are EPs the greatest or the most frustrating part of being a music fan? i'm just not quite sure. i received in the mail today eight pavement singles/eps, filling in a few gaps in the discography on one of my favorite bands ever. sadly, while i've listened to all of them quite a bit today (two hours at work, two more hours tonight), i fear that, come next week, they'll be nothing more than space-taker-uppers on my cd shelf. it's too bad, because "cherry area" is really great song that i'll never hear again.

in other news, the second half of the top ten of that damn list i've been compiling to kill time is now available. please mock my tastes. or me.
