Recently, I went to Portland, Oregon, to interview the gentlemen of Pavement for Rolling Stone. You can now read the resulting article, detailing what they’ve been doing for the past decade and how they got back together–but it’s not online, so you’ll have to pick up a copy of the new issue (featuring my old friend Shaun White on the cover). Delightfully, the same issue also includes an interview with Billy Corgan, meaning that the magazine appears to be doing its best to reignite the old “Range Life” feud.

A paragraph that didn’t fit into the article:

What’s the most rock-star thing about you?
Spiral Stairs: “My name.”
Mark Ibold: “My expensive taste in liquors.”
Steve West: “My beard. And my glasses.”
Bob Nastanovich: “I can scream like a rock star.”
Stephen Malkmus: “I’m pretty fucking skinny.”
