

And to return this thread to it's rightful (non-Portlandcentric) topic:
Autolux. They've got a bit of a shoegaze sound. They haven't released an album in half a decade (they have one scheduled for this year. Their sound is one I'm not generally drawn to, but there's something almost hypnotic that keeps drawing me back. I definitely recommend an audio perusal.
yeah, i know what you mean, i almost ran over willie vlautin from richmond fontaine in my car a few months back, and woy and i saw art alexis at the theater when we went to go see the the simpsons movie.

Middle Cyclone - Neko Case
I've always liked Neko Case pretty well, but something about this album is freaking tearing me apart.
I also like the new Andrew Bird album(s). I am veering dangerously close to an easy listening phase, I think. I blame spring.
There is no such thing as a pitching prospect.
I was in San Diego recently and had a chance to see Andrew Bird. Remembering how well you spoke of him, I went. It was amazing.

JUST finished the audio reading of Atlas Shrugged (read by Christopher Hurt - excellent reader btw).
I just recently started listening to Andrew Bird and I'm quickly becoming a big fan.I was in San Diego recently and had a chance to see Andrew Bird. Remembering how well you spoke of him, I went. It was amazing.

-Air Supply
I saw Andrew Bird in Tennessee a couple years ago, and he was great. I had liked him a bit before then, but I became a big fan after that.
Awesome!!I was in San Diego recently and had a chance to see Andrew Bird. Remembering how well you spoke of him, I went. It was amazing.
I don't think the new albums (I bought them as a double set) have been as well received as some of his other stuff, but I absolutely love them.
