I'm sure Pavement is an acquired taste - sometimes their self-
conscious cleverness can get in the way of a good song. But 
that's something you either like or dislike about them. Hey, 
I never did see mentioned Helmet in an audities list either. 
Guess ironic rock doesn't play well with this crowd eh?
