The first American date in the Pavement world tour is going to the Northwest via the Sasquatch! Music Festival! Take that East Coast. So if it wasn’t enough that festival goers already get to see beau-coup bands (it’s always a stellar line-up) and lounge in the magnificence that is the Gorge Amphitheatre, they now also get access to the reunited genius that is Pavement as well. Dates for the festival are May 29-31 and there is no word yet on who else is playing (that happens on Feb. 16th). I know for a fact that when this information goes up, I will post it, so look out for that and go crank “Summer Babe” while you are at it.

that inescapable feeling you are referring to, is that like when you hear something and you could have sworn you heard it before because of the nostalgic catchy quality? or is is like when you’ve heard a band exactly like said band?
great post by the way!

no prob. The whole album is excellent, combining some of the harder sonics of Los Angeles with the meat of his debut and obviously difficult to summarize in only 50 words… 
I’d say it’s on par with the debut, but better than Los Angeles.

WHO WROTE THIS...PUKE ! “WHO WROTE THIS...PUKE ! “Picture yourself coasting your bike past space funk palm trees, homeless harpists, vintage video arcades, electronic drum circles, and 60s psychedelic singers who’re waiting for the bus. Cosmogramma is kinda like that if someone suddenly tripped you just as you’re starting to enjoy the ride. But in a good way.””

although i’m still slightly put off by the pretentious press release announcing pre-sale of their 2010 nyc dates a year in advance, this is pretty cool. perhaps this will be my first sasquatch…
Sasquatch is a blast, you should go.
