    One of my favorite albums!
  

*by B***Y on Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2021*

I really enjoyed the author's nostalgia associated with Wowee Zowee. That was the first album by Pavement that I bought and listened to. It was my entry point into a band that would become a staple of my late high school and college life. Nevertheless, Charles' review of the album is peppered with his theory that Wowee Zowee was an intentionally "difficult" album that Pavement deliberately made to sabotage their careers and maintain a "slacker" image that so typified "Gen X". By doing this, Charles buys into the stereotype of slackers and the myth of Gen X. Thankfully, through his many entertaining interviews, those associated with the album, especially members of the band, refute Charles' notion. I especially enjoyed his conversation with Gerard Cosley, head of Matador Records, who laughs off Charles' hypothesis about the album. Whatever the case, the book was a quick read about one of my favorite albums, and he had access to members of the band. One of the funniest things about this book though was that it seemed that none of the band members could remember the stories behind the recording of the album. They all only seemed to remember about the barbeque in Memphis, where the album was recorded

*by C***Y on Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2010*

This is a very well-done overview of a mostly unsung album by a great band.As with a lot of the 33 1/3rd series, autobiography plays a part, but Bryan Charles is a keen, level-headed fan with a rich memory for time and place, and he uses his own background to give his reporting a foundation. Since we know how he feels about the group and exactly why, it amplifies his exploration of "Wowee Zowee" as he encounters and interviews the key figures behind it.Just one thing about Charles' book was distracting, and this is totally my opinion. During a fair amount of the book, his style, phrasing, and sentence structure seem to owe a pretty heavy debt to the "White Jazz"-era prose of crime novelist James Ellroy. Charles doesn't suddenly go ultraviolent, but he does tend toward the short, staccato beats of Ellroy, with some of the hipster vibe. Call me crazy, but if you know the crime author's patter, you might see what I'm talking about in this portion:"I told him I'd heard about a meeting with Matador and two of the Pavement guys. Gerard was pushing Wowee Zowee. You were checked out. You were on the phone or something, not listening. You said the record was s--t and nothing could be done with it."Or this..."I regressed a little, became a gaping fan ... I nudged my friend Jim. He stared too. Our dinner companions were square. They didn't know who Pavement was or get the big deal. Half a beer later I relaxed and quit staring so much. But seeing Mark Ibold still blew my mind...."There are about two dozen more instances I could cite, but that'd probably only make me seem more OCD. And I realize this is an elaborate quibble, to be sure. Plus, if Charles actually is aping Ellroy, there are certainly worse or less appropriate writers he could mimic. Style aside, the overall product is a fine dissection of an excellent album.
