Sad To See It Go: No

Since Pavement just toured it makes sense that someone somewhere wants their detritus.  Two years straight someone had an extra ticket for me to go free.  A little different from the Gary Young years that got me into the band in the first place.  This was nostalgia with a massive catalog to alternate that I wasn't particularly nostalgic for, even if I bought all the albums and liked all of 'em and even loved a few.  What the hell, I'll check 'em out if someone wants to go, but my days of driven motivation to hear and see all things Malkmus died somewhere around Pigs Lib.

My storage shelf was cleared of the last couple CD EP's added to my collection in real time 90's long before the double CD reissues came.  In this case, Wowee Zowee housed the main track "Rattled By La Rush" found here in video form.  The rest are compiled on the newfangled Sordid Sentinals Edition of the album that came out in 2006.  Good song, I certainly remembered it from a mostly forgettable album without ever having seen that clip until today.

The first couple B-sides I thought were kind of screech 'n strum filler although some fan saw fit to make a video of "False Skorpion" that would've passed for the real thing.  Maybe it's even better than the "official" Rattled video.  "Easily Fooled" is easily the best of the three.  It has a bit of a closer loping feel of "Stop Breathing" combined with some Stones slop 'n side.  The only one of these that found it's way into a Pavement live set a couple times in 1994 was "Brink of the Clouds" which was combined with "Candylad" but not on this EP.

If you can pinpoint when the decline to established coasting began, you could do well to look here.
