Sorry about the lack of posts.
Pavement. The ground that we walk on. A fitting name for a band that dominated the indie rock scene of the early 90's and, shall I say "paved" the way for many indie bands today. They were a fiery ball of energy and feedback. Their creative, powerful sound, accompanied by frontman Steven Malkmus' playfully witty lyrics, defined the lo-fi, noise pop genre. Here's a couple of ditty's from a band whose songs never seem to get old.
One of my favorite songs of all time.
another great one from Crooked Rain Crooked Rain
check out this live cut from the Palace in Hollywood circa 1994

whooaaa!!! way to pull "paved" from "pavement" megna that was deep! is that Henry David Thoreau over there?
also, if these guys are in fact called "pavement", why the F are they sitting in the middle of a wheat field? isn't that antithetical?
Ha! Very antithetical. I think thats the point. by the way, those are big words for a layman such as myself.
