Comment:
Been meaning to rework my old Pavement mix into a 2-cd deluxe edition for some time; my recent purchase of the Wowee Zowee reissue gave me the excuse to do it. As should be obvious, my heart belongs to the first couple albums (my favorite, Slanted & Enchanted, remains one of my favorite albums of all time to this day, and is probably over-represented here, but damn if every time I hear it it's like 1992 all over again. Though a lot of diehard fans swear by Wowee (and the reissue did help give me a greater appreciation of the album), it's never been one of my faves, and the last two I found way too inconsistent. I love the upbeat stuff, but the slower tunes just meander too much for me. (In contrast, Scott "Spiral Stairs" Kannberg kept the pop spark alive, which is why I've included a lot of his b-sides on the second disc.)For me, Pavement (alongside maybe Yo La Tengo, Luna, and Guided by Voices) really captured the 90's for me (Nirvana who?), and I think I've finally done them justice here.
Feedback:
beeeeeeautiful. i also fall under the wowee zowee worship committee (crcr was my first, slanted the second one i heard)...but i always thought wowee would have been the greatest album ever made had it been cut up a little (and just pack those other songs onto a second disc ep or soemthing)...cause it is a little too long. kick ass mix.
I'm with you re: Pavement bering the soundtrack to my own private '90s and also with you on favoring the first two albums (and all of the noisy early singles) over their later output (I think they really lost something when Gary Young--one of my favorite drummers of all-time--was booted out of the band), but, as we've discussed previously, our tastes don't quite converge on certain Pavement issues, particularly where Scott Kannberg is involved. That said, I love almost everything here.
I don't believe I've ever heard a track by Pavement, from their slovenly
minstrel appearance I wager they're from The U.S.A. The chap in the acadeny t-shirt doesn't quite acheive band cool does he? And I suggest he stop letting his mother cut his hair. I admire the gent in shades. His wanton devotion to Lou Reed has clearly cost him space. The smiley fellow, obviously the band goofer & punching bag for the serious chap wearing a short sleeve shirt the shade of yummy toffee. And lastly the band's good guy, possibly the band spokesman and mediator between serious chap & Lou Reed. From scouring the song titles, I'm tempted to investigate.

if there were an award for comment of the week id give it to dom.
I'm in the Wowee Zowee camp. The first two records were fantastic, but WZ is where everything clicked for me personally. Plus Kannbergs best Pavement tracks are represented here. Anyway, a nice collection. Probaby a bit too much b-side filler, but overall fantastic.
I was late to the Pavement bandwagon and still need to do more listening. CRCR was also my first exposure. Nice compilation.
Wowee Zowee was the first album I heard of theirs, but I still listen to Crooked Rain on a regular basis. This is a really nice collection.
I was merely gazing at this fairly comprehensive Pavement homage, when my eyes were drawn to Dom1's comment. Then I spotted Jab's. I must agree with it. Dom's band-assessment-by -photograph is thoroughly entertaining. If it were a Pavement song, it would have to appear on "Slanted and Enchanted" -- an almost impossible to follow debut, it was ever thus. A sterling effort Mr. Kulcher; and a flash of levity and genius from the inimitable Dom1.
