Hell Thu, 28 Jan 2010 19:01:09 +0000 http://www.matadorrecords.com/matablog/?p=7411#comment-195502 Having been sent a CDR promo of the compilation today, synchronously the same day Steve West's Marble Valley play a couple of minutes walk from where I'm posting this, I can remark that the track list runs together very well. Who compiled it? Although it omits my three favourites Grave Architecture, Texas Never Whispers and Circa 1862 the segues of Date w/IKEA into Debris Slide, Grounded into Summer Babe, Heaven is a Truck into Trigger Cut into Embassy Row into Box Elder make up for that. The one odd thing really is ending with Fight This Generation which doesn't sound at all final. Maybe Here (which I seem to recall closed the original promo cassette running order for Slanted and Enchanted) would seem logical? I got about half the tracks right, but did it all rather cynically trying to guess what the label would choose rather than my genuine favourites (as three of them were not allowed). I tried to put Unfair in the running order and the computer wouldn't recognise that song, which is odd as it is on the compilation! Maybe the machine I was using had an Unfair Virus?

I'd also include no songs from Terror Twilight and really I wouldn't include Gold Soundz either even though Crooked Rain is my favourite Pavement album. Actually most of their best songs weren't singles! If it includes their awful cover of the Killing Moon or their worst song Carrot Rope that is a shame, but not the end of the world (yet). Just you wait until 2012! Has Gary Young entered? Did he vote for Shoot the Singer?
