58. End Of U.S. Tour Surprise: Spiral Stairs Rates Roxy Music!

To close out Pavement’s triumphant 2022 tour, another gift…Back in December 2021, Spiral Stairs was our very first guest on the program. Not only is our Roxy Music episode one of our best and most popular, but Scott remains one of the greatest and most gracious guests we’ve ever had. Have at it, fellow Pavement lunatics!

-Check out Roxy Music emerging fully formed on a legendary Peel Session from 1972. Not available on streaming services but essential
-Roxy Music looking and sounding like the coolest human beings on the planet on The Old Grey Whistle Test in 1972
-A return to The Old Grey Whistle Test a year later, so good it's not fair
-Tearing up "Pyjamarama" on Musikladen in 1974

57. Bonus Episode: Bob Nastanovich on David Berman & The Silver Jews Discography

Although initially intended solely for Discograffiti’s Deep-Diver Patreon community, as a Pavement fan I’m assuming he means as much to you as he does to me, so I couldn’t hold it back any longer.  A touching 10-minute tribute to a troubled, brilliant man, and a stroll through his consistently brilliant recordings, this is an absolute don’t-miss. Bob also talks about all the shitty Husker Du shows that went down, and his one & only attempt at songwriting…you’ll never guess the genre, either.

55. Bonus Episode: The Spiral Stairs Interview!

Back in December 2021, Spiral Stairs came on the show and rated Roxy Music with us (go check out Episode 9). Afterwards, we did a great little 12-minute interview with him that’s never been aired, & it’s chock full of essential off-topic hilarity…such as going to bar mitzvahs with a 13-year-old Malkmus back in Stockton; a gaggle of early band names; and the best & worst song he’s ever written.  It was supposed to be Patreon-only, but I s’pose Xmas came early.

50. Discograffiti’s The Private Press with Paul Major: “The New Dawn - There’s A New Dawn” (1970)

Your Pavement Reunion Tour Companion keeps the party going with one of Stephen Malkmus’ favorite private presses of all time, a one-off downer garage psych concept album from 1970 out of Salem, Oregon about a guy who decides to off himself—this is absolutely one of the great Sixties comedown rekkids of all time. The New Dawn will also mark the final appearance of The Private Press as a free weekly series—now you gotta subscribe! And it’s well worth it—your host Paul Major is the greatest, most enthusiastic private press record collector of all time—and leader of the thunderously awesome band Endless Boogie—and he’ll be introducing you and I to a brand new incredible record you’ve almost definitely never heard of every single week, along with personal tales of tracking these folk down that rocket his recommendations into another category entirely. That’s right, it’s a whole other show that runs concurrently with Discograffiti, intended for the deep-dive diehards out there who just can’t can’t enough great music recommendations. Sign up for the Major tier on our Patreon page (www.Patreon.com/Discograffiti) to get The Private Press every Thursday!

49. Pavement Part 1: “The Road To Slanted” (1989-1992) with Pavement Member Bob Nastanovich

It’s not every day that Pavement reunites for a tour. In fact, since breaking up in 1999, it’s only happened once, in 2010…and then again this week! Huge props go to Bob Nastanovich, a true mensch, who thoroughly delivered on his promise of ruthless honesty in his assessments of the entire Pavement catalog during our epic 8 hour interview. A 6-episode series that covers the entire length of the tour, we’ll also be offering a tremendous amount of bonus interview content on Patreon, so be sure to check that out. And we’re withholding our big surprise until the end of the tour, so stay tuned…it’s going to be a well-earned celebration of all things Pavement! In episode one, we cover the band’s first several EPs, as they navigated their way through the indie fanzine world before semi-stardom came a-courtin’.
