Pavement releases For the rookies: The brand-new best-of compilation Hecklers Choice: Big Gums and Heavy Lifters. And for the heads:
the physical edition of the PAVEMENTS (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack). Matador Records will release Hecklers Choice, Pavement’s second-ever “best of” compilation. Look, it’s been more than a decade. Back when Quarantine the Past came out in 2010, TikTok wasn’t a thing. This newly revamped track-list accounts for any/all viral sensations that have emerged hence (‘Harness Your Hopes’) while continuing to rep the timeworn tunes that have remained playlist and mixtape staples for in-the-know-types across generations.

PAVEMENTS (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is also being made available on CD and LP, out November 14.Compiled by PAVEMENTS producer/editor Robert Greene and the band, the soundtrack ropes together disparate elements of the film – dialogue snippets, scenes from the fake Oscar-bait biopic Range Life, and cast recordings from the Slanted! Enchanted! jukebox musical as well as live and rehearsal recordings from the group’s 2021 reunion tour. The full-band performances were mixed by Bryce Goggin, who worked on Pavement albums Crooked Rain Crooked Rain, Wowee Zowee, and Brighten the Corners.
