Ibold is one of the luckiest musicians alive. He gets to play in Pavement AND sonic youth! What a resume'!

[@cactaceous]

I met him twice. Very down to earth humble guy. The first time at a Battles/Gang Gang Dance gig in Central Park 2008. I asked him about the guys in the band and he said everyone was fine, that Stephen was doing so well he didn't need them. Quote. I told him I had seen Malkmus live two years before and he told me he had been at the same gig. Well, I would get to see Pavement reunited at that same location, Central Park Summerstage two years later in 2010. Before then, summer 2009, I went w a friend to the SoHo Apple Store to see Sonic Youth play there on their very last tour I believe. After the short gig I walked into the subway heading uptown and there was Ibold w his bass bag on the train! I told him I was at the gig and he asked if I had liked it. We spoke about how it was recording The Eternal album and before I knew, it was exactly one stop we got on at Spring he got off on Bleecker, he said he had to get off and go "work". Later I found out that by work he referred to him being bartender at the Washington Square bar Great Jones Cafe. I went a few times to GJC and never saw him there.

Darn, only a quarter of a century later and already this looks like something from a different age. The world is changing so fast, now. What a terrible terrible shame; this is beautiful.

[@the_letter_b]

Yeah, blame technology and the push for constant trend changes from big companies to keep people buying more stuff (and their helpers in big cities obsessed with being cooler than everyone else, constantly changing their styles and interests). It's far easier to make and share music from a laptop or even tablet now so we've seen a massive shift towards digital based music. I hope there's a backlash but forming a band takes a lot of effort, I just can't see most young people thinking it's worth it when they can potentially become big with far less effort via software.

It’s a TV production thing - get multiple takes so if you end up with, hypothetically, three and a half messy takes of a song that is already pretty slack-y to begin with, as long as you’ve got good audio from just one of the takes then in theory you’d have three and a half times as much footage to pull from to put together an edit suitable for broadcast.
