I'm Thinking of Spoiling Things: Pavements

At what point does a bit border on self-parody? Is releasing a three-sided LP consisting of experimental music meant to alienate your audience in any way similar to delaying the release of your sporadically scheduled podcast due to some form of intangible anxiety built on a nonexistent expectation of bit-laden descriptions? Can this lineage of bits be traced back to the history of long-winded run on sentences often woven by its author on the written film criticism side of his work? It's hard to say, but just to be sure, we'll be producing a feature length biopic documenting the rise and fall of the world's most important and influential podcast. How they met, the critical legacy of their work, the tumultuous lead up to the infamous Things episode, the history of their months-long hiatus, and the heartwarming story of how they've reconnected in their old age to put on some more shows for their fervent dedicated audience. Actors have painstakingly studied the hosts across their hundreds of hours of compiled work in order to faithfully create an awards contending film capable of documenting such historic moments as Stephen and Vaughn discussing Final Destination: Bloodlines, Hurry Up Tomorrow, and most importantly – Pavements. It might seem like a lot of effort for one podcast, but no expense can be spared to make someone realize that writing an episode description just really isn't that big of a deal.
