The Quietus:

So I’m guessing that Pavement never had a “when hell freezes over” kind of falling out to get over like The Eagles but why are you getting back together now?

BN: No, we quit in 1999 because we were exhausted, didn’t know what direction to go in and Stephen wanted to do something else. We might as well reunite. And did it take a lot of prolongued dialogue and intense meetings fueled by whisky drinking? No, our longtime U.S. booking agent Boche had dinner with Stephen in Chicago this Summer and they agreed to work on Pavement in 2010. The rest of us have always been willing.

Will you do new material?

BN: No.

Is this a once and once only kind of deal?

BN: I’m pretty sure that’s the case.
