Yeah, I have several live shows from 97 and they played "And Then" at all of them, crazy how it wasn't on the record. Even weirder, they announce it as "The Hexx" a few times, so the "And Then" title didn't stay very long.

They also play Westie Can Drum on practically every 97 show I have... It was probably pretty close to being on the album.

if you look on the back of TT, between the last two songs it's says "And Then..." "The Hexx"

^^ yes
love this song. very pure sounding.

I always thought (and maybe read somewhere?) that SY was inspired by Pavement when they recorded JET SET. Which is like a snake eating its tail, since Pave obviously had to be inspired by SY (they covered EXPRESSWAY live and dedicated "In The Mouth" to SY live).

noisereductions 08.26.2009 07:17 PM
Anywaay, back to TT... I think that the guitar parts on "You Are A Light" are up there with "Grounded" or any other transcendent Pavement Guitar track.

pinkstation 08.26.2009 08:09 PM
i like "you are the light" and "cream of gold"

LOVE GROUNDED TOO

and while we are talking about pavement gutiar tracks,
"half a canyon"
and
"rattled by the rush"
kick sooo much ass

and pretty much everything on crcr

I always thought that was a great touch. What a great band. I can't wait to see them live when they reform......it's bound to happen, eventually.

Slanted remains my favorite Pavement record followed closely by Wowee Zowee. The Luxe/Reduxe reissue is so fucking good too. I've always thought that a band who's b-sides are just as good and sometimes better than their album tracks is really worth something. Love Pavement.

Dude espessial their early stuff! There are SO many songs that I wish they had decided to put on Slanted instead of "Chelsea's Little Wrists"

noisereductions 08.27.2009 08:16 PM
woah! "Chelsea's Little Wrists" is fantastic!
