A complete masterpiece. Even if it wasn't for the 37 bonus tracks on the LA's desert origins re-issue this would be worth the £13 that I paid for it yesterday. Why the don't other bands treat their fans as good as Pavement do? Its a shame they broke up. Am I to assume that Brighten the corners and terror twilight are to get the same treatment?

i think Brighten the Corners definitely. Not so sure about Terror Twilight though. I'm pumped for Brighten - i never bought that album because i know it's going to get the treatment. It's going to be a brand new Pavement album for me!
Those special editions put all others to shame. They had enough unreleased stuff to put out 2 more albums.

by the by, anyone think malkmus is now creating music that's even better than pavement by himself and w/ the Jicks?
also, is it true the drummer from Sleater-Kinney (Janet?) is drumming for the Jicks now?
yes-yes-yes! it's amazing. i'm going out on a limb, but i think "Muscle Rock (is a horse in transition)" is in my top 3 Pavement songs of all time. It's a b-side: #24 on disc 1 and i'm in love w/it.
it's great, between the three reissues, i've put together a hell of a b-side mix in iTunes.

I still think Pavement will get back together at some point in the next year or two. But then again, it might be like their last 2 records, which seemed more like Malkmus solo projects. Same thing happened with the Lemonheads, and they're back!
there was an interview at pitchfork and Spiral Stairs confirmed this.
Sorry, I got sidetracked, Crooked Rain is great, I hadn't heard it in full in years before I picked up the reissue last summer, really terrific. I still prefer S&E, but CR,CR is a close second. I need to pick up the Wowee, Zowee reissue soon, I have never heard that album.
get it - NOW. It's their White Album - all over the map but it has some of their best songs.
