Go to any ID show at your local music venue, mention the band's revered name to a stranger, and make a friend for life. But ask virtually any 16-year-old indie newcomer about Pavement's impact on their lives and record collections, and reach the bitter realization that what was once so fresh and utterly indispensable now merely passes with an "eh. " The kids are never quick to dismiss Pavement, as the band is, and likely always will be, heralded among the founding fathers of independent rock as we know it. But somehow, the magic that once made them so vital and potent has faded with age, and just doesn't seem quite as relevant in these high-powered times as it did ten years ago. When Pavement came along with Slanted and Enchanted in 1991, it seemed a revelation: so vastly different from anything before it, and so clearly prescient of everything that would come after. Stephen Malkmus' lazy, pitch-imperfect California drawlin', Spiral Stairs' shredded almost-guitar-playing, and the album's seemingly unfinished half-songs encapsulated the slacker ethos of the time with the hyperactive, restless energy that only hits after long bouts with boredom. Pavement's stream-of-consciousness lyrics and one-take anthems achieved genius through apathy. And in a time when apathy seemed the only option in life, no one said everything by saying nothing at all like those bored Stocktonites. These days, the kids have ambition, and rightfully so. America's flush with cash and prizes, and for once, there's actual opportunity. In this age, when kids come barreling out of high school with enough computer experience to put Nolan Bushnell to shame, indifference would simply be retarded. And the current climate of independent music reflects that with bands like Sigur Rós, Godspeed You Black Emperor and Mogwai who, while all somewhat dreary at times, seem driven by an intense passion to be the best at what they do. Yes, time advances for everyone, it seems. Everyone except Scott Kannberg. Despite Pavement's demise, Kannberg still hangs on tightly to his Spiral Stairs alias, a name which seems an inside joke so closely affiliated with Pavement that it's hard to see how it could exist outside the band. Even the name of the new group he's formed with members of the Moore Brothers (a duo who finds their home on his Amazing Grease label), the Preston School of Industry, is a waning reference to an early Pavement song. It's also undoubtedly another inside joke between Pavement members, as the actual Preston School is a detention and re-education center for juvenile delinquents in Ione, California, just over 40 miles from Pavement's hometown. The music on the Preston School of Industry's debut album, All This Sounds Gas, revels in early 90s alterna-rock, a sound so exhausted it now sounds at least as generic as its equally banal predecessor, freedom rock. The only thing separating the Preston School from the Gin Blossoms is their well-worn Pavement edge. Even so, Pavement's rough-hewn absurdities have been blent with more conventional pop structures by bedroom wannabes for the past decade; the fact that the Preston School is fronted by an ex-member of the band doesn't make their music any less of a mimicry. Three of the album's tracks were written by Kannberg during the sessions for Pavement's swan-song, 1999's Terror Twilight, including the record's lead-off, "Whalebones, " which starts the album off nicely with the kind of lazy, repetition-based melody that should sound familiar to any Pavement addict. But while a pleasant listen, all of the youthful exuberance Kannberg displayed on his Pavement tracks-- even ones as late as Brighten the Corners ' "Date w/IKEA"-- has totally evaporated, and where the song should burst into a fiery distortion overdrive, it's content to meander on and peter out with no sign of actual effort. "The Idea of Fires" and the seven-minute long "Encyclopedic Knowledge of, " both also written in the Terror Twilight days, never seem to gain direction or rise above I-could-do-that mediocrity. While these three tracks seem passable at best, they're never downright offensive. But the uninspired country twang of "A Treasure @ Silver Bank (This Dynasty's for Real)" crosses that line. Senseless lyrics like, "It's a polyester bright day now/ And the dinosaurs are for real, " and, "50 minutes till the muses needs/ Put you out to the trees, " just sound so fucking wrong against the vagabond Travis Tritt backdrop. And a half-hour later, the album closes at its worst with the neverending "Take a Stand, " a pale Soft Bulletin imitation whose hackneyed, off-kilter beat stumbles awkwardly underneath 11, 000 layers of acoustic guitar and a chorus of inept la-la-la's before the song closes with a voice proclaiming it "a brilliant rock odyssey. " All This Sounds Gas might not have been such a weak effort if Kannberg's lyrics actually had anything to say, but nonsense prose has never meshed well with jangly, country-inflected pop. The album also might have improved, however slightly, if they'd left off the embarrassing quasi-experimental keyboard jam, "Blü Sön, " a 44-second excursion to Planet Shame that makes the Byrds' "Moog Raga" seem like a monolith of pulsing electronic genius. But, of course, they didn't, leaving All This Sounds Gas to languish in future obscurity as yet another post-legendary project that fails to live up to its frontman's glory days. Unfortunate.

