Attention, Great Britainers! Atención, Spaniards! Attenzione, Italians! Garde-à-vous, Frenchmen! Achtung, Germans! Pozor, Czech Republicans! Aandacht, Belgiumeers! Aird, hardass, oldschool Irishmen! Uh, and yeah, G’day, Australians!
In addition to the string of awesome festival dates and such that they’ve been slowly piecing together, Pavement has just announced that they’ll be coming to a theater near you (in a 2010 near you) to spread their decidedly American Gospel of slacking off; taking it real easy; keeping it “real loosey goosey;” vibing-out on jammy riffage; hiring a full-time aux. perc. player just because your real drummer can’t be relied on to keep time; singing about nothing in whatever key your voice feels like after smoking all of that pot; saying you’ll finish this or that song “some other time” but then just recording it anyway and putting it out; and, last but not least, becoming incredibly famous, respected, praised, acclaimed, and un-duplicate-able in the process.
Get ready to take some notes, Europe, Australia, U.K.! This is how you achieve in our country. Just ask Barack Obama. I’m pretty sure that he was in a psych-stoner-indie-slack-off rock band back in the day too. Yeah. Definitely pretty sure
