Confirming what most alternative/indie fans already knew but neither pumpkinheads nor Pavement fans ever suspected, this contract (photocopy) proves the Corgan/Malkmus beef of '94 was staged by a PR firm in Chicago.
Not wanting to "deal with, you know, the festival bullshit" Pavement opted out of the mainstream spotlight that was Lolla, while Billy Corgan was more than eager for the attention - and then some.
"Cherub Rock" is a better song than "Range Life" but rumor has it Pavement's Reunion Tour generated more revenue than Machina, Zeitgeist & Oceana combined.