March 23, 2005 Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase I realize that every review I've ever posted on Amazon has been a negative one. I'm not a negative person; I just want to prevent people from making the same mistakes I've made, such as buying "The Man Who Was Dr. Seuss. " So, I wanted to finally add something positive to this website and rather than give OK Computer its 1, 200th 5-star review I'd like to try to turn someone on to this tragically underrated album. Scott Kannberg (aka Spiral Stairs) took all the most melodic and beautiful elements of Pavement's best work and brought them to PSOI. I wholeheartedly agree with other reviewers that All This Sounds Gas easily trumps any of Malkmus's post-Pavement efforts. Download the free Whalebones mp3 above. If you don't like that than take a high-powered rifle and kindly remove yourself from the gene pool. If you do then buy the album; you won't regret it. P. S. I got a chance to meet Kannberg at an LA show and he's a geniunely nice guy! November 19, 2001 Format: Audio CD While Malkumus is content with playing laid back both live and on album, Spiral is stepping out from his shadow and taking the crown that SM has so clearly given up. This album far outshines SM's and has more sincerity and power than anything Pavement has done for a while as well. Pavement may be dead, but Spiral is just getting started. There is a warmth and passion here that has been missing from rock for some time. I cannot stress to you how much I love this, yes I member what it felt like when you listened to Pavement? Well, if you have grown up a bit and are ready for the next chapter in that history, then you will feel the same but even somehow more satisfied, maybe it is age of both yourself or Spiral, but something just catches here and doesn't let go. Forget those reviews that say this is missing something. It isn't. I am glad SM isn't evident, it is about time Spiral got his shot. He wrote some great anthems for Pavement and now his anthems sound more self-assured and powerful than ever. This is proof that Malkumus wasn't Pavement. Get this and realize why it is one of the very best albums of the year. And you know what makes it so great? It improves with every of like someone else we all used to know. Spiral keep it up, this is greatness. January 20, 2002 Format: Audio CD Sometimes, you don't know what you have until it's gone. I guess I never realized what an important element of Pavement Spiral Stairs was until I heard SM's solo album... while I love "Stephen Malkmus", it's missing the Spiral Stairs tunes that always served as such as great counterpoint to SM's erudite musings. Well, fear not, because there is almost an hour's worth of those tunes contained within the slime-green CD that is "All This Sounds Gas". The album is lo-fi sounding--- think pre-"Brighten The Corners" sonically. Guitars sound real, drums primitive, vocals alive. Musically, it's guitar-pop with a few countryish touches. It reminded me a little of the Frank Black album "Dog in The Sand". There are some very strong tunes. Overall, I'm not as in love with it as SM's solo album, but it's a great, tunefull and well-written album that will spend plenty of time in any Pavement fan's CD player. May 21, 2002 Format: Audio CD All This Sounds Gas is another record released in 2001 by an ex-Pavement member. This time, the honour goes to Spiral Stairs [aka Scott Kannberg], who contributed guitar and occasional vocal duties to Pavement. Apparently some of these songs were written by Spiral for Pavement's final album 'Terror Twilight', but obviously weren't released on that record. However, on their new home on All This Sounds Gas, these Spiral written songs have more room to breathe, as opposed to being surrounded by Malkmus' songs on the Pavement albums. The album has a raw lo-fi feel (as it was recorded onto 4-track minidisc), and continues the Pavement trend of having many different genres blended into one album (and in some cases even into single songs). Being a debut album, there are one or two obligatory dud songs, but the standout tunes (including 'Whalebones' and 'Solitare') outweigh the duds by far. Discussion has been rife over whether the PSOI or SM album is the best post-Pavement album so far, I say pick them both up and compare for yourselves, as both albums are fine indeed. August 15, 2002 Format: Audio CD I bought my first PSOI recording ('idea of fires' single) by accident on a CD buying binge. Luckily I'm a big-time pavement fan. Idea of fires is a cool song, but it was the last track 'save our happiness' that got me hooked. I had to get 'all this sounds gas' imported (i live in a cultural back-water) and i'm not regretting paying a huge amount for it. It's really just as cool as any pavement album (except crooked rain crooked rain and maybe not as cool as twilight terror) but it's different. The singing sounds different and there are alot more sounds going on and it takes a bit to get used to, but after a few listens, you'll love it. There's also some wiered, cool lines that'll just get stuck in your head and give you a smile that will last a while. Lines such as 'jets are breaking sound, my feet still stuck into the ground' and others. What can I say, i'm no music schollar, but if you are into pavement, or any cruisy, popy, rock and roll, give it a listen. April 1, 2016 Format: Audio CD Be sure to buy this marvellous album as a double vinyl LP! Enjoyable sound with two extra songs. Much better than cd. Vinyl edition might be in print only as a limited amount. Still worth of money. Scott Kannberg is a Master of indie rock. Hopefully they will make some further albums together. This is like R. E. M on their halcyon days! September 29, 2001 Format: Audio CD I love Pavement. And when he was in Pavement, I thought Spiral Stairs rocked. While this CD is okay, it isn't great in my opinion. I don't see myself listening to it much in the future. I think Spiral Stairs is a very talented guitar player, however, I don't think he was looking for that kind of sound for this album. Most of the album struck me as slow and, frankly, boring. No crazy guitar riffs like the old days. My advice would be to not get your expectations up for something like a Pavement release. However, don't discount Spiral Stairs' independent effort; just because I don't find it that inspiring doesn't mean you won't.

