Compleatly in the Crook

It's a measure of how complete my Pavement collection is that I have every single track on the upcoming Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain reissue except those that weren't previously available. I may have a few of the latter, come to think of it. Bootlegs don't always have accurate titles, do they? I'll find out October 26th. I still have to share my not-ready-for-primetime account of hearing a pre-release reviewers' copy of the album in a smoke-filled apartment on Alcatraz (the avenue, not the island). But that will have to wait for another day. I've got the windows open and all three fans going full blast. . .
