Pavement and Goodie Mob Reuniting (Not With Each Other, With Themselves)


So surely you've heard that Pavement is reuniting. (Are you as thoroughly enthused about this as I am? Are you wearing corduroys and New Balance running shoes? Well, you're boring. But that's okay. We can meet at Starbucks and play Scrabble or something.) Anyway, another great band from that decade is also coming together again to make old people happy: the seminal Atlanta rap quartet Goodie Mob.

After two powerful albums (1995's Soul Food, whereupon they coined the genre-defining term "dirty south," and 1998's Still Standing) and one lame one ('99's World Party) the group's focal point, Cee-Lo, left to embark upon a solo career. (The remaining three members, Big Gipp, T-Mo and Khujo, named their next album One Monkey Don't Stop No Show, which wasn't very nice.) Cee-Lo, of course, would achieve his greatest stardom in 2006, with producer Dangermouse, as the duo Gnarls Barkley.

They've made up since the split, as good people will, joining their friends Outkast and others from the old Dungeon Family crew for a photo shoot that was scheduled to run in Vibe just as the magazine folded. And this weekend, the original four will take the stage at Atlanta's Masquerade Club to perform their first concert together in almost ten years.

It promises to be very crunk.

My favorite thing about Stephen Malkmus is that he takes his family to Music Together.
