Brighten the Corners Deluxe?
 

Sorry if this has been posted before, but when is BtC Deluxe Edition (or whatever Pavement will name it) coming out? The wikipedia article was really outdated before I made a minor edit.

I don't like that album very much. Even if it did come out I don't think I'd buy it, maybe download it so I can rip songs off from the B-sides :P

its gonna come out in 2008

I don't know what they'll put on it, weren't there a lot of b-sides from that era?

1. "Stereo" - 3:07
2. "Shady Lane/J vs. S" - 3:50
3. "Transport is Arranged" - 3:52
4. "Date w/ IKEA" - 2:39
5. "Old to Begin" - 3:22
6. "Type Slowly" - 5:20
7. "Embassy Row" - 3:51
8. "Blue Hawaiian" - 3:33
9. "We Are Underused" - 4:12
10. "Passat Dream" - 3:51
11. "Starlings of the Slipstream" - 3:08
12. "Fin" - 5:24 (Listed as "Infinite Spark" on non-US pressings)
    13. Shady Lane (Krossfader) <-- pointless?
    14. Slowly Typed
    15. Cherry Area
    16. Wanna Mess You Arond
    17. No Tan Lines
    18. Westie Can Drum
    19. Winner of the

Disk 2? <-- I thought they would have saved PacificTrim for this.

brighten the corners has always been my favorite pavement album. dont know why. i love them all but something about this one just gets me

Whenever i move into a new house i always play the first 5 songs of this album, it kinda signifies new beginnings for me in a silly way. After that i dont like the album at all bar Infinite Spark. Not sure how id take a reissue, but all of them have been so good thus far ill still buy it.

Prediction : Pitchfork media gives it a 7.3 or something and bemoans its lack of quality compared to other pavement albums. the fools.

There should be.

It's probably my second favorite Pavement album- or third... I'm not sure where Wowee Zowee sits on the tables. 'Embassy Row' has some killer chorus action and the lyrics in 'Transport is Arranged' get me every time in their little cheesy way, 'a voice coach taught me to sing, he couldn't teach me to love..'.

'For Sale: The Preston School Of Industry' is an obvious choice for the deluxe edtion, as it's the best pavement song ever, and also they'll probably dig up some live shit, b-sides, alt. mixes and rehearsals for it. It can happen!

Transport Is Arranged is probably my favourite Pavement song actually. I just think of all those stories about lorrys blockading the ports in Devon in the 90s.

The reason I'm asking is if i'm going to buy brighten the corners, I might as well buy the deluxe.

You don't own it?

Youd probably find the deluxe will be not much more expensive than the original release so its probably worth waiting.

buy it now for gods sake!

Brighten the Corners is my favorite Pavement album.

I'd wait.

I mean from what i've seen the DE are the same, if not cheaper than the normal editions. My rec store sells terror and brighten for about 15 each, and there's no way the DEs are going to be more than that.


anddddd, brighten's not something worth rushing for anyways. Just dl it til the DE.

Brighten the Corners is sooo poppy. There is not a song on it that isn't super duper catchy, really cool listen.

Transport is Arranged is awesome I agree, I actually especially like the tongue in cheek lyrics.

Starlings in the Slipstream is awesome too,.. seems like it could have been a good opener.

ditto

I'll but the DE and not download it then. I don't like downloading full albums.

yeah, i agree--- I have a few but only cuz i be poor mostly and they've been on my computer for ages anywho. the suggestion was food for thought and a warning so that you wouldn't be dissapointed/have tp shell out another 15$v in a year.

You have one month from today to update us on this. I have waited far too long.
