So I picked up an album last weekend that I hadn’t written about. It’s Pavement’s Slanted & Enchanted, but a re-release of it with lots of extras. I’m not normally a big indie/punk/underground fan, but this is pretty good. I’ll admit that the reason I picked up an album by Pavement is because Trey Anastasio (of Phish fame) has said they’re his favorite band. They’re a band from California playing mostly indie/alternative/punk music. They don’t exist anymore, but they were popular (at least in that scene) in the 90’s.
Since I know nothing about that style of music, I can’t say they’re one of the best or great or anything, but I like the album. It reminds me a lot of Modest Mouse (but not overly like Good New for People Who Love Bad News, that one’s pretty tame).
Anyway, since they’re a lesser known band, I thought I’d give them some press. If you like that style of music, you’d probably love Pavement.
