damn you engadget! pavement on the bbc
i stole this photo from engadget, which as i have stated before is the best site, technology or otherwise on the net. one of the many things that i love about engadget is that the staffs collective writing style is very conversational, and they dont get too technical just to prove they can - see boring as hell and really quite pompus. the past weeks visits to engadget have ben a bit painful though. with all the ps3, wii and zune it made me realize that my pocketbook doesnt match my technological aspirations/wants. regarding the zune, i dont want one but i still would love to play with it. i found this tid bit of information pretty funny. in order to install the zune you must register it first - which is totally insane if you ask me. i dont believe that apple requires this, do they? apparently, a zune was purchased a couple of days early at some mega retailer and when they went to install it they kept getting errors. as it turns out in order to install the software it must connect to the zune servers/database which are not up yet because the zune has yet to be officially released. i think that its a fair assumption that the zune is going to bomb.
my wife and i have been together for almost 9 years, and in that time there has not been a week that has gone by that i have not listened to a pavement record in her presence. it has not been until recently that she has finally started sharing my love, of pavement that is. dont know what the hell changed in her brain, but damn bitches be crazy.
this can now be found here

ok, here is a question i am posing to your dear person(s) i have heard some rumblings that its a pain in the ass to download each individual track especially when a post contains more than 10 tracks.? would you prefer that i provide a link to a .rar file that contains all the tracks? keep in mind that i am fairly lazy, so maybe what i will do then is only provide a couple of track direct links, but the also provide the .rar file. let me know if you care.

yeah, RAR or ZIP files are a damn site easier!! Cheers!!
For what it’s worth I prefer the freedom to download tracks individually.
Good blog by the way.
Individual tracks are good…
THANKS so much for this, excellent recording. Pavement holds a nice spot for me and my lady as well (no biker intonations implied)
Good Times. Thanx. Man its bloody reunion time. Listening to this reminds me of how uncool rock has become without the Pavemnet Lads.

thanks for the input guys. i am still undecided on which way i will go, maybe i will just still do the individual links and provide a .rar file. the only problem with that is that it will eat into my online storage. who the fuck knows? kevin, you are absolutely right that rock has kinda lost something since their demise. they were and are the undisputed kings of cool.
Don’t Do It! Save yer bandwidth and storage space.
By the way, I just linked to this post…

just keep it the way it is. you’re doing all the work by finding the music, and posting it so fuck anybody who’s too lazy to download it. if you can’t tell, i prefer the track-by-track version because i like to listen to a few songs of the set before i download the whole show. thanks for the great site. we need it!!! (especially since the upbrupt demise of rbally.)
thanks kyle. you speak the truth brother. i am going to just keep it the way i have been doing it. btw, there is a firefox plugin which i think is called “get all” which will download all the mp3s on a page.
regarding, rbally. i know jennings had been saying he was quitting but it seemed like it just ended, like you say abruptly. no see ya later or go fuck yourselves, it just uncerimoniously ended. too bad, it was a great site.
Just a geeky question regarding the posted pavement 1999 show: I can’t find a listing on the BBC site for this. Do you have any more info on it? Exact date? Location? Thanks!
BTW, I like having the separate tracks… Thanks for the great posts!
jason, the exact date is may 15, 1999 and as for a location, i am still working on getting that. fyi, in case i ever forget to post an exact date you can always check the id tags, which i always make sure to have all that information within the tags. thanks for reading.
give some press to the latest 75orless Records releases. So Much Silence has The Black Keys on NPR 11-5-06. Boston’s own Bradley’s Almanac has the Long Winters show from 9-30-06. Captains Dead posts Pavement live on BBC radio 1999. Southern Shelter has the Sunshine Fix live 6-19-04. Scroll down a bit for Jefito’s Black Sabbath show from 4-6-74.
