Jacob Javits, I'd like to thank you for everything


Few are better at turning a phrase than Pavement, who've reclaimed heavy rotation over the past few days. Sometimes I need a break, but I always come back.

No one gives better wordplay, such as these lyrics from "Shady Lane," off Brighten the Corners:

"Redder shade of neck on a whiter shade of trash ... "

and

"You've been chosen as an extra in the movie adaptation of the sequel to your life ... "

All hail Stephen Malkmus.

  1. Agreed ... Corners was their last good album, really. But I just love those lines on Shady Lane. I could've easily picked 50 others.
