All right, guys. I know what my headline says. But just chill for a sec, because this news — while awesome — is not quite as epic as we may have hoped. Here’s the deal: In an interview with NME, Scott “Spiral Stairs” Kannberg has revealed that Pavement is planning to put out some previously unreleased material. The new album would combine outtakes and radio sessions with “greatest hits” and would likely see release right in time for the band’s reunion performances. Says Kannberg: “The very first radio show that Pavement ever did has never been released. I don’t think anyone’s heard it, so we’ll put that out there sometime.” Hey, I’d pay to listen to that.

Unfortunately, as we reported in September, we shouldn’t cross our fingers for any genuinely new Pavement material. At the time, Matador warned fans, “Please be advised this tour is not a prelude to additional jaunts and/or a permanent reunion” — and we haven’t seen anything to suggest different. But then, playing a few shows together really can change everything. Just ask The Eagles.
