    the director commentary for this on the DVD is one of the funniest things I've ever heard. they forgot to time all the jokes, malkmus HATED doing his bit here too, he was ill and it was freezing, and he thinks that terrible shot of him driving looks awful. check it out if you can.

    The title of the song most likely comes from when Wowee Zowee was being recorded; Steve West set up an art studio near where they were recording the album, and started painting plastic civil war figurines.

      @@Boomie_the_handle Of course he can I was just riffing on the song Westie Can Drum thinking that was what the OP was possibly referring to since the chorus in that song is "oh Westie, he cannot drum". I guess you could say he's average but he was one part of the whole that made such good music that Pavement is still in my top ten favorite bands along with Built to Spill, Silver Jews, The Jicks, Pixies and so on. I know, crazy that three of my top ten are related. Now the question is who was the better Pavement drummer? I'd have to go with Young on that one.

      +Bored Now I tracked it down, its off the Kids in the Hall Brain candy soundtrack. Its on the Wowee Zowee sordid sentinels re-issue too. Kannberg (spiral stairs) wrote the lyrics. Pretty much foretold the future, and if you read any interviews, Spiral really "didn't want it to end this way."

      it's a difficult thing to do.. and there's a distinct difference between the vocal of Spiral and Malkmus. continuity becomes less pronounced and if the gap is to wide then the albums can take on a schizophrenic vibe..

      You can listen to SS solo stuff or Preston School of Industry to get an idea of what it would have sounded like if SS had more contributions. SS's stuff that was included in Pavement was his strongest material. I only wish he had two songs on Terror Twilight instead of none.
