I Miss Pavement. Luckily, I’m not the only one. Broken Social Scene dreamed of Pavement, or at least channeled Pavement guitars in “Ibi Dreams of Pavement” from their new self-titled album.

well i don’t know about freed, but i’m in. thanks for the heads up. i’ll put it on my schedule (which happens to be pronounced the snobby british way, as in ’shed-yule’).

Thankfully, The Broken Remotes are another source I can turn to for help. They are an L.A. band that Octavius from KXLU turned me on to. I’ve only heard stuff off of their 2004 album, Throw Me The Keys, but I’m eagerly anticipating their new one, Tonight’s Last Stand, that is due out December 16th. […]
