The Pavement Conundrum

We're now deep into round 2 of The Pavement Conundrum and things are just getting worse. Chris is a class traitor. Paul just worked two shifts. Mark wrote his notes drunk. Thankfully, the gang can call on the talents of special guest Joseph Goss to provide insight into eight fantastic Pavement tunes along with the secrets of the barbershop and where in Scotland you need to go to get a Princess Diana haircut.

The team also discusses emotional erogenous zones, the singing doll Cricket, My Radio (again) and why are we here again? Oh yeah, Pavement.

Follow the podcast on Twitter: @ConundrumPod for all things Pavement and our special guest Joseph Goss: @JosephGoss for all things Barber.

In another BUMPER episode of The Conundrum, Paul, Mark and Chris are joined by the fantastic Steve Alexander for another chaotic, anxious and traumatic round of the world's only podcast (apart from John Rogan on Spotfly.)

Steve and the boys cover another EIGHT Pavement songs, covering all the usual stuff PLUS Billy Joel, why members of Smashing Pumpkins have created a media monopoly, Chris being at war with a neighbouring country AND Chris' recent trip to the dentist. (There's a lot of Chris this week.) Oh and Mark has something to say about My Radio. (Paul is fine, by the way. Thanks for asking.)

All that PLUS we reveal who one of the greatest professional, football header-teaching, music organisations of all time is/are. That sentence is a mess.

Paul, Mark and Chris return with a BUMPER episode full of Pavement chat and A SPECIAL GUEST: it's jD of Meeting Malkmus! jD rejoins The Conundrum to help run the rule over 8 songs by our favourite band, share the scoop on the final episodes of Meeting Malkmus and teach the boys what respect really means.

Elsewhere, Gall shares his idea of hell, Mark's radio doesn't work and Paul has a rhetorical question.

It's the return of the world's only podcast after a short winter break and Paul, Mark and Chris are ready to start taking this whole conundrum seriously. Mark is feline good after some happy pet news, Paul wants you to get real, but also not worry about Gold Soundz and these pretzels are making Chris thirsty.

In addition, the trio have drafted in friend of the podcast and all-round good egg Craig Angus of the excellent band Savage Mansion to assist with the first episode of the second round.

Elsewhere, the team discusses Wordle, the long-forgotten WCW wrestler Buzzy Fuzz, the undisputed ranking of R.E.M. albums and honestly, don't worry about Gold Soundz.

It's the final podcast of 2021 and Paul, Mark, Chris and Duncan (with the ghost of Emre) have to sort through the final 16 tracks in the Second Chance Saloon.

There's an above-average amount of shenanigans and it's about time someone got fired around here.

The Conundrum is taking a short holiday in January 2022. Thanks for listening.

You only get four chances to make a first impression and in this episode of the world's only podcast, your least favourite Pavement fans are addressing the burning issue of The Second Chance Saloon. We've crunched the numbers and it's time to work together and against each other.

Paul, Mark, Chris, Duncan and the ghost of Emre begin the mammoth task of working out which 8 of the knocked out songs get a chance to re-enter The Conundrum. It's a mess; it's a goddam mess.

Bob Nastanovich, please call us. We want to cut a deal.

Ahead of the second round of the Pavement Conundrum, Paul and Chris caught up with Pavement superfan Steve Alexander who, when he isn't doing his day job as NBC Sports EDGE’s Senior NBA Editor, is often found helping the great and the good of indie rock with their draft picks, running trivia nights featuring Bob Nastanovich or being told by his kids to turn off Forklift.

Steve shares his Pavement origin story, chats about the many times he's seen (AND MET) the band and takes a dive into six wonderful Pavement tracks with Chris and Paul. Trust us, this gentleman really knows his Pavement.

(Mark was moving house during this episode but if you ask Chris, he'll tell you Mark was in jail.)

It's the final frontier in the first round of The Pavement Conundrum and in this explosive episode, your hosts are visited by two uninvited ghosts. It's a spooky experience but one that comes at a price...

Elsewhere, the gang discuss Indiana Jones and the False Holy Grail, Stormzy putting on a show for one lucky Pavement Conundrum host and would you believe it? There's prosperity in the hills of the Pavement Conundrum apparently... but what colour should you paint those walls? Oh and 8 more Pavement songs, if that wasn't already obvious.

Keep up with whatever we're doing on Twitter (because we can't) - @ConundrumPod

It's almost the end of round one and your hosts are delving deeeeep into some Pavement classics in this episode with another eight tunes up for discussion.

Elsewhere, the gang discusses the geography of their home towns, playing guitar in Latin and the ultimate destruction of both the UK and the USA so just normal stuff, really.
