B-side Carrot Rope (2000)
Carrot Rope" (erroneously known as "...And Carrott Rope", the "...and" was added to the stylized tracklisting on the back of Terror Twilight signifying that it is the final song on the album and not actually apart of the title) is a song from Pavement's 1999 album Terror Twilight. The song was released as a single in May 1999, exclusively in the United Kingdom. Elsewhere, "Spit on a Stranger" was released instead. On the commentary track to the group's Slow Century DVD, Stephen Malkmus explained that this single release was at the specific request of the group's UK label, Domino Records following significant playtime on John Peel's Radio 1 show. "Carrot Rope" would become the band's second and final UK top 40 hit.
"Carrot Rope Pt. 1" is the first of three different formats of the single, all of which were released on May 16, 1999. All 3 formats carry the album version of the song. This one of 2 compact disc editions. The two B-sides accompanying the title track are both found on the contemporaneous US release of Spit on a Stranger. The catalogue number for the CD version is RUG90CD1.
"Carrot Rope Pt. 2" is the second format of the single, again on compact disc. Once again, the two B-sides accompanying the title track were both also released on the US Spit on a Stranger single. The catalogue number for the CD version is RUG90CD2.
