Pavement / 9.24.2010 / New York, NY / Central Park

Words by Brendan Sullivan I was first introduced to Pavement via AOL instant messenger. A friend with far better musical taste than little ol’ me continually used the opening lyric to their song “Stereo” as his away message in college: “Pigs, they tend to wiggle when they walk.” I didn’t know what that meant back [...]

Video / Breathe Owl Breathe / Lake Night
