This list has been -- and will continue to be -- compiled from my general knowledge of the band, questions that arise on the Pavement Mailing List and questions that I have had answered that others may be curious about.
I am willing to take the time to try to get a rather easy and quick, yet comprehensive list together so if you have a question/answer to add please email it to me. The idea JUST hit me to start doing this, so the FAQ is very lacking and hopefully with the help of others, and the list I will be able to get this going. Please bear the minimal content, I hope to have more soon. Enough babbling... Go back to I'VE GOT STYLE.
