Pavement covers (and one song about Pavement). Ramshackle and sly like the originals, in all different ways – nobody is too reverent but nobody wrecks anything with an excess of experimentation, either. Up there on my “best ever tribute comps” list with that Queen thing on 31G – it’s that good. CD 1 1. drums + fervent sexy Brit > swingin hipster musik. This is the song about, not by. 2. shrill skittery shuffly take on one of my very favorites 3. chimey mostly-acoustic history lesson, full of summer languor and sung like storytelling 4. Bardo Pond’s formidable sonic horsepower harnessed to a much stricter song structure than they usually use, to great effect 5. melancholy strum finds the sad at the core of the original’s don’t-care pose – w/harmonica! 6. cheek and reverb, coed vox – fades to sweet drone 7. lush rock mit glockenspiel 8. wistful Scot w/steelstring and an earnestness that reminds me of Billy Bragg 9. ramshackle w/saw and periodic fuzzed-out rockouts 10. sweet Stereolab-ish vocals and organ w/oddly naked, aggressive guitar 11. strum and drums and deep voice right in your ear 12. fuzzed-out and energetic– captures the exuberant kiss-off energy of the original 13. psychedelic! 14. spare, skittery, bassy, chimey 15. shrieky intro > big rock 16. loungy version of ambivalent ode to SoCal 17. pretty faithful version of the driving, catchy original, but they shouldn’t have let the bass player mix it 18. chime and twang CD 2 1. answering machine message > murmury and bassy 2. low warm voice and subdued band 3. very faithful to the original, but hey, the original is pretty rad… 4. reverbed falsetto, tambourine, piano, bass – not sure what language he’s singing in but it doesn’t seem to be English 5. super fuzzed out and catchy, sorta New Bad Thingsy 6. slowdance that builds to a countryish frenzy not unlike the Geraldine Fibbers 7. medieval-folk intro, occasionally-irritating falsetto vox 8. strums, whistles and more falsetto 9. murky, kinda off-key version of the hit 10. rockin and muttery w/odd dragging slowdowns 11. spacy 12. warm strum and superrepetetive lyrics 13. psychey, catchy 14. minimal, melancholy and lovely 15. quiet and sleepy, with banjo 16. starts ~7 seconds late – 70’s vibe, deep bass hum and, hm, accordian? And female vocals tripping over Malkmus’s excessive syllables (and getting the words wrong). 17. another take on “Here,” this one with piano, coed vox and horn 18. deep and fuzzy | ||
