"Go back to those Gold Soundz...
...Because it's something that I don't like
Is it a crisis or a boring change?" -- Lyric from "Gold Soundz"
A couple of days ago, perhaps to help cheer me up from the rough play of the Cards in the World Series, I re-visited an old friend in a new way.
Pavement is at it again, a year after re-releasing their critically-acclaimed debut album Slanted & Enchanted with a ReDuxe double disc version.
Tuesday came a steady rain.
The defunct band's sophomore effort (and my personal favorite) hit stores this week and I nearly missed the festivites. Not that there were any, but you get the idea.
Matador Records brings another excellent re-release, with 2 discs packed with b-sides, tons of unreleased material, and much more.
If you feel a nostalgic itch to re-visit one of the best albums of the 90's, I highly recommend this journey, especially if you're discovering the band for the first time.
Pavement has never sounded better.
