I would take some David Pajo action in any form. Thinking about his stint in Tortoise made me wonder if he might show up with them, which led to a trace amount of hoping for some Slint action. Not that I'm holding my breath, but that would be awesome.
^ hmm, had no clue he played with TOrtoise. Me and my friend came across his album "Whatever Mortal" and really dug it. Either Papa M, or a jam or two with TOrtoise would be very welcome.

I didn't know that for the longest time either. It's pretty cool discovering new bands and realizing that members were in other awesome bands too. I liked Slint when I started listening to TNT and Millions Now Living Will Never Die, and didn't even realize David Pajo was on those albums.
Here's the link to the following, just for disclosure's sake.....from the official Tortoise site.
95 Luckily, David Pajo (Slint, King Kong) is available and interested in filling the vacancy for the tour. After the tour, everyone feels good about the chemistry of the group and Pajo stays on. During that time, the group hammers out the ideas that would be the core of the "Millions..." LP. The LP is complete that fall, and slated for a January release.
96 "MNLWND" is released and the group embark on their biggest spate of touring so far. A run of dates in the UK with Stereolab are followed by extensive continental European coverage with The Sea And Cake and Trans Am supporting. Upon returning to the states, they begin their first-ever US tour taking them throughout the country over the course of 6 weeks. After a brief rest, they make their first trip to Japan (after a (hilarious in retrospect) short detour through Seoul).
97 The six-piece lineup completes the European dates in the midst of recording their third LP, "TNT." Again, as the live shows were successful with this lineup, the decision is made to bring Jeff aboard full time. The TNT sessions are notable in that they are recorded entirely at the newly upgraded (i.e. computer equipped) Soma Electronic Music Studios.
98 David Pajo decides to leave the group following completion of recording to focus on his work with Aerial M (later Papa M). The rest of the band soldiers on, a five piece yet again.
