Sadly, I've always really really liked Pavement, and have had moments bordering on totally falling for them, but could never really make that leap to full on doe-eyed obsession. I guess it's because I only came to them in the 00s, after having been into a lot of "indie" stuff like Sonic Youth, the Minutemen, ETC for some time already. It was too late for them to be that ear-opening band for me, so they'll always just be "another (great) indie rock group", rather than something truly integral to my musical being. That being said, S&E and CRCR are both fantastic records, they have written some of my favourite songs (more love for Gold Soundz!), and yes, the reissues are pretty much the benchmark for these things. I keep meaning to check out their post CRCR output, but I've just never gotten around to it...
