Who is "Stephen Malkmus" and what is his "former band"?

I just read some lyrics for this band called "Pavement", after reading some reviews at Amazon.com about how they're "cryptic and inspiring" and other such kiss-ass bullshit.

As for the music, they can't play for shit and the lead singer is almost impossible to understand anyway, defeating the lyrical kiss-ass comments.

In conclusion, if the whole band sucked so much ass, I don't see how the lead singer is going to be any better by himself.
