even though i'm responding to this message since it's the first 
pavement related one in the newest digest, from the looks of things 
i'm guessing that everyone else wasn't as disappointed as i was with 
_terror_twilight_, correct?

pavement are only second to the dead milkmen in my mind, so it's 
really hard for me to put down something they released...  however, 
in a way, i'd be happy if the rumours were true if they were planning 
on staying in the vein of _terror_twilight_.  for some unknown reason 
that album didn't click with me.  i'm not sure if it was because of 
the high quality production, the happy sound that runs through it or 
the fact that it's different and i'm one of those people who doesn't 
accept change in certain things very well, but i was *VERY* 
disappointed when it was released.

now, other topics touched upon recently...

_dogma_: i saw it and really enjoyed it.  interesting storyline, good 
acting and george carlin as a religious leader should be able to win 
over anyone with a sense of humour.  possibly the best kevin smith 
movie, but i'm still not sure.  (i need to see _clerks_ again.)

vonnegut: i was on a vonnegut kick for a while last year thanks to a 
friend of mine loving him.  i suggest _welcome_to_the_monkey_house_ 
and _cat's_cradle_.  she suggested _timequake_ to me, but i haven't 
picked it up yet.  he's another one of those people that have a great 
messed up sense of humour.

new modest mouse show on rosco's server: very nice.  i don't have it 
all yet, but i really enjoy what i've heard.  i also don't know the 
names of two new songs so far (numbers one and five), and have 
noticed that songs number six and seven ('doin' the cockroach') are 
the same files.  but i still have to thank him for serving us a nice 
bowl of steaming live goodness.

new music: manRay19.  they're a band from my area that needs as much 
exposure as they can get.  they're also very nice people and deserve 
the before mentioned exposure.  check out some mp3s at 
http://www.mp3.com/artists/36/manray19.html -- and, for you people 
who need to label everything, kent the singer/guitar player has 
described them as a 'hardcare' band in past emails to me.   they've 
also referred to themselves as gympcore.  check out the mp3s, spend 
yr money on their *GREAT* album, be enlightened.

happy turkey day to all who happen to be fans of it.
