Waiting on the great apes album...🀞

Steve had a B-side called Sin Taxi, and while it’s not technically Pavement I still consider it my favorite Pavement Song.

Hadn't heard Sin Taxi β€”Β doesn't look like streaming services carry it (at least in the US), but I found it on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UiyApoXUt_8). Doesn't do that much for me, though it's got that pleasant Malkmusian vibe aplenty.

I’ve never heard this song before. Nothing to do with β€œPlatform Blues”, I just don’t think I’ve heard *anything* by Pavement. I’m going to assume it’s a great cover, as they always are, and I’m pleased to see the transcript is up to the usual high standard! Great work all round.

Also, I really loved that I could actually hear Keith saying β€œThe jukebox cover band is a vermin’s trade”. Made me smile.

I’ve now had a listen to the original. Suffice to say your cover has improved it immeasurably!

You might need to spend some time with Terror Twilight. Jumping straight in to Ann Don't Cry is probably a bracing experience.

Erm, maybe. I did try to do the whole album but ended up with edited highlights. I don’t think it’s for me.
