I’m cautiously excited, because they really are my favorite band, but…

  1. Rumors of a Pavement reunion crop up every year or two
  2. They’re notoriously cryptic pranksters
  3. Their live shows, by all accounts, were always fairly hit and miss
  4. SM & The Jicks kick all kinds of ass
  5. Inevitable reunion stigma

This isn’t to say it couldn’t be good, or wouldn’t be good; some reunions have been awesome and worthwhile. Damned if I don’t want to go anyway.

Update: It’s totally real and Amy and I are totally going to go. I always wanted an excuse to visit New York for more than an hour.

If you hold down the left trigger and then depress the right trigger twice quickly during “Taxman,” the band will squabble over songwriting credits. George will walk out of the room dejected.

If you press A three times in rapid succession while moving the left stick from left to right, the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi will disillusion all four Beatles.

If you hold down A and B buttons at the same time during any of the White Album tracks, Paul will yell at Ringo to go home for the day and then overdub his drum parts when he leaves.
