    Nice article, I’ve been wondering what would be next for him. I loved Pavement a lot – still do I guess. Anyone heard is new stuff?

    Got the new album, and some boots. I think it’s great. You still hear where he’s coming from -it has sort of the "pavement sound." The biggest change is in the lyrics I guess. They’re structured differently and aren’t quite as dark and gloomy. This is both good and bad I feel. I loved the way the pave lyrics where structured. All the layers with bits and pieces stuck together to create wonderfully intelligent rhymes. And I also dig the desperation that lurked beneath the surface on some of the songs. Not to mention all the intertextuality. But his new way of arranging is also great in its way. You could say he’s more of a storyteller now.
    Anyways, you should definetely check out the new album [img]images/smiles/icon_razz.gif[/img]

    His UK gig at the Empire was great – his music always sounded better live. Not to say that the album ain’t good, there are some cracking tracks on there (and some trademark weirdasfunk lyrics – "age 19 I was kidnapped by Turkish pirates"). But he looked happy as a solo (ish) artist – expect good things.

    Was at both of his show here in Norway early may, and I must say they kicked some marvelous ass [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]
    And I totally agree Javro, he actually looked happier now, than when Pavement played here in 99
