why a tribute to Pavement? "Everything is ending here" is
my way to pay homage to one of the greatest bands in the
history of music. However, in these introdutive lines, I
don't want to spend too many words remembering how pavement
changed the music scene throughout the 90s with their really
cool and fresh sound and attitude because this compilation
is born first of all from my love for a band that personally
influences my life in a really strong way. Some Pavement songs
are directly bound to exact moments in my life...I was one
of the hundreds of indie kids at the start of the 90s and
Pavement, for me, was thee band. I will never forget the first
time I heard their music and who introduced me to that incredible
spond (thank you Dodo!). I will never forget how excited I
was to come back home from the record shop with a new Pavement
album under my arm. I'll never forget when I saw them playing
live for the first time. I had a terrible temoerature but I
couldn't miss them. I will never forget the very first time
I had a chance to use the internet and the first thing I
typed into the search engine was the word Pavement. I will
never forget when I first heard of the split. It was after
a gig of yuppie flu and quickspace when we went to a restaurant
and Sean from Quickspace, who a couple of years later will
become one of my best friends and one of my labelmates, told
me the big news...well, it was traumatic...as if someone was
telling me that my parents were about to divorce. Finally, I
will never forget when on January 10th 2002 I received an e-mail
from Spiral Stairs telling me he was approving my idea for
releasing this tribute album with the phrase- "Thanks for the
kind words for me and Pavement. I'd be honoured to have you do
a tribute compilation." From that moment on I started to contact
the bands that are now a part of this tribute, trying to put
together a collection of recordings from artists that have shown
the same desire I had to pay their respects to one of the most
influential bands ever. This has been the toughest album homesleep
has ever tried to release-so many bands to co-ordinate, so many
bands asking to join the tribute-sadly not all of whom we have
been able to accommodate...but the results have been overwhelming
and something we are very proud of. Huge thanks go out to all
the bands involved. "Guys, you've done such a good work!" My last
words here go out to Pavement. Please consider this album a
personal thank you for all those incredible sensations and
feelings I have felt and I still feel whenever I hear your music.
Grazie.

呼 把這篇文章原封不動的打上來 真考驗我的英打
這篇文章不長 用字也都很簡單 文法有點怪怪的
畢竟是一個義大利人的真情告白
非常真摯感人 我看的時候都流淚了
相信所有喜歡pavement的人都會有所共鳴的
