94. DAVID PAJO 1: FAVORITES, FIRSTS, & FLAVORINGS (TORTOISE, YEAH YEAH YEAHS, INTERPOL & GANG OF 4!)

Our 9-hour interview with indie rock legend David Pajo covers every single aspect of his career-his influences, Slint, Tortoise, and his consistently amazing solo career, typically released under the moniker Papa M. In Part 1, “Favorites, Firsts, & Flavorings,” Pajo talks with Discograffiti about his favorite albums of all time, his pre-Slint metal outfits, and the myriad post-Slint bands in which he’s played where the members are on the lookout for that indefinable Pajo flavor. We’ll learn about what it was about the early Louisville punk scene that made David feel like he finally belonged, the totally uncool band he admits was his first-ever concert, and why he feels a deep-seated need to leave bands.

Perhaps the best interview / podcast I've heard in a while... been a devoted Pajo fan since 2000... When he opened for Sunn O))) a few years ago there was a group of about 30 of us rammed up at the front in front of David (while the Sunn O))) fans all hung out in the back) we were transfixed on every note as if us and David were all one fluid 'thing'... incredible experience... also finally someone has the same opinion as me on Stereolab's 'Dots and Loops'... thank you for your work!!!
