I hit up the Encores to see if they have the new Faith No More on "Big CD" as Chris would call it. They did not, but they did get a second copy of the new Pavement album, as well as the new Wilco on CD. I have downloaded the free version of the new Wilco, and I gotta say I am loving it. I have always kind of dug Wilco, but I cannot say I have ever loved an album. They always have like 5 GREAT songs on an album, but I find I usually skip a bunch of songs. This album though, I find that I really like every song. Its a short fun guitar album. It sounds like Wilco channeling Pavement and Sonic Youth. You Satellite is a perfect example of that. Great jam.
That Pavement is a great smelling cash grab from the Matadors. I usually have a bug up my ass to reissuing stuff that has already been released (all of these songs are on the double CD version of Slanted), but its Pavement, and I will literally buy anything they put out. Greenlander is one of my very fave Pave B-Sides.
