Philosophical query: If a band reunites and they don’t release a greatest hits-type compilation (or a new album) to celebrate, does the reunion really exist? Think about it. And then think about Pavement’s forthcoming 23-track greatest hits-type compilation, Quarantine the Past: The Best of Pavement, out on double-LP and CD March 9 via Matador in the U.S. (March 8 via Domino in the UK.) (Pre-order here.) The label is also re-releasing the entire Pavement Matador catalog on low-priced vinyl the same day.
In a blog post, Matador says that while Quarantine “does not include any unreleased material, it definitely digs deeper than the hits.” The label is unveiling the song selection through the appropriately titled Guess the Track Listing Contest, with prizes including a VIP trip to NYC for one of Pavement’s upcoming Central Park reunion gigs. More info on the contest can be found here.
We do know the first track will be Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain’s “Gold Soundz”, which you can hear after the jump. Matador also mentions that they will complete the Pavement deluxe reissue series with Terror Twilight next fall.
if you’re still waiting for Pavement to book a show close to you (and you live in America), sit tight– they’re promising more U.S. dates soon. In the meantime, check out their current 2010 world tour schedule below:
