PAVEMENT / SPIRAL STAIRS / PRESTON SCHOOL OF INDUSTRY **PAVEMENT - TOURING 2023** NEW SPIRAL LP 'MEDLEY ATTACK!!!' OUT NOW
spiral stairs’s posts
Back in '99, when
needed some B's for the Major Leagues EP, I went out to Gary's place to record these two tracks with him. His drumming was so spot on and inventive and jazzed we could make this music after all the years apart!
We made all those records with Gary on Waco Way! Of course it was!
Here you go Folk Jammers!

PAVEMENT ANNOUNCE
“TERROR TWILIGHT: FAREWELL HORIZONTAL”
4LP / 2CD EXPANDED REISSUE OF PAVEMENT’S FINAL ALBUM OUT APRIL 8TH
Live nation have a monopoly on venues unfortunately. And we manage ourselves thank u! I don’t mind paying a bit to the venue if we are using their services etc but anything over 10% is grift and greed!
happy birthday WOWEE ZOWEE! 25 years! and today 'our western homes are locked forever!' hope that changes soon! #matadorrevisionisthistory #matadorrecords #wewannabehypnotized
Pavement review – 90s indie giants defy slacker reputation with high energy and deep cuts
That was random… prominently featured on tonight’s I had just woken from a kip and turned on the tele!
pavement is playing next year. last time we played, we stayed in a hotel with a bunch of the bands. it was also the only time i met three of my favorite bands. all in one elevator ride.
Pavement return: ‘There are few artists not named Jagger or McCartney who have no financial worries’
“It’s just The Fall in 1985, isn’t it?, They haven’t got an original idea in their heads.” this is what the late great MES said of pavement when asked. i never found fault in this. i think it was his way of liking us. what a profound influence on our band.

at this very moment, i'm trying to re learn Texas Never Whispers (for the first time in 12 years)... and texting with the dude from Texas Never Whispers (who happens to play guitar in SS)! funny how life is...
On Jan 17, 1989 Pavement recorded it's first 7" in Stockton, CA. On the same day, someone walked into Cleveland Elementary School across town and gunned down 30 8 to 9 year old kids, murdering 5! Weapon of choice? A semi automatic!
why am i getting everyone's spotify decade bullshit in my feed everyday? don't you realize they don't pay fuck all to the bands you love?
i can really care less about the and opening day... i'm going to see the mighty tonight (maybe for first time since mid 90's?) and it's gonna rock!
i didn't realize sm was releasing new one on same day. pretty cool though right?

Please donate to or any gun control groups! This is madness! 90% of us think this is madness! Background checks and a ban on military weapons now! You gun nuts can go fuck yourselves!
can you believe this was almost 20 years ago? pavement residency tour 97' CBGB's.
i just looked up lyrics for songs i wrote 20 years ago... and trying to play those songs right now. fuck... it's kinda fun.
This might get me in trouble, but I’m listening to Surrealist Pillow for first time ever, the computer said it was good to get to sleep. But it’s freaking me out!
pure pop!

i still believe california should be split into two states. this 3 state thing is stupid. i mean who would write a song 'we want 3 states'?

i was 8 when nixon was booted out! i remember the helicopter flying off vividly! so great my daughter, who is 9, will remember this day forever! now is the time for big change america!
I mean really... Las Vegas? Only time Pavement played there they tried to pay us in chips. FUCK THAT PLACE! And FUCK John Fisher and GAP! SELL!
Found this letter from 1989 sent to my grandparents. I must have sent them the first two Pavement singles. @ Cambria, California instagram.com/p/BlD6hBglG7K/
george bush 1 was a dick. stop making him out to be cool. he ruined the world we live in now. his son was bad too, but at least he was dumb.

you might not know this. used to skate the local morada drainage concrete (pavement) ditches to 'women and children first'. saw them finally in 2007 in seattle! what a band! EVH RIP!
Tony was one of Pavement's (and Spiral, SM, and Gary's) biggest supporters! RIP buddy!

Hey folks... Just put up some new and old items on my Bandcamp page. Thanks to those who've already bought, but this Friday it's Bandcamp Friday where we get the full percentage. I'll be putting up some old signed tour posters soon. Pavement ones too!
this week... talked with gary and geri young, abbo from big cat records, dan k from drag city... and my kid is addicted to full house re runs. it's like the early 90's all over. now just gotta find those birkenstocks!
raise your hands if this was the best song of the 90's! gets my vote every time!

I know it's fun to go after dummies like ted and other gop douce bags who donated to nra etc, but the real change happens when our elected democratic leadership feels threatened by our voices. call em! end the buster !
Matthew Zeek Harris left us last night. He was the best! He was my friend! Hell, he had many friends! Known Matt since mid 90’s Berkeley daze. We originally connected with music and our love for the Oakland A’s. He first played bass in Overwhelming Colorfast.
Replying to
thinking about doing a reissue of ATSG next year. with extra vinyl of early demos that came from TT into ATSG. would people be into it?
i'm here because of record stores. worked at 4 in my life. first was called record factory. learned a lot. thanks dmanz! i'm into springsteen now! then werehouse bought out record factory. that sucked. almost got shot one night when we were robbed.
why is everyone complaining about venue merch fees all of a sudden? venues have been ripping off bands (and fans) for years. buy from bands websites or from the stage if you can!
what a fun time nast! memphis and paynes bbq! the writer didn't get lollapoloosa just right though. we also got a free ping pong table!
requested these outfits for upcoming pavey tour!

anyone out there know how to not have pitchfork be the first thing someone sees when they search for me on google? its' really frustrating when a site with such a history of hating your music is the first thing you see.
