Pavement - Slow Century_DVD1_ DVDRip_Divx5.1.avi http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/de ... 1?v=glanceWith rumors of Pavment's demise spreading like small pox in the Sudan, lead singer-songwriter-guitarist-fame throwa Stephen Malkmus retreated to the hazy anonymity of Los Angeles for what is now referred to in Pavement lore as "Malkmus' Lost Weekend". Thankfully this dark period yielded more than a slew of embarrassing incidents (Will Malkmus EVER live down those widely published photos of Harry Nilson carrying the bleary-eyed slacker prince out of the Troubadour after a(-nother) brandy soaked night out?), highlighted by this audio/visual document of the band circa B.S. 1989-1999. Many Pavement fans consider this stellar DVD to be the band's last hurrah, failing to recognize the diamonds in the considerable rough of their New Century offerings, most notably the remarkable growth of Bob Nastanovich as a songwriter and vocal interpreter.
Things never were the same after the "Lost Weekend". The increasingly reclusive Malkmus stopped touring with the band, opting to concentrate on composing and recording while the band was on the road. This evolution in the ways of the Pavement was met with resistance from guitarist and co-founder Spiral Stairs, who deeply resented laying down his rhythm guitar tracks on top of Malkmus' "ego music" even more than he'd resented those horribly mocking faces SM used to make onstage when Spiral performed the songs he'd penned ("Date with Ikea", "Kennel District", etc.)during Pavement's "Brighten the Corners" and "Terror Twilight" tours. Malkmus, increasingly protective of his recordings to the point of rampant paranioa, wasn't suffering turncoats, malcontents and/or co-founding members gladly, especially when Stairs objected to releasing these sessions as "Pavement" recordings. "I am Pavement," he roared back. When a hiss drenched tape of the encounter found its way onto several of the popular audio file sharing web sites, a Matador Records spokeshuman would claim that the tape was one of the band's signature media pranks, an ironic reference to the classic fightin' Gallagher Brothers' studio outtakes of the mid-90s. The public, barely remembering the Gallaghers and having recently been inundated with reports from the media mind control front that irony was "over", didn't buy it and the breakup rumors swirled like never before.
Malkmus' personal nadir would come shortly thereafter when the band, fearing that their status as "critic's darlings" would be jeopardized if they abandoned their tried and true trademark "mid-fi" sound in favor of the radically adventurous new direction their fearless leader was taking them in, voted to take the album away. Surviving only in bootleg form, the unfinished album, which was tenatively titled "There is One I in Pavement", hints at what a glorious future it could have been.
The "Slow Century" offered fans a glorious snapshot of the Pavement they held close to their heart, much like the Young Elvis stamp of B.S. 1993. The wonderfully off-center videos, the post-zenith-but-still-rockin' live performances and the endearing drunken commentary track were, in retrospect, icing on a great decade of work. Mostly assembled by S.M. in Los Angeles over many painstaking months, he would later refer to the DVD as his "love letter to the old fans" in an interview from bed, one of his last to date. The title went through many changes, ranging from the banal ("The Pavement Video Collection") to the ironically self-deprecating ("Video Report from the Second Tier") to the bitter ("Clever, Creative Videos Only Sell Records and Garner Airplay for Beck"), before settling on a typically cryptic reference to embattled Silver Jews leader D.C. Berman (who, entering a Dade County courtroom on charges of exposing himself and carrying a live sheep onstage during a concert in B.S. 1999, responded to the scrum of reporters shouting "Did You Do It?" with the still unexplained "We are at the dusk of a slow century..."). Strange source for the title indeed, but the Pavement we would care to remember wouldn't have it any other way. The "Slow Century" DVD is essential for those dedicated followers of all things "Westing (by musket and sextant)" through "Terror Twilight".
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0358631/An essential double DVD overview of Pavement, one of the 1990s greatest alternative rock bands., 22 April 2003
Author: Infofreak from Perth, Australia
I'm a Pavement fan. They were one of my very favourite bands of the 1990s. This double DVD package is a tribute and a testament to one of the greatest alternative rock bands of the last twenty years. It includes Lance Bangs documentary on the band, plus all their videos, commentaries by the band, and by the directors, who include Bangs and Spike "Being John Malkovich" Jonze, and special guests Thurston Moore and Kim Gordon from Sonic Youth. There are also two live gigs, one recorded in Seattle, the other in Manchester, both from 1999 not long before the band disbanded. Altogether it makes a fabulous memento for Pavement fans. Whether a disinterested non-fan will enjoy it anywhere near as much as one of the converted is very difficult for me to judge. I think they will probably enjoy the music but as they don't know the personalities of the band maybe it'll get a bit tedious, I don't know. But it's a moot point, this is obviously aimed at fans, and they will love it, as it is one of the better music DVDs available on the market. Bangs' documentary is consistently interesting, and follows the band from its obscure indie beginnings in the late 80s until its demise around ten years later. Pavement's working life as a band coincided with the mainstream explosion of alternative rock in the early to mid 1990s, spearheaded by Nirvana. Pavement themselves, though they had, and continue to have, a large cult following never really crossed over into MTV/Top 40 land, but neither did Sebadoh, Royal Trux, Dinosaur Jr. or Godfathers of the American indie scene Sonic Youth. Some of these bands still exist, some don't, but their music is out there waiting to be discovered by generations to come, just like previous music fans have rediscovered The Velvet Underground, Big Star, Television, Wire, The Buzzcocks and Pere Ubu, to name a few. Every now and again the mainstream pop audience flirts with the underground, then forgets about it, but these kinds of bands are ALWAYS there, and always will be. I hope that some young kid dissatisfied with the blandness and cynical marketing of mainstream pop and rock will stumble across 'The Slow Century' and discover Pavement's amazing debut album 'Slanted And Enchanted' (recently re-released), and then maybe explore some of the bands influences and inspirations, like those named above, or The Fall or Echo and The Bunnymen (who they cover on the live disc) or their pals The 3Ds. Maybe I'm just dreaming... Anyway, this is a fantastic DVD. An essential purchase to anyone who is remotely interested in the band, and also highly recommended to anyone exploring the history and roots of alternative rock, especially those who have recently had their ears opened by The Strokes, The White Stripes, BRMC et al.
