Rattled By The Rush By Pavement

So I must say. I am pretty underwhelmed by this recent Pavement reunion talk.

Me, I like their studio recordings.

Compare these apples and oranges:
"Rattled By The Rush" (matador mp3)
"Rattled By The Rush (Live)" (youtube)
"Heckler Spray/In The Mouth Of A Desert (Live)" (matador mp3)

So if you are all psyched to see Mr. Nastanovich get his groove on, that's fine. I just don't think I'll be paying steep prices for no 90's indie rock nostalgia. The Pixies were enough for me.
