Brighten The Corners reissue announced
 

Just read it on Pfork. It DOES contain "For Sale The Preston School Of Industry." But weirdly, it all contains all of the TERROR TWILIGHT bsides. So I guess that means no TERROR TWILIGHT Deluxe. Why do you think they'd include the TT stuff as extras on this disc. I mean those were pretty different recording sessions.

terror twilight SUCKS, that's why, and they did not release lots of cool extra stuff for it, cuz they knew it was just to finish their contract and then break up.

pavement was always great about releasing some of their very best songs as just B sides or EP's and putting those together with slanted era and with crooked rain eraa makes sense, but for brighten the corners? come on. you know they had to get some filler up in there!

#1. TERROR doesn't suck.
#2. BTC bsides belond on BTC deluxe. TT bsides belong on TT deluxe.
#3. The TERROR bsides were all awesome.

terror twilight had, what, 3 B sides? that is not enough, is what I am saying

and teror rtwilight is BORING!

No, Terror Twilight had the "Spit on a Stranger" EP and the "Major League" EP, each of with had like 5 or 6 tracks. Plus there was a 7" with an alt version of "The Hexx." Maybe more.

I hate Terror Twilight :(

Fukk Terror Twilight.

Fukk it.

Whatever. It's a good album, and its bsides were even better.

Fukk the b sides.

Fukk em.

whatever.

hahahaha

Terror Twilight is brilliant. I know a lot of fans were disappointed that it was so polished compared to their previous albums, but in my opinion it's just as good as Wowee Zowee. The songs are just beautiful, slow does not equal boring.

And, by the way, I have the Major Leagues EP, it has 7 tracks. Apart from the Major Leagues demo, they're all pretty good. I'd love to have more b-sides from that era. I also remember Mark Ibold saying here that there was a lot of material from the Terror Twilight sessions...

Terror Twilight is a GIGANTIC bag o' fail.

wtf were they thinking??

such a shameful way to end a band.

I suspect that it's all Matador's fault, those pricks.

stop trolling.

hahahahahahahahahaha

Right on. The MAJOR bsides were good, but the SPIT bsides were even better man. So yeah, if there was more unreleased tracks, I'd want em.

thanks a-fucking-lot.

all I can hear in my head now is "the terror twilight duh doobie duh doo, the terror twilight duh doobie duh doo", and it makes me want to fucking smash things.

I'm sure thankful that I never bought that one, I tells ya!

o good for you
you can be the deluxe edition when it's out then
happy bunny?

Blah.

i have to say that i cant wait for the pavement reissues of the corners and twilight albums...

by in large the pavement b sides are generally their best songs and i gave up buying the singles after stereo..

fuck brighten, its a half arsed lame album with a couple of gems... really hard anal fuck terror... its a terrible album with a couple of half arsed pavement gems on it......

sorry but it is..........

but i will still buy the 2 reissues as the artwork and the packaging and the hope of new and many unheard tracks and demos and b sides will bring joy joy joy joy joy down in mty heart (where?) down in my heart todaaaaay!!!!!!! and if malkmus doesnt sneeze than i will shit on hiis back (what?) shit on his back todaaaaaayyy....

fuck that.. if stephen malkmus wrote that line it would be classed as an indie classic!!!!!!

THATS EXACTLY WHY I DONT LIKE IT!! polished and pavement shouldnt sit together on the same bench....

gary young must have turned in his hammock and laughed out loud when he heard this.......

actually anyone have gary youngs hospital album.. id love to hear that again!!!!!!

yeah, polished Pavement sucks. Westing is the best.

The last line of that post is perfect because it works equally well for the detractors [haterz] and proselytes [loverz]

Parentheses included for Pookie's comprehension.

*Edit: Gaystones. This was meant to immediately follow Herr Bee's post-before-last.

no!

wahahahahaha





ha

I think WESTING is the worst. Not because it's unpolished. I just think a majority of the songs are bad. Though I like "Box Elder."

Box Elder's like the worst song on there.

I really love both Westing and Terror Twilight.

I'm feeling deja vu, Adam. I think we've dealt with TERROR Vs WESTING before. Let's just agree to disagree, son.

Haha okay.

A good new at last...

Extremist!

I know, right? It's the BEST song on there.

^^No, the best song is "You're killing me".^^

I agree with my French dude!!!!
Box elder is a close second though

I also like Internal K-dart.

Forklift, From Now On

You're Killing Me is my favorite Pavement song, period.

i can't wait for this since it was the second pavement i bought when it first came out. i can't believe it's been ten years already. i'm old.

i like all of pavement's releases even TT.

Three things to say:

1. Terror Twilight blows the big one. Hard.

2. Brighten the Corners doesn't get enough praise. Everyone talks about Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain and Slanted and Enchanted. . . but for me after Wowee Zowee, Brighten the Corners is where its at.

3. That middle section of Transport Arranged is Pavement's most eargasmic moment ever
