For the finale of Revolutions Per Movie’s Pavement Week, we are joined by Pavement’s Spiral Stairs (aka Scott Kannberg) & Robert Greene, editor/producer of the new documentary Pavements.

We discuss its kaleidoscopic storytelling, which weaves together a star-studded biopic, a traditional band documentary, a Pavement museum, and the Pavement jukebox musical all into a feature-length film.

We also talk about Robert’s long-term push-pull artistic relationship with the film’s director Alex Ross Perry, Spiral’s involvement with Louder Than You Think (a documentary about early Pavement drummer Gary Young), the process of recording the Pavement EP Watery, Domestic, the sadness surrounding Pavement’s initial breakup, how the film helped Spiral appreciate what the band accomplished, the epic saga of Spiral vs. Lollapalooza, how the "biopic" in Pavements cut close to the bone while still being completely false, the elevated mystery surrounding Pavement, why their three-sided record Wowee Zowee influenced the final edit of the film, the forthcoming soundtrack LP, the future of Pavement and much more!

There's no culture!!! There's no spies!!!

So let's end Pavement Week with this heartfelt, inspiring, and hilarious episode of Revolutions Per Movie.
