I have a stack of CDs to review by Sunday for the next issue of Wonka Vision but this week it’s been all about Pavement and post-Pavement projects (Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks, Preston School of Industry) as far as listening to music goes. Matador re-released Pavement’s Brighten the Corners CD with a ton of extra songs (B-sides, live stuff, etc.) in early December, Malkmus released an awesome jam/rock album – Real Emotional Trash – in March ’08, and PSOI (featuring ex-Pavement guitarist Scott ‘Spiral Stairs’ Kannberg) is putting the finishing touches on their 3rd full-length which should see the light of day in May.
Here’s a video from each:
Pavement – “Painted Soldiers” (featuring a cameo appearance from Veruca Salt)
Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks – “Jenny & The Ess Dog” (on Letterman)
Preston School of Industry – “Caught in the Rain”
