B-side Carrot Rope (2000)
"Carrot Rope" is a UK-only single by Pavement. Elsewhere, Spit on a Stranger was released instead. On the commentary track to the group's Slow Century DVD, Stephen Malkmus is heard explaining that this release was at the specific request of the group's UK label , Domino Records following significant playtime on John Peel's Radio 1 show. The song is taken from the album Terror Twilight. "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.

Carrot Rope 7" is the last of three different forms of the single this time issued on 7" vinyl. The B-side, "And Then" is actually an early version of "The Hexx" from Terror Twilight recorded several years earlier; it was also issued on the US Spit on a Stranger 7" single. The catalogue number for the single is RUG90.

  • All you saying the Terror Twilight version "ruined it" or was too smooth, settle down. We are blessed to have multiple versions. They each have singular fine qualities that don't infringe on the others existence, just enjoy each for what they are. I think the lyrics and guitars are better in the TT take, but this is slightly more cohesive, stands on it's own best. It's a close call for me, very close.

  • This is a better version than "the Hexx" on terror Twillight.... the TT version is too polished
