Pavement to reform?
June 30th 2006 19:33
Ex-Pavement singer Stephen Malkmus and bassist Mark Ibold were seen not only playing together with Sonic Youth, but supposedly overheard talking about reforming Pavement at the Bonnaroo Festival in Tennessee. The Sonic Youth messageboards have been going insane, unsurprisingly. Fans apparently leapt on this like Frank Black on a crumb, leading to the deletion of the fire-spreading rumour.
So what does this mean? An invigoration for Malkmus, whose post-Pavement antics with the Jicks have been as much derided as praised? Or a chance for a large number of 35-year-olds to cry like overfed babies, like when the Pixies reformed in 2004? Do we even want a reform, or will it tarnish their near-perfect back catalogue?
Don't forget, they have to live up to Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain. Tough one...
