The strange saga of Pavement’s Terror Twilight-era B-side “Harness Your Hopes” has taken another turn. Back in 1999, when it first appeared on Pavement’s Spit On A Stranger EP, the song was not a noteworthy part of the band’s catalog, but two decades years later, it somehow got caught up in Spotify’s algorithm, becoming Pavement’s biggest streaming hit. The band made a music video for “Harness Your Hopes” when they gave Terror Twilight the deluxe reissue treatment in 2022, and the song became a mainstay of their live show during that year’s reunion tour.

Modest Mouse has been performing this song since last summer -- we heard it again in Hollywood last month -- though this Letterman clip is probably the best indication of how it will sound on record. Said record is an orange vinyl single b/w "Guilty Cocker Spaniels." MM is minus a Marr these days (Johnny's now a full time Crib), but this tune is...
