Whenever it's Real.

A good friend of mine absolutely adores the band Pavement.
I've listened to them in passing and it's always been enjoyable,
but never enough to really sell me on them completely.
The other day I was perusing the Youtubes, and I found a video of them.
Playing Spit on a Stranger.
Until that moment, I had only ever heard the Nickel Creek cover...
don't get me wrong, I love that cover,
but the Pavement original is surprisingly fantastic.



Also, I bought this cd (white flag) yesterday. So Good.

yep. found your blog. I listened to SO MUCH Pavement in high school, but I don't really anymore.
