Is it a Crisis or a Boring Change?
This one's for Josh. ;-) Oh, I tease!
Stephen Malkmus is an unsung guitar player. You wouldn't know just how good he is unless you saw him live. I didn't. He can cover the fret board and play some sweet licks. He improvises too.
Malkmus was the one that got me to take the plunge into Radiohead. Saw him live and he was like "have you guys listened to Radiohead's new album, OK Computer?" Then he went on about how amazing it was. I always liked "Creep" and I always liked "Fake Plastic Trees," but for some reason I never checked them out any further. That week I bought OK Computer and had one of the greatest listening experiences ever.

Go back to those gold soundz/and keep my advent to yourself/because it's nothing i don't like/is it a crisis or a boring change?/when it's central, so essential/it has a nice ring when you laugh/at the low life opinions/and they're coming to the chorus now.../i keep my address to yourself 'cause we need secrets/we need secrets/back right now
because i never wanna make you feel/that you're social/never ignorant soul/believe in what you wanna do/and do you think that is a major flaw?/when they rise up in the falling rain/and if you stay around with your knuckles ground down/the trial's over, weapon's found/i keep my address to myself because it's secret/cuz it's secret...back right now
so drunk in the august sun/and you're the kind of girl i like/because you're empty and i'm empty/and you can never quarantine the past/did you remember in december
that i won't eat you when i'm gone/and if i go there, i won't stay there/because i'm sitting here too long/i've been sitting here too long/and i've been wasted/advocating that word for the last word/last words come up all you've got to waste

One of my favorite Pavement songs, period.
A couple of months ago I finally went out and purchased the two delux Pavement albums, Slanted and Enchanted and Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain.
I enjoyed them both very much. Gold Soundz has such a unique feel and pace to it. I was really taken aback by this song when I first listened to the album. In fact, most of their songs have a very weird pace or tone. This just struck me as one of their finer efforts.
