"Stephen Malkmus is amazing, he really is. I’ve always been a huge fan of Pavement because their music is so creative and well done.

"the album as a format has been around for roughly 58 years. that's roughly 21,000 days... therefore, if you accept this album's rank at 21,609, you come to the unrealistic and inescapable conclusion that ROUGHLY ONE ALBUM PER DAY HAS BEEN RELEASED THAT IS BETTER THAN THE CLONES OF DR.
