[@baldanders]

seriously some of their best stuff in their whole catalogue on this one

[@ericvsthem]

This is their best release. Just four songs, who cares. Put it on repeat.

[@commodoreredlight]

unquestionably!

[@99tjpro]

wowee zowee better

[@MrMookRecords]

And the other three songs from the same session.. Sue Me Jack, Greenlander...

[@jasonlynn1017]

YOU ARE CORRECT SIR!

[@Jonny-Law]

This was my firhst release by them when I was a teen in the nineties. This was my romance music when I'd have girls over 😆

[@Dustin-eh5go]

and the memories come flooding back.....love this EP

[@jayburton6553]

For everyone who had this 12" vinyl masterpiece back in the early 90s, and absolutely wore it out on their budget stereo!

[@706wi11]

if I was being exiled and could only take 5 CD's with me, this would definitely be one of em. the EP even, not just it included on one of the bigger reissues. these 4 songs are fkn perfect together, man I listened to this so many times in the mid 90s, especially one year in summer school (some of us were regular slackers and not the art school types heh)

[@timothyryan6018]

Fantastic... Cant imagine how Malkmus remembers the lyrics singing Pavement songs in concert. So Many Lyrics just endlessly pouring out. Pavement are Velvet Undergrounds weird California second cousins?

[@curly_wyn]

Pavement are 100% the Velvet Underground of the 90s!

[@tastedawaste1367]

I love the drumming on this EP.

Authentic, timeless, life changing

Best EP Ever.. Best Indie Rock Band...

[@DaveAnchovies]

on a major? sort of? i think, and i love them, just cant deliver live. i skipped em to go to a punk show, they came back a few years later and later that night we forgot we had seen them!! Grifters shoulda been twice as big. much better./ this cover was stolen from a 70s band...Ambergris, and drawn on./

Gary had some neat fills for sure. I think that's mainly what really differentiates him from West.

there was nothing left for Gary to do after this record, he showed out so completely. the while record did. 30 years on: perfect sound forever

[@siralbertofkidd]

The Best EP ever.

[@merryn9000]

oh shit, i understand now. amazing ep

[@ArmandoMartinez-vs6eb]

The opening guitar feedback tape loop? thing at the beginning of Texas never whipers is one of heh most beautiful sounds ever recorded.

[@jaredbumbis]

its a synth of some sort with a lot of distortion. its a great sound. maybe this is a reference thats a little late for most pavement fans but it reminds me of some of the ambient noises in minecraft

[@timenglish5653]

heh!

[@ringo348tb]

Linden... Never has a track benefited more from the drummers contribution. Gary Young take a bow!

[@SuperShhitTalk]

That’s Steve west

[@helmetboy123456]

@@SuperShhitTalk It was the last record with Gary as drummer

[@shanematthewcorcoran]

Certainly was. U can also hear him on the first attempt to record CR/CR (9 or so songs?) on the Reissue. But yes, the last official release with Gary Young.

[@scottdavis0801]

Gary Young's drumming rocks on this EP!!

[@neilcook4686]

I was given a Tiddly-Wink (little plastic disc) by Gary Young, outside the Leeds Town & Country Club, when they supported Sonic Youth on the Dirty tour. He was just generally being odd at the entrance door. Seemed a nice bloke.

[@andyking7621]

NAILED IT. So good and somehow finishes on a high. A work of rare, true genius.

[@TheJarotevil]

One of the best eps ever. Thanks for the post 👏👏👏

[@chrisocony]

No doubt the best EP I ever heard, but Archers of Loaf Vs. the Greatest of All Time is super-excellent as well.

[@shawnpantaliono9592]

There were so many great ep's at that stage. Everyone really spread their wings on these EPs. Grifters, Polvo, Superchunk, Archers, etc.

[@999Pudsterman]

I can't think of a better EP!

[@duhreetohs2103]

honestly, they should have had sue me jack, greenlander, and so stark on this as well but, even without those songs this EP is probably my favorite pavement release. :)
