Looking for a tired face

More Pavement ATP footage; I've never been a massive fan of The Walkmen, but "The Rat" is a stunning song, and after a couple of false starts due to technical difficulties served to build excitement levels, they absolutely nailed it. And look: another Pavement song, Wowee Zowee track "Father To A Sister Of Thought," one of two singles from that album (the other being "Rattled By The Rush") released to absolutely no success, later inspiring Stephen Malkmus's immortal admission that "I was smoking a lot of grass. They sounded like hit singles to me."

The Walkmen - "The Rat"
