Shady Lane is an EP by Pavement. It was released May 20, 1997 on Matador Records. The title song comes from the band's album Brighten the Corners. It collects all the b-sides from the two "Shady Lane" UK singles.

"Shady Lane (krossfader)" is a very similar version to the one on the album Brighten the Corners; the gap between the first chorus and second verse is shortened and the extended instrumental part towards the end (identified on the album as J Vs. S) is omitted.

The song "Slowly Typed" can also be found on Brighten The Corners, where it is named "Type Slowly". The version here is quite different, faster and more lo-fi with a country touch.
