ALL VINYL SHOW!
"Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain" by Pavement (1994)
CLASSIC ALBUM OF THE WEEK
Pavement  "Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain"  1994 (USA)
The theme of this week's show is VINYL RECORDS, on account of "National Record Store Day" is this Saturday.  Like a lot of folks, I gradually migrated from buying LP's to CD's as the 1980's turned into the 1990's -- and this was pretty much the last new release I ever purchased on vinyl (at least until recently, when I have pretty much sworn off of CD's all together!)  And a real good one it is too!  This was Pavement's second full-length release, and the first to feature the "mark II" line up of the band with Mark Ibold, Bob Nastanovich and Steve West joining founders Scott "Spiral Stairs" Kannenberg and Stephen "S.M." Malkmus.  The record version even came with a bonus 7" single: "Jam Kids / Haunt You Down".
Pavement is all over Youtube -- so here's live clips from the early 90's of "Unfair" and the classic "Cut Your Hair" from this album;  plus here's a rarity from 1992 called "Secret Knowledge of Back Roads", with their original hippie drummer Gary Young doing handstands while S.M. sings.
