... now we get word that Pavement is back together and going on tour. According to published reports, the band isn't planning on anything more than a tour next year, so we shouldn't expect a new album.
Overall, it's been a pretty good year for the old giants of indie rock. Two of the best albums this year have been Dinosaur Jr.'s "Farm" and Sonic Youth's "The Eternal." Would be great to hear new material from Pavement and Sunny Day Real Estate...
Only thing that could really round out the year is news of an Afghan Whigs reunion.
I actually saw The Afghan Whigs on their last tour (January '99), but never saw Pavement. I'm really looking forward to the show in September. I've been a fool all of these years as they're absolutely brilliant.
