** Nigel Godrich originally proposed a very different running order for ''Terror Twilight'', which would have had an experimental first half and a more accessible second half - the final version of the album tends to alternate between those two styles every other track instead. The vinyl and digital editions of ''Terror Twilight: Farewell Horizontal'', present a {{recut}} version of the album as Nigel would have wanted it, whereas the CD edition preserves the running order of the original 1999 release.

** Nigel Godrich originally proposed a very different running order for ''Terror Twilight'', which would have had an started with the two longest, most experimental first half tracks ("Platform Blues" and a "The Hexx") and save most of the catchier, more accessible songs for the second half - the final version of the album tends to alternate between those two styles every other - "Spit On A Stranger", the opening track instead.on the original release of the album, would have been the ''last'' song if Nigel had his way.

Added DiffLines:

** The Frogs' "Pay" includes the lyric "Got all the records that Pavement made / And I smashed them all today" - it's an over-the-top angry BreakupSong parody directed at a {{hipster}} girl, so the narrator seems to be destroying their records out of spite.

* SerendipityWritesThePlot: The ''Pacific Trim'' EP was performed as a trio (only Stephen Malkmus, Bob Nastanovich and Steve West appear), and written and recorded in 10 days. This time was originally booked for a Music/SilverJews session, but David Barman couldn't make it, so rather than waste the studio time they'd already paid for, they opted to write a few new songs in-studio and release the results as a short Pavement EP, which they could then sell as merch on an upcoming Australian tour.

* DoingItForTheArt: Zig-Zagged with ''Terror Twilight''. Producer [[Music/{{Radiohead}} Nigel Godrich]] waived his fee in order to record it, and even went as far as to sleep on a friend's floor in New York City during the production. However Godrich's choice of more high-end studios in lieu of the more DIY approaches of previous albums led to it being the most expensive album in the band's history.

* DevelopmentHell: The ''Farewell Horizontal Edition'' of ''Terror Twilight'' was announced in 2008 and, as of this writing more than ten years later, still hasn't been released. WordOfGod says they "put it off because it wasn't a nice enough package". It's speculated that the decision to use most of the B-sides from the ''Terror Twilight'' singles on ''Brighten the Corners: Nicene Creedence Edition'' resulted in a dearth of bonus material, though there may still be some live material left in the vaults.
