where the hell is Newark Wilder? I've always been waiting to hear him weigh in on a pavement-related thread per his username.

if by some odd chance you have managed to live this long and never hear the first two weezer albums, definitely check them out. As far as 90's-indie-bands-that-dont-sound-like-pavement-but-i-fell-in-love-with-them-at-the-same-time-as-i-discovered-pavement, I would highly recommend The Pixies and Neutral Milk Hotel. They're completely unrelated to each other as well as to pavement, I know, but I, too, lived through the nineties and managed to not hear any of the good music produced by that decade until the mid-2000's. I then had to work my way backwards through the decade to find out what all I missed.

+1 for Fugazi and Sonic Youth

And fwiw, check out The Velvet Underground, think of them as the Pavement of the 1960's

They seem to be getting a lot of attention right now. I wasn't into them the first time for some reason but it actually sounds quite good. Must have had a bad day or something.

They've got some sweet jazzmasters:

Concrete is a really common choice, it's easy to install because all it involves is leveling, pouring, and smoothing, and it's structurally sound enough to last you a lifetime - maybe fifty years or more, with normal usage, but over time you'll see the surface become cracked and pitted and routine maintenance will be necessary. You can also get it polished to a mirror-like finish if you need it for something like a garage or warehouse floor. Asphalt won't last as long by itself, but will match concrete surfaces in longevity if you clean and seal-coat it every two years or so. Seal coating stops water from getting into the small cracks in the surface, which is the main contributing factor to wear and tear on blacktop. Asphalt is very aesthetically pleasing but requires special equipment to install and maintain. If you're not looking for anything too fancy, you could just fill in your area with gravel or road base, but since those are loose materials, you have to make sure you don't have any drainage issues.


wait where am i

I think that I like they're studio stuff better than the live stuff I heard on NPR's SXSW coverage. When I was listening to the live stuff I kept thinking "this would sound amazing in studio."

Yuck is definitely working their way into my rotation.
