Yep, loved it. Amazing that they were playing with Minor Threat when they were 14 yr olds,
In fairness,I doubt Minor Threat would have been much older.

MacKaye would've been in his early twenties.In fairness,I doubt Minor Threat would have been much older.
In the doc I think they said '84 but that couldn't be accurate - Minor Threat split up the year previous, right? It must have been pretty much their final tour for the ages of the Slint lads to make sense.I think Brian Baker was about 15 or so when they started. So depending when they played together,not much older.
Yeah I'd no idea they'd started so young; really great stuff. They all seem like really sound people too. Hope they do more.Yep, loved it. Amazing that they were playing with Minor Threat when they were 14 yr olds, recording with Albini while still in their teens. Rehearsing 5 days a week on their summer holidays from college. Made me really nostalgic. But also it was just great to see the footage, hear the tunes on those massive big speakers and piece it all together. There really was something in the water in Louisville round then. They kicked it all off I guess.
Yes it was pre-Slint bands they were talking about. Can't remember the name if the first one but the second was called Maurice.
Yeah it was a pre-Slint band. Don't think it was Squirrel Bait coz they're the ones I knew. Might have been Maurice or something even earlier.Just looking at Discogs,and what Slint related stuff I'm familiar with etc (Pretty much the only things I like are Squirrel Bait,and Solution Unknown,who I've only heard a little of),anyway,according to Discogs Slint formed in '86 meaning it must have been pre Slint bands who played with Minor Threat.
Out of curiosity,does Honor Role get a mention? I always thought Slint owed a huge debt to them,especially the first Slint record.
"anyone know are the two spiderland cast-offs they mentioned on the box-set?)"languid & flaccid? they'd a good line in band names - one flyer listed one called 'your food'.
really enjoyed this myself, especially for albini admitting mistakes not once, but twice - firstly on the final mix for tweez and secondly on his initial criticisms of brian paulson's recording of spiderland. (
would've liked more interview with grubbs, oddly no will oldham. overall, glad the mystique was undermined a bit, instead of being burnished. slint was the first thing i looked up on "the internet" back in 1995 when info was rare.
Yeah pretty sure they are the 10" tracks alright. Which was released in '94, right? That tune 'Glenn' is a screamer."anyone know are the two spiderland cast-offs they mentioned on the box-set?)"
Were they not the 2 tracks released on that untitled 10" sometime in the noughties??
They do have a "new" tune that they've been playing at shows, not really up to a whole lot if I remember correctly.
Yep once Tweez was released they already had the tracks in the can and advertised a forthcoming 12" single with the LP. But Spiderland followed on pretty quickly and the two tracks were initially flagged for inclusion. Brian changed his mind, however, and they were left on the shelf another little bit longer.the 10" wasn't anything to do with spiderland, was an EP they recorded for release after tweez, but they got signed by touch and go and decided to shelve it. touch and go then released it in 1994
No mention of Honor Role as far as I can recall, although they didn't really touch upon influences that much at all.
