   If this concerns you, i recommend that you stay clear of all Pavement
interviews. They are notorious mischief makers with the press.  A website
exists that just keeps track of all the lies they have told. The Belle and
Sebastian comment seems pretty inocuous compared to some of the other things
they have claimed.
