With their fractured songs, unexpected blasts of feedback, laconic vocals, cryptic literate lyrics, and defiant low-fidelity, Pavement were one of the most influential and distinctive bands to emerge from the American underground in the '90s. Pavement, along with Sebadoh, were the leaders of the lo-fi movement that dominated U.S. indie rock in the early '90s. Initially conceived as a studio project between guitarists/vocalists Stephen Malkmusand Scott Kannberg in the '80s, Pavement gradually became a band during the early '90s. Along the way, their initial EPs and debut album, 1992's Slanted & Enchanted, earned a devoted following of musicians, indie fans, and critics.

Pavement

One, two, three, four Cardiac kid, kinda like it, kinda like it, cardiac kid, don't go Chronological on all your friends First you'll cause accidents Raise the roof Make us tense Follow through to the ends And we'll rip the heart out from the defense The lion reaps his own reward Serengeti nightmare for the echo tour You're a nice guy and I hate you for that Thanks to people like you I'm no longer that Mandrake versus the snake I got it on the camera for posterity Of my stolen wild orchids got cut See those Sherpas sherpin from the autobus It's got the right to sit on that face Well, it was put here for me because I am great I've got the right to sit on that face Everybody look at me and my wonderful place Patty, patty, patty you're so catty And it's not fair cause I like to doody doddy do Catty, catty, catty you're so patty And it's unfair because I like to doody doddy do with you It's unfair cause I like to doody doddy doody da with you Di da di doody da with you
