Pavement's "Wowee Zowee: Sordid Sentinels Edition," a deluxe expanded reissue of their classic third album will be in stores on November 7. In honor of it, here's some footage of Pavement performing "Grounded" in Manchester from Nov. 19, 1999. The footage comes from Lance Bangs' Slow Century DVD.

This is a preview of the DVD that will be packaged on the upcoming Chavez double-CD redux 'Better Days Will Haunt You' on Matador. The footage was recorded during the band's European tour with Guided By Voices in 1996.

'Better Days Will Haunt You' double CD+DVD in stores October 10. Until then, enjoy this look back at the nineties, when Chavez was riding high, playing the Hollywood Bowl, accepting gold records, running the Chavez Kids charity, and surfing in tuxedos. "Unreal Is Here" was directed by Clay Tarver, and scandalously ignored by the VMA's

In the history of motion pictures, there is no shortage of lost classics. Be it Erich Von Stroheim's "Greed," or Orson Welles' original cut of "The Magnificent Ambersons," coulda, shoulda, woulda been masterpieces have slipped through the cracks of time for as long as movies existed. But for the past 3 months, no lost classic has been so lost, or so classic as the 3rd episode of the Early Man demolition derby. Metal fans, fans of crashing cars, and especially fans of crashing cars while listening to metal have been walking around with an Early Man shaped hole in their hearts, seemingly destined to wait in cruel anticipation forever.

The wait is over my friends.

Ladies and gentlemen, I'm proud to present the electrifying conclusion to the Early Man car-wrecking saga. Once thought lost for all time, a print was discovered behind some stuff in our office. It is presented here, in sumptuous m4v format, for your viewing pleasure.

If you like heavy metal, chances are you like cars. If you like cars, chances are you like demolition derby. If part two, Mark O tricks out and specs out the Early Man sponsored car.

If you like heavy metal, chances are you like cars. If you like cars, chances are you like demolition derby. See part one of the metal band Early Man's sponsored car, driven by the death defying Kade Blackburn, in the midst of some brutal action of its own last Summer, as part of the Wayne County (Utah) Demolition Derby. The band's friend, David Kleiler, documents this momentuous marriage of rock and motor sports, and the first part of his series of video vingettes about the weekend.

In this final episode, Mogwai talks about what it's like being Mogwai.

Mogwai describes Mr. Beast as a less self-indulgent project although they've found new ways to be indulgent, including an even louder live show. But in a bout of brutal honesty, they still can't tell you whether it's their best yet.

Mogwai talks up the songs, the progress and what their fans might think of their latest album, 'Mr. Beast'.
