    They seem to be doing this to all of their records so far, and they seem to be worth the upgrade, Slanted and Enchanted and Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain have like a zillion bonus tracks....

    I think Wowee Zowee is my favorite Pavement record. The S & E and Cr, Cr reissues were amazing with all the bonus tracks and live stuff....I'm really looking forward to this one.

    Now if Matador could reissue some of those GBV records........

    The other two Pavement reissues were some of the best reissues I have ever seen... I am totally psyched for this... I suppose since this makes 3 of the 5 Pavement records, do you think they might just go ahead and do Brighten the Corners and Terror Twilight as well?

    maybe Brighten the Corners but I dunno about Terror Twilight. TT isn't really old enough to warrant a reissue.

    I hope they do though. I LOVE that record. it has some of my favorite Pavement songs.....Carrot Rope, Spit on a Stranger, Major Leagues.....

    I'm so hoping for a Brighten the Corners reissue. It's my all-time favorite by Pavement.

    doctors leaving for the holiday season
    Got crystal ice picks, no gift for the gab
    And in the parking lots --is the sedan he bought?
    He never, he never complains when it's hot
    He phoned the fallen daughter in the sauna playing contract bridge
    They're soaking up the fun or doing blotters
    I don't know which ..which...which...
    Boys are dying on these streets

    I know the medical world could knock you out
    To sell the coins that you jayed last thursday
    Dine by candelight and hold your savings tight
    You never, you never know when the bridge falls apart

    We spoke of latent causes sterile gauzes
    And the bedside morale
    We traipse around the table talking sentences
    So incomplete... please! plea!
    Boys are dying on these streets...

    "We Dance" is the most beautiful Pavement song....ever.

    There is no castration fear
    In a chair
    You will be
    With me
    We'll dance
    We'll dance
    We'll dance
    We'll dance...

    But no one will dance with us
    In this zany town
    Chim chim chim sing a song of praise
    For your elders
    They're in the back

    Pick out some Brazilian nuts for your engagement
    Check that expiration date man it's later than you think
    You can't enjoy yourself, I can't enjoy myself
    You can't enjoy yourself, I can't enjoy myself
    Move that swing and watch it break straight like an arc
    But I won't be there to leave you
    Uhh, uhh, uhh
    'Cause I don't have a clue anymore

    Maybe we can dance
    Maybe we can dance
    Maybe we can dance together?
    Together, together, together
    First time you see and then you'll be
    Five times forever and you never get lost

    from Brighten The Corners..."Old To Begin"

    Embrace the senile genius
    Watch him reïnvent the wheel
    I don't need your summary acts, summary acts
    To give into the narrative age
    Old to begin
    I will set you back, set you back, set you
    Old to begin
    I will set you back, set you back, set you
    You get to feeling like a fixture
    Set in 1966
    Time came that we drifted apart, drifted apart
    Find an unidentical twin
    Old to begin
    I will set you back, set you back, set you
    Old to begin
    I will set you back, set you back, set you
    Search for a blatant cause
    Blame it on menopause
    Or perhaps stress and strain
    Credit cards lumbar pain
    But I've called you double dare
    Everything extraordinaire
    I know the things you do call to come back
    La la la la la
    La la la la la

    yeah, i've been seeing them in record stores as "Super Savers" and on sale...a sure fire way to tell if a CD will be getting an upgrade.
    Those undecided,........ Needn't have faith to be free
    And those misguided, There was a plan for them to be
    Now you got both sides Claiming killing in Gods name
    But God is nowhere,..... To be found, conveniently

    What goes on?

    Matador seem to be timing this right around each records 10 yr. anniversary, so I think we'll see it, but it'll be a couple years.

    It'll be nice to replace all the b-sides I had either on tape or as an mp3 with something more permanent.
    Statistically speaking, you're more likely to be pitied by Mr. T than you are to have feet.

    It is the only album that I heard and liked so far. I think Stephan himself is better. Wowee zowee is very good though, too bad the other two CD's I've heard don't even begin to come close

    anyone got this yet?

    I'm about to go pick it up. I heard it was great. the other two reissues were some of the greatest packages I've ever seen.

    I wish matador would do the same for some of those old GBV records.Under the Bushes, Under the Stars just had it's 10th anniversary this year.........
