“Summer Babe (Winter Version)” by Pavement

Yeah, let’s go with an old favorite.

When I discovered Pavement in high school, it pretty much changed the way I digested music for the rest of my life. I had started to part with my friends, musically, in subtle ways up until that point. But Pavement was that first real step where I established my own taste independent of any single person. It was also the first band I connected with my brother over. Summer Babe was my first favorite song, the first track off their first LP which was, for a while, my favorite too. Other songs and another LP are my favorite now, but you never forget your first.

Sidenote: Pandora tells me that if I like Summer Babe, I would like the Pixies and Built to Spill. All right.
