4. “Frontwards”

Having “so much style that is wasted” is a good boast. This cutting first -level pavement songs of 1992, “aqueous, domestic”, is not scored by the main guitar and provides the documentary with its initial responsibility discharge: “The stories you hear, you know that they never join.”

5. “Silence Kid”

Or is it “Kit of Silence”? It depends on what part of the album see; The pavement never liked to be fixed. From the initial notes of this song, it was clear that the LP “Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain” was in a different wavelength of “Slanted”, putting much more classic rock in the mixture. The vocal melody seems partially cradle of “Everyday” by Buddy Holly, far from fall.

6. “Cut your hair”

Pavement had one of his greatest alternative rock successes with “cutting your hair”, full of crunchy and catchy guitars “Ooh, ooh, oohs.” It is very Malkmus to write a song that could reproduce real in MTV and end the “race” again and again until the yesbles are exhausted with meaning.

7. “Gold Soundz”

The pavement was sometimes on a more jangle-pop steering guitar, bright melodies. (They love Rem) “Gold Soundz” is the best Jangle pavement, with some of Malkmus’s less cryptic feelings: “So drunk in the August sun and you are the kind of girl I like.”

8. “punished”

“Wowee Zowee”, 1995, could be the most divisive LP of the group. For its champions, the 18-wing record and three suction cups (the room was blank) is an indie-rock white album, while its detractors find it very unequal. The highest, thoughtful points are undeniably high, such as “founded”, with their introduction to the quiming and a choir that can give chills.

9. “AT&T”

The two singles of “Wowee”, “Rathled by the Rush” and “Father to a sister of thought”, were slower songs that really did not realize, Althegh Malkmus says in “Pavements” that it was herbing intentionally. (“I think I was smoking a lot of grass at that time,” he explains.) Maybe they have gone with this fattest number, with absurd letters (“My heart is made of sauce”) that include what I suppose are rock rocks.
