Quarantine The Past: Greatest Hits
Dist: Select

Pavement played their last show in 1999, but since then, they’ve inspired constant wishful-thinking buzz about reunion shows, much like the Smiths or the Stone Roses. Their catalog has grown with the deluxe Matador editions of their maddeningly awesome Nineties records — Slanted and Enchanted (the “indie is for lovers” one), Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain (the “rock & roll” one), Wowee Zowee (the “dangerously baked” one) and Brighten the Corners (the “love is blue” one). “It’s weird how over the last however many years, Pavement’s become a much bigger thing,” Scott Kannberg says. “This whole generation of kids discovered Pavement after we had disbanded, and made us into a huger thing than we ever envisioned. So now I guess we can tour and make those people happy.”
