The Pavement Conundrum

S02 E01: Enter The Pavement Conundrum

The Pavement Conundrum

Show Notes

After successfully solving The Malkmus Conundrum in a previous podcast, three friends (Paul Carlin, Mark Edwards and Christopher Gallagher) make the decision to work out what their favourite Pavement song is by way of a complicated bracket system that isn't a bracket.

Whatever the case, these three Pavement fanatics discuss eight tracks with four progressing to the next stage.

If you were a fan of The Malkmus Conundrum, you can expect more of the same treachery, backstabbing and genuine disdain for each other with a healthy dose of respect. It's all about respect. Will there be secret recordings? Will they talk about Billy Corgan as much? What does Chris mean when he says 'The Meat of the Curve'?

Made with love for prominent US indie rock band Pavement.
