Chords for Pavement - Interview August 1995

_ What did you think of that song that was by pavement? _
It's called range life the video.
I'm gonna tell you a little bit about pavement the history of the band and this is
What it was so long ago.
This is a compilation of our first three singles.
It's called Westing my musk and sex them
_ _ _ [C] _ [G] _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ [C] They were recorded in a
[G] Space of one year and they're pretty good.
[C] You should check them out [G] there if you want to they're pretty [Gm] noisy and lo-fi
[D] What's next?
This is actually
[C] The next thing that [G] came plan enchanted.
This is our _
[G] groundbreaking [D] LP
_ [A] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ Kind of fall style album cover [E] art.
[Gm] It's pretty nice, especially [D] if you like the fall now this
Was a single that came sort of after this.
This is called cut your hair and this is um a _ _
German woman on here having some beer _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ [G] _ _ _ [Em] _ _

[D] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] We worked it out [B] in
Basically before we went on tour and [Ab] after we went on tour and in between tours and sometimes [A] during tours
[E] in [D] the last year and
[Bb] After that, we [E] took him like a month off
[Ab] Or a month right before we're gonna leave and really focused on even more what we wanted to record and then we went
[D] To the studios down in Tennessee.
[Bm] It's the same place where the silver news [A] recorded
_ _ and
We took out ten days and [A] recorded and then we went back to New York and mixed it
[B] it's less poppy, but I don't think it [D] was I think it was just from [E] playing live concerts a lot and
[B] _ And
[A] _
Relating to the other members in [Dm] the band in a different [B] way than [A] before
_ [E] Made it that way.
It wasn't like let's [Bm] make a difficult hard record [G] after we made a nice mellow [E] one for one thing
Bob [B] was there
[Bm] At this recording he wasn't at the last one [Ab] he's our second drummer and [B] percussionist and so he had an obvious effect [Dm] on it
as well as
_ _ _ And here we [G] [B] have
[N] Gary Young
Who you all might know used to be the drummer in pavement a good friend of mine and a good friend of yours if you've
Ever come to see us play
[B] [Eb] because he's always there for [D] you and
He's giving you some pictures here of him working in a [A] waterbed factory
That's his wife Jerry if you'd like [Bm] to know that's good trivia
[Bm] _ And it [A] just happens to be that we have a video that we're gonna run right now by Gary [Ab] and it's [Dm] called plant man
It's [E] a really good video [B] made by Tom Sirgal a good friend of mine
I'm gonna tell you now about some side projects from the groups back on the
Campaign [C] trail here.
This is a band called free kitten
We're gonna run [Bb] this _
_ _ This is a group with
Kim [Ab] Gordon from Sonic [D] Youth and Julia [Eb] Kufritz who used to be in pussy [D] galore
Which is another [Eb] super band and [Abm] Yoshimi from the boredoms on [Bb] drums and last but not least mark for my band
The band that I play in or one of my many [Dm] bands as you will soon find out pavement
This is another group that's we're involved with silver juice
_ [Am] Yeah
_ _ _ [F] _ Swear _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
Bob and I from a pavement with [Am] DC Berman running the [F] head.
It's a very
_ Spiritual and [C] moving record as you can tell
From the album [B] cover.
I listen to it quite often and [Am] I hope you will too [Em] if you want to check out what we're doing
on the [F] side and
[N] Isn't it strange that what we were talking about the silver juice and Sonic Youth and the contrast?
That there was between these bands and how pavement just relates in between
_ _ With that in mind we're gonna hear a video by Sonic Youth called bull in the heather it features a member of bikini kill
_ Ouija band Kathleen Hannah and
_ It's directed by Tamara Davis who has made a movie recently with a guy from Saturday Night Live is the head
I don't know if you've seen Saturday Night Live.
It's supposed to be very infantile.
So don't [G] watch it
Okay.

I want to mention this band Sonic Youth
there's a story about them here called confusion is next it tells their whole history from their beginnings as a

Place that they're at now.
