Brighten The Corners deluxe

Every couple of years, there is a Pavement double-disc reissue. Will there be one for Bright The Corners this year?
Malkmus: I think there is. I don't have any of the tapes, any of the ephemera. I barely have any posters. In fact, I can't even remember anything. So, uh, it's hard for me to know exactly what the plans are with that stuff. I'm kind of just along for the ride. I think Matador wanted to consolidate the catalogue, so they do it for that reason. They get new contracts with us that are beneficial for them, and those things come out. And they do a good job. They're lovingly compiled and they put everything in its context, everything in one place. And maybe it sounds pretty interesting at this point, 10, 12 years down the line from when the records came out. I don't really know what they really sound like compared to things now, exactly. Not as compressed or as loud. CDs weren't as loud back then.

Good news, I hope it's true.
Maybe they'll put "For sale : the Preston School of Industry", that'd be great.

I own the first 3 reissues, doubt I'll pick that one up but I might. Definitely won't pick up the inevitable terror twilight one.

I'll get em all. Heckler, I thought "For Sale" was from the TERROR TWILIGHT sessions? No? Such a great song!

Stoked!

oh hell, i'm buying this.

Meh.

I find my naive and juvenile love of Pavement diminishing more and more as Malkmus's persona becomes more and more prickish. BTC and Terror Twilight were never quite up to par for me to begin with.

But I hear this contains rare "on-key" vocal outtake versions!

Shut up. I admit to being flawed!

If not enjoying Pavement anymore is a flaw, I don't want to be corrected.

Yeah, Malkmus is a jerk, but I don't care, I still love Pavement. Maybe it's a naive and blind love, I don't care.

Concerning "For sale... ", i'm pretty sure they played it in 1997, so...

I just think pavement got less exciting. Though technically better at the same time. "Wowee" succeeds in both being weird and talented... brighten and terror are both pretty boring, though melodically satisfying. Dont' care about Malkmus's solo career and don't know/care if he's a dick or not.

In my opinion, a bad Pavement's album is better than the best Radiohead's album.

imo you're wrong

I don't know what Pavement or Radiohead have in common, but yeah Radiohead aren't that great.

Except Kid A.

Too bad !
Edit : concerning chaos post.

I've always had a hard time liking Pavement seeing as Malkmus' voice reminds me of Everclear.

Oof! Knocked the wind out of me there. :p

Everclear? Huh? The band? Um... okay. I, uh, don't see that AT ALL.

If you're saying that his voice reminds you of the drink Everclear, fuck yeah! Good shit!

I've been holding out for this one for the past year and a half. It better come out soon.