"badly designed and overcrowded" (p. 21).? Sexual abuse, violent assaults, and suicide attempts were commonplace, and within the open dormitory setting staff could provide no protection for the wards.? Gang activity thrived at Preston, as vulnerable youth sought out the safety of affiliation rather than become prey to more sophisticated wards, or suffer the atrocious 23-hour isolation cells that served as protective custody.

Preston school of industry watchdog. (Last Updated On: January 5, 2020) Perched on a hill overlooking the town of Ione, Ca, is an ominous presence that screams horror film and haunted encounters. Known as the Preston Castle, this menacing structure’s eerie appearance takes on a whole new level of frightening charm after one learns of its ghostly past. What had started out as a reform school for wards of the state in the early 1890’s, developed into one of the region’s most mysteriously tragic entities with reported ghost sightings, tales of unspeakable brutalities, a living history and at least one unsolved murder. Preston Castle’s Tragic History In the 66 years of the original Preston School of Industry, there were hundreds of escape attempts, numerous violent encounters, abhorred testimonies of sexual abuse, inhumane punishments and murder. Perhaps, no murder is more infamous than the “unsolved” brutal murder of Anna Corbin. Anna was the head housekeeper at Preston. On Thursday, February 23, 1950, Anna was brutally beaten to death and discovered shortly before a staff meeting. Historical accounts of where the body was found differ between sources. Some state she was found in a locked basement closet, some say near the kitchen and some say a supply room. ?One thing is clear, she was found in the basement around 2pm bludgeoned to death with a rope around her neck. The list of suspects was initially a long one. It was filled with both wards and staff. Eventually a ward named Eugene Monroe became the main suspect. Unfortunately, he was never found guilty of this crime. His first two trials were hung trials and he was acquitted in the third trial. Monroe was also a suspect in two other murders outside of Preston. Within a few years of Corbin’s murder, Monroe was incarcerated for murder in Oklahoma. In addition to Mrs. Corbin’s brutal death, there have been many suspicious reports of wards dying due to severe illnesses like tuberculosis. Unfortunately, there are also tales of wards being killed by guards and other wards like Sam Goins and Herman Huber. These tales are often debated by researchers, family members of former wards, protestors of Preston’s existence and those who support the school’s restoration. Despite the uncertainty of the details surrounding the deaths of the wards, there’s a nearby cemetery filled with graves of wards who were “rehabilitated” at Preston. Check out my partial list of the Famous and Infamous wards of Preston School of Industry Preston Castle’s Haunted Past Nowadays, many Paranormal enthusiasts and professional ghost hunters claim that the Preston Castle is haunted. In other terms, there are spiritual “visitors” that reside in the castle. Anna Corbin’s spirit is often reported as one of the main spirits that “visits” the castle. Other reports claim that spirits of the wards who were killed while at Preston, or who died of health issues, also “visit” the castle. Additionally, there’s an annual Paracon held at Preston that draws ghost hunters, paranormal enthusiasts from far and wide to be a part of this supernatural experience. Abandoned Preston Castle School of Industry The school’s castle structure was closed in 1960 after a more modern facility was built nearby. The castle building itself sat for roughly 40 years, unused, not cared for, and just withering away with time. Tales of the brutalities and murders began to fade into the archives as the town put behind them the most notable Preston tragedies. But, the wards who continued serving their time at the newer Preston facilities, quickly learned about the old castle’s tales. This “history lesson” served as a deterrence to many wards and flirted with becoming urban legends among the region. The following is a video clip of restoration work being done on the castle in 1988: In 2001, the Preston Castle Foundation, in effort to preserve the castle, received a 50+ year lease of the building. In November of 2014, the foundation received ownership of the property. My encounter with the foundation and its docents was pleasant and very informative. Their efforts to preserve and restore the building goes beyond the glorification of death and brutality. In my opinion, their efforts center on returning the castle to its role as a community partner like it used to be. Back in the early 20th century, the Preston School’s infirmary was used by locals who needed medical assistance. Additionally, the school’s band played in local establishments and the sports teams brought some positive encouragement to the community. Preston Castle Tours Today, the Preston Castle Foundation offers tours to the public. These tours focus on the school’s positive history, touching