Thanks to Bob Nastanovich, Rebecca Clay Cole from Pavement is here to discuss her Elephant 6 Recording Co. community, Pavement’s influence on it, and the recent and painful losses they’ve endured, the rise of Neutral Milk Hotel, how she got into playing music and embraces “sideman” roles, the beginning and end of her supergroup Wild Flag and Stephen Malkmus’ quiet role in that, joining Pavement and her thoughts about the various aspects of the forthcoming film Pavements, which she is in, current projects like Clay Cole, future plans, and much more.
