The Song That Changed My Life is a segment that gives us the chance to talk with some of our favorite artists about the music that made them who they are today. This time around, we’re joined by Stephen Malkmus, the former frontman of Pavement. The band’s been called one of the best acts from the ’90s. The band broke up in 1999, and Malkmus has kept on, as prolific as ever, dropping 9 records since 2001. His latest record is out now, it’s called “Traditional Techniques.” When we asked him to dish on a song that made him who he is today , he kind of threw us a curveball. His pick: “Love Will Keep Us Together” by Captain & Tenille.
