Oh man, Pavement might be (thinking about someday in the near or far future, and maybe only for one show or maybe for a tour) reuniting! Personally, I’m excited, since now that Robert Plant has turned down all that money to go on a Led Zeppelin reunion tour I’ve been short one topic in my “highly speculative posts about bands maybe getting together” folder. Thanks, Entertainment Weekly! [Hollywood Insider]

File under ‘Things that make me feel very old.’
If they come back with Gary Young, I’d offer my first born.
Maybe they could get a decent drummer this time?
Well, it’s only been 8 years since the last Pavement release? Allow for general time inflation, and I wouldn’t call this a “reunion” as much as just Scott and Steve needing a break from each other for a while.
Anyway, this is great news, especially boding well for (crossing fingers) deluxe reissues of Brighten The Corners and Terror Twilight
No comeback matters to me since Joe Strummer died. If the Clash couldn’t make the comeback tour I couldn’t care less about lesser bands.
I await the 11 minute “Zurich is Stained.”
Counting Ibold’s appearance with Sonic Youth, they pulled off 3/5 of a reunion at Pitchfork last summer.
If Pavement can (maybe, just maybe) do it, maybe that’ll convince Talking Heads to iron-out their differences (maybe, just maybe plese)?
*Commence parade of other bands that people want to see reunite*
The Replacements. Even sans chemical/alcohol dependency and Bob.
Oh, if only those L.A. Guns boys could work it all out, all would be right in the world.
Right now, Disco Inferno is the ONLY band whose reuniting would make me stand up and take notice.
Malkmus, when asked about it in interviews, has never ruled out the possibility of a reunion. Done right, they could join Mission of Burma in the very ltd. category of Reunions That Aren’t Just For Nostalgia’s Sake or A Cash Grab.
