i just want a hurley/watt tour
loved that shit, keep the minutemen alive
I’ve got a few : Soundgarden, RATM, Kyuss, Smashing Pumpkins, Screaming Trees, Stone Temple Pilots
but I’d rather Dinosaur jr keep going and touring than any of those really
"Bob Weir " wrote:Since a Pink Floyd tour is more unlikely than me touring, my next dream reunion is Pavement. I’m not new to Dinosaur, but I am somewhat new to this board. I am a huge Pavement fan and I have always associated Pavement with Dinosaur Jr. in terms of being the type of band that didn’t give a fuck about being huge and that had the "slacker" thing going. Also, Stephen Malkmus and J have always caught shit for their singing styles. To me Dinosaur and Pavement are the "coolest" bands I know of. I just want to know if there are any of you out there that feel Pavement will go down this road at some point like Dinosaur has. Of course Dinosaur’s reunion would still be the most unlikely of the two considering the amount of time they were not together. In general are any of you guys Pavement fans and do you see any correllations between Pavement and Dinosaur Jr?I’m a huge Pavement fan. I’d pretty much put money on them getting back together at some point. They always seem to hint on the subject teasingly. I think I read an article a year ago with Stephen Malkmus where he said he talked to Spiral on some holiday, and "forgot" to bring it up.
But, until then, The Silver Jews are touring finally and are the closest thing you can get to Pavement. Steve West is their touring sound guy and Bob Nastanovitch is their road manager.
ahh yeah…i’d be happy to see Pavement, My Bloody Valentine and Swervedriver reunite. any one of those bands breathed back to life would make me very happy.
i saw Adam Franklin’s band Toshack Highway in Canada last fall. they are very good, mellower and spacier than Swervedriver, but the songs are just as good. Franklin has enlisted members of Canadian spacerock superstars Sianspheric for his touring band, a move which makes me very happy, since i went to high school with some of them and have loved their music since i had a pizza face.
Archers of Loaf?
Did hear something on aust radio Triple J about a rumoured Pavement reunion. Cant remember the details though. PSOI seems to tour aust regularly.
How good would replacements be though.

I don’t think Bob Mould really looks down on those Husker songs seeing as his lives shows are always nearly 2/3 Husker songs of his. I mean I don’t blame you for not liking a lot of Mould’s solo stuff, or possibly is attitude (I don’t know about it, so I can’t comment) but he definitely doesn’t look down on his Husker songs, or that band. Sure he still hates Grant, but he plays mostly Du songs in concert and that has always been the case.

Sure he still hates Grant, but he plays mostly Du songs in concert and that has always been the case.Acoustic shows, maybe, but even then it’s the same Chartered Trips/Celebrated Summer/Hardly Getting Over It/Makes No Sense At All and a couple others, with the bulk of his sets being solo stuff (can’t blame him for that, given that he’s released 7 or 8 albums post-Huskers). This last electric tour was the first time he’s played Huskers stuff with a band since the Husker days, which was great, but it was still only those four songs, plus one or two others. He feels like he’s grown tremendously as a songwriter since his Husker days, and sees his past work as more like diamonds in the rough than anything else. The biggest problem with a reunion, ultimately, aside from the personal stuff, is that since playing with guys like Tony Maimone and Anton Fier, and the guys in his current touring band, Mould doesn’t at all rate Grant and Greg as players. He’d feel like it’d be taking several steps backwards, musically.
I see what you are saying. On this last tour he did play those 4 songs all the time, but the show I was at he did about 8-9 Du songs title, about 5 Sugar songs, and like 3-4 of his new record. It was primarily Du songs and not his solo things. I’m sure he has ill feelings towards the songs he wrote around 20 years ago, as well as who he played with. He’s bitter, yes. Maybe he thinks his songwriting got better, and to him it probably did as it was what he wants to do. He did do a lot in his acoustic ones too. But I do understand what your saying.
Ooh Jawbox and Shudder to Think would be rad!
Jawbreaker would be good too.
I’m not sure if anyone around here got into them but Texas is the Reason would be dope to see again.

I was just thinking of them yesterday — never much liked them, but the punk band I played in in high school opened for them in ’87, I think, when all they had out was a homemade cassette. I remember it being pretty good, but I lent it to a kid from DC when I was in college (he couldn’t believe someone from outside DC actually had a copy) and never saw it again.
I’d actually like to see the Doughboys reunite, along with Die Kreuzen. They toured together once, which was cool to see.

For Soundgarden, it would have to be with Hiro Yamamoto back on bass.

They were a weird band.Craig`s vocals were like Matthew Sweet doing a Freddie Mercury impression.They went crappy towards the end but up to `94 they were incredible.People are really love em/hate `em about them it seems.
