The roommate's out of town. The radiators are clanging like they often do in old buildings. The rug is more comfortable than the couch. The stereo's on. The album is delightfully uneven, matching the delightful awkwardness of the mood. The evening turns to night. It's mid-October and humid. Twenty years pass in the blink of an eye.
Best Song
For some reasons, "Half a Canyon". For others, "flux=rad".
Released
April 11, 1995.
Acquired or First Heard
First heard Sunday, May 7, 1995, in the living room of a former member of Lincoln darlings Hour Slave, somewhere four or five blocks East of Macalaster College, St. Paul Minnesota. Acquired soon thereafter.
Next Closest
The Fall, they tell me.
Brush with Greatness (note: may include name-dropping)
I've seen Pavement twice: once supporting Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain and once supporting Brighten the Corners. Prior to the '97 show at the Ranch Bowl my wife and a couple friends bowled in the lane next to the one most of Pavement were bowling.
