first time i heard pavement was on a mix tape from john king. i was driving when conduit for sale! came on and blew me away. i U-turned to the nearest record store to buy slanted & enchanted, an instant classic. 32 years later, hisham got me a backstage pass to see them at bumbershoot. they say never meet your heroes but steve malkmus was pretty down to earth, just a guy relaxing before work. after pre-show dinner at the 5 point, things got kafkaesque as hisham, jen, and i were led astray by security, wandered the complex up, down, up again in search of green room, which we found just in time to head for the stage. there's no recapturing one's youth, but it did recall the excitement i used to feel going to punk shows as a teenager. is there a word for the memory of a feeling that is not the feeling itself? |