on some of the paranormal and doesn’t shy away from some of the tragedies. For more information on The Preston Castle Foundation and their tours, check out their website or contact them at 209-256-3623 The Preston Castle is a California Historical Landmark and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The following video clip was once used at the beginning of public tours of Preston: My Tour of Preston Castle When entering the town of Ione, the castle’s Romanesque Revival architecture kicks you in the gut and steals your breath. In fact, I never seemed to fully catch my breath until I left the town of Ione. Turning onto Waterman Road seemed like I was entering a ghost town. It reminded me of my trip to the ghost town of North Bloomfield. All of the buildings were empty and lifeless. The road slowly takes you up to the Preston Castle gates, where I arrived about 35 minutes before the tour began. So, I decided to park by the gate and walk back down the street to visit the “modern” section of the Preston School of Industry. A Warning Sign As I stepped onto the grounds of the Colonial house for the first pictures of the day, a large vulture landed on top of the home almost directly above me. I could hear the wings flapping prior to its landing. Once on the roof, it let out an ungodly screech that sent chills up my spine. It was as if the scavenger of death was warning me of things to come. Either that, or it was putting a claim on my carcass. This was the largest bird I have ever seen in person. In fact it’s 5 foot wingspan made it look more like a medieval creature. I quickly recognized the vulture’s red face and black body. I hurried out into the grass to take a picture of this winged creature. It was an eerie experience and one that weighed on me as I prepared for my four hour tour of the haunted castle. Vulture on top of the Colonial Hou se The Castle’s Exterior If the castle’s appearance doesn’t make you slightly apprehensive to enter, it’s massive size, which at times can block out the sun, will. Approaching the steps to the main entrance, my senses went into overdrive. It’s like I could hear sounds more clearly, smell things more clearly and feel every breeze no matter how gentle it may be. Being on a Photography Tour allowed me the ability to freely roam the grounds. I wasn’t confined to a designed tour of the castle. So, I took advantage of this freedom, and chose to explore the exterior first. It’s not a quick journey by any means to walk around the exterior. In fact, this truly puts the castle’s size into proper perspective. One thing I noticed right away, the hopeless views from the windows. It was if the glass was especially created to strip the hope from each ward. They were dark and gloomy like a storm filled sky. The stairways into the various entrances seemed worn from usage. The bricks, which were built in San Quentin and Folsom Prisons, gave the building a lifeless, reddish outer shell. Initially, Preston School of Industry wanted to provide a “home” feel to the wards and not a prison like feel. Unfortunately, at no time during my lap around the building, did I see anything that would make me think, feel or imagine a “home” type feel to this place. In fact, it was the exact opposite. I felt despair, hopelessness and a drain on the soul. Inside the Preston Castle Entering the Preston Castle was more than just an excitingly, creepy exploration. It was a reminder of my past. Growing up, as a troubled youth and made many stupid decisions as a teenager. Truth be told, I could have easily ended up in a juvenile detention center due to all of the criminal activities that I committed. There’s an old adage that says “boys will be boys. ” Well, I would like to add a footnote to that adage and say “sometimes boys will be wards. ” If I spent my teenage years in California ?during the heyday of this castle, I could have easily been sent to Preston. I was so lucky not to get caught for any of the foolish crimes I committed when lost in my anger filled, misguided teenage years. It wasn’t hard for me to put myself in the shoes of these wards and imagine the hard, brutal life at Preston. However, it also made me count my blessings that I never ended up in a place like this. The Basement of Preston Castle After making a lap around the building, I decided to head back to the courtyard and enter the castle through the basement into the activity room. Right away, you will notice that the inside of the building is like a maze, spanning both vertically and horizontally. It’s really hard to decide which direction to go. My plan of attack was to spend one hour on each floor. The 4th floor wasn’t open due to safety issues. The floor plan was rather strange as the shower room was positioned directly behind the activity room with not much privacy. Perhaps, the most intriguing part of the activity room is the antique looking piano hiding in the corner. After tickling the ivory for a few moments, I proceeded down the grim looking hallway. I walked straight into a large room, bypassing stairs up to the first floor and a hallway leading toward the kitchen.
