Terror Twilight

January 10, 2008

When was the last time you listened to Pavement's Terror Twilight? We listened to it today, and just might be at the tippy toes of a pretty mean Pavement streak. All that weird wordplay and half-delivered deliveries. So good. I'm rattled by the rush.Here's something to think about Malkmus and his whole deal: He speaks in band names.A small list of Malkmus-isms that could be the next rad local band you won't be going to see:01. Pacific Trim02. Father to a Sister of Thought03. Baptist Blacktick04. Range Life05. Starlings Of The SlipstreamSaw the guy at a barbeque last summer and it took everything in my being to leave him alone with his family. I'm a fan. My burden as a Portlander.- - - -A good day for vinyl showing up in the mail, at the house:01. Son Volt - Trace02. Wheat - Hope and Adams03. Gastr Del Sol - Crookt, Crackt or FlyTrace on vinyl? So fucking good. I will die with that record. The best Volt album of the bunch. Even after 13 years, the thing still sounds as fresh as ever to me.- - - -Some "fresh, young rock poster art" here. Refreshing.
