EW.com pulls an NME and twists a few qualified, tentative quotes into a fullblown Pavement reunion.
Stephen Malkmus: “Something small in 10 years like the Zeppelin thing sounds good to me… Obviously, the arena would be smaller than theirs, though.”
Mark Ibold: “Why not next month?” he jokes. “No, it needs to be carefully planned.”
Scott Kannberg: “Matador is having a 20th anniversary party soon, so maybe we’ll try to do something for that.”
In other words, It’d be fun, but don’t hold your breath.
MP3s:
• Pavement – “Rattled By The Rush” from Wowee Zowee: Sordid Sentinels Edition
• Pavement – “Heckler Spray/In The Mouth Of A Desert” from Pavement Live At The Palace
All this hot on the heels of the Malkmus Spin interview where he says in no uncertain terms that a reunion isn’t in the cards for a really, really long time.
