Pavement Begins: Songs from the Slay Tracks EP

Today we revisit Pavement's first 7", the quirky, disturbingly groovy Slay Tracks (1933 - 1969) EP. Of course, these pretentious twentysomethings had no life in 1933, but the title seems just right for the chaotic arrangements that would shake the foundations of college and indie rock. Who could argue with the distorted fax machine rumblings of "You're Killing Me", or the subliminal "Box Elder", or of course the silly fun of "Maybe Maybe"? Plus the strictly lo-fi sonic goodness?

You're Killing Me
Box Elder
Maybe Maybe
She Believes
Price Yeah!

*Songs taken from the Westing... Compilation.
