“Carrot Rope” by Pavement
From the album Terror Twilight (1999)
“Carrot Rope” by Pavement appears on 1 radio countdown from 1 station in 1999. It was first released in 1999 on the album Terror Twilight. Its best result is #45 on the John Peel's Festive Fifty of 1999. In the combined RockLists rankings it is the #397 alternative song of 1999.
"Carrot Rope" closes Terror Twilight, Pavement's 1999 album, which is why it's often mislabeled "...and Carrot Rope": the "...and" on the back cover's stylized track list only flagged it as the last song. Stephen Malkmus wrote it, Nigel Godrich produced, and Dominic Murcott is credited on drums.
Britain got it as a single in May 1999, while everyone else got "Spit on a Stranger"; Malkmus later explained, on the commentary for the Slow Century DVD, that Domino asked for it after John Peel played it heavily on his Radio 1 show. It peaked at 27, the band's best UK chart placing and their second and last Top 40 single there. Yet it missed the best-of Quarantine the Past, turning up only on a limited Record Store Day edition built from a fan's track list.
