Pavement checks all my style and influence boxes. I've learned that sometimes the "box checking" bands can disappoint however, when the style is there without the substance. But in this case, I heard something on the first listen that made me want to go back again. On second listen, I enjoyed it even more than the first time through. Specifically, from "Cut My Hair" (the big hit in its day) through the end. I'm going to keep some of these songs in the rotation. RANDOM STUFF: If you ever wanted to know what could have been, had Neil Young joined up with the Velvet Underground, you can find out by listening to "Range Life." And what's up with "5-4=Unity" borrowing from the Beatles' "I Want You (She's So Heavy)"? So curious, but enjoyed that little interlude....
