PAVEMENT

(A Biography)

  Hello.  Hello again.  I'm S.M., the singer from Pavement.  Wowee Zowee is
our third LP.  We hope you like it.  If your CD player has a random play
button, the album sounds good that way.  We recorded it down in Memphis, TN
at Easley Studios in November.  It was a special time for everyone
involved.


  Do you like progress?  Not me.  Progress is predictable and predictability
involves science.  I want nothing to do with science.  Life is not a
chemistry test.  We spend our time in the smoking section, killing
ourselves slowly, avoiding the light at all costs.  Table of contents,
table of elements, what difference does it make?


  My art has been broken.  You should know that already.  Is that ironic?


  Whether you listen to our CD or not, please try to avoid the conceptual
life.  Trust your friends and family, hug your children for us. We love
them from a distance.

From the cradle to the garage, yours truly

Stephen Malkmus
