94. DAVID PAJO, PART 1: FAVORITES (AS IN RECORDS), FIRSTS (AS IN PRE-SLINT BANDS), & FLAVORINGS (AS IN TORTOISE, YEAH YEAH YEAHS, INTERPOL, & GANG OF FOUR!)
Our 9-hour interview with indie rock legend David Pajo covers every single aspect of his career—his influences, Slint, Tortoise, and his consistently amazing solo career, typically released under the moniker Papa M. In Part 1, “Favorites, Firsts, & Flavorings,” Pajo talks with Discograffiti about his favorite albums of all time, his pre-Slint metal outfits, and the myriad post-Slint bands in which he’s played where the members are on the lookout for that indefinable Pajo flavor. We’ll learn about what it was about the early Louisville punk scene that made David feel like he finally belonged, the totally uncool band he admits was his first-ever concert, and why he feels a deep-seated need to leave bands.
