Slack Gold: Pavement's Slanted & Enchanted
If you weren't aware that the tenth anniversary of Pavement's
idyllic indie-rock masterpiece Slanted & Enchanted is
upon us, don't worry. There was no VH1 special, no bank holiday, no
legal battle over the master tapes--just a richly appointed
reissue. In a way, it's the kind of enthused yet low-key fanfare
that this grad-school Nevermind demands: A decade later,
Slanted still feels more like a shared secret than a
cultural revolution. Its anniversary is a mini Big Chill for
a generation that never quite got theirs.
