that new pavement thing
Matador's posted an
mp3 from the special edition rerelease of Pavement's
Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain. The record itself comes out next Tuesday. This previously unreleased song, "All My Friends", might be familiar to my fellow obsessive Pavement dorks; the first part seems to be the same song as one of the very poorly recorded live tracks from the
Stuff Up the Cracks bootleg (I believe maybe the song labeled "Sebadoh Song"?), but by the end you realize it's the full version of the track that appeared in truncated form as "Exit Theory (Edit)" on the
Gold Soundz single. I gotta say, the fifty second cut on that record might be better than the full song.
