More brilliant Pavement news

2010 has already officially been declared 'The Year of Pavement', what with all of those reunion shows taking place this Spring and Summer, but just when you thought things couldn't get any better..

..Pavement will also be releasing a best-of compilation entitled 'Quarantine The Past: The Best Of Pavement' on March 9 2010. This is a 23 track compilation spanning Malky and Co's career from 1989 to 1999 with remastered songs from each and every album and EP. It'll be out on cd,LP and if you really must, download.

I can't give you a tracklisting, for the simple reason that the tracklisting itself is the subject of a fantastic competition which could see you win tickets to Pavement's New York show (with flights and hotel rooms paid for!), the chance to have your tracklisting choice pressed up into a special LP or a complete set of Pavement vinyl on Matador. Its a fantastic idea, sure to get the forums buzzing with dream Pavement track and setlists. Full info here:

And finally, the news that the end of the year will see 'Terror Twilight', the band's final album, get the full deluxe re-issue treatment.

The Year of Pavement indeed.
