About time, fellers, about time.

theyre not allowed the cunts. they said they were only playing a few spiderland shows.
sure yer mans a plumber.

Oh dear - way to ruin a legacy.

Life is short. The dudes work well together and obviously missed the band. They're still fairly young, they did "Spiderland" when they were about 20. There's nothing wrong with great musicians playing together. Any myth that had built up was blown apart by that reunion tour, and then doing more shows this summer. I think their legacy would be tainted if they didn't do new stuff after that.

i think slint should re-record 'raw power' with steve albini

 

[GARYXKNIFEDX]

I reckon this will be worse than all the nth rate slint copy bands. At least,if the gig in vicar street is anything to go by.

 

[SONYMEGADRIVE]

i'm imaginging you saying "VACAR STREEET" in your nordy brogue

and "FAAAAAAAAHCCKK!!!!"

 

[GARYXKNIFEDX]

I corrected my spelling mistake. I think my description of the gig at the time was probably along the lines of "boring shite"

 

[SONYMEGADRIVE]

yeah it was rubbish
total snorefest

the tweez shit was way better than the spiderland shit

 

[GARYXKNIFEDX]

I could well agree with that.

 

[SONYMEGADRIVE]

well we'll have to agree to un-disagree on this one gary

 

[oh shit]

i want my money back, i went to that atp on the understanding that it was a "one off". and it was 80% shit.
bastards.
vicar st was like a funeral.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Hmm. Thought the ATP gig was a bit of a shambles but they managed to get their act together for the Vicar Street gig. 'Good Morning, Captain' was like a jet-plane taking off fr'instance.
Like you, I feel a little gyp'd that they've decided to reform given that they said ATP was strictly a one-off, putting the myth of Slint to bed blah blah blah but I'd be intrigued to hear some new stuff nonetheless. What would new Slint material sound like in 2007 given the evolution of the 'post-rock genre' they practically started?

I'm just waiting on Rodan and Bitch Magnet to get back together.

yeah i reckon they could take a good stab at 'Funhouse' and 'ST' re-recorded with Steve Albini

I don't care if it's not as good as Spiderland. It'll probably be better than "The For Carnation" with Pajo and Walford involved (I know Walford was on one track on TFC), and I love that album, so I'm looking forward to it. Fair play to them. All this hipster shit about them destroying their legacy means fuck all to me. As if anyone in 100 years time will care if Slint released 2 or 3 albums.

 

[SONYMEGADRIVE]

i bet that you'll still care when you're 125

i'll be balls deep into chinese free jazz by that stage

There'll probably be nothing but Chinese music by that point.
