A Pavement Sighting

You probably know Pavement put out a reissue of Brighten the Corners this year. EN-D's still waiting, but not counting on, the potential reunion that pops up occasionally. The fab-five didn't do much to celebrate except have their most charming member Bob N accompany a humble young urbanite to IKEA as a nod to BTC's Spiral Stairs tune Date W/Ikea.



Notes:
1. Bob N wasn't this jovial when I talked to him a few years ago. He was serving as tour manager for Stephen Malkmus, and maybe he was tired or just tired of awkward fans who try to schmooze with him, but he was rather curt with me. Then again, I probably wasn't graceful. I think I asked him to recall some anecdote I'd read in Perfect Sound Forever, the bible of Pavement.
2. Thanks to every online newswire/blog on the Internet for discovering this video.
3. Air Mattresses aren't that bad, though I wouldn't want to sleep on one for months at a time.
