"Send return out of time/ Tape machine needs to be aligned." You (nearly) said it, Steve. "Due to delays at the vinyl press," the Matablog informs us, Matador's deluxe expanded reissue of Pavement's 1997 jammer Brighten the Corners has been pushed back from November 18 to December 9.

That vinyl press will be responsible for making up all those copies of Pavement's Live, the captured-in-concert affair that comes with every preorder of the big set. Bummer, though the Matablog does make a good point: you've now got two extra weeks to hop on the Buy Early Get Now deal for the disc, which gets you some bonus cuts and a full album stream already.
