Slint "working on new material" (1 Viewer)

[Gambra]

Think about it. I propose setting up labels to exploit this new field of music. It'll be HUGE..

 

[oh shit]

there'll be nothing left anywhere
except that chick from 'threads' with her mutant baby

geez such pessimistic pricks!

i thought both the ATP and Vicar St gigs were amazing by the way

 

[Flux]

Same here. Vicar St could have been louder though.

Same here. Vicar St could have been louder though.

agreed. apparently they traveled with their own p.a. in the u.s., even augmenting the biggest p.a. in s.f. at the great american music hall

Same here. Vicar St could have been louder though.

yea. I think that's there whole thing.i read that they used to practise in this dark shed with all the lights out, and play really fuckin loud and work out their songs to a T.

and that's exactly how they play live aswell.a few people were complaining that it was "exactly like the record" or "like a funeral" but what were they expecting? Spiderland was the beginnings of math-rock, but with really dark, moody songs. The gigs were exactly what you'd expect

What would new Slint material sound like in 2007 given the evolution of the 'post-rock genre' they practically started?

 

[ratmonkey]

They'd sound like Mogwai t-shirts?

 

[Gambra]

No, course not.. They'd sound like Mogwai breasts..

 

[ratmonkey]

A bit like this then?

 

[nlgbbbblth]

They'd sound like Mogwai t-shirts?

as in blur: shite?

 

[Gambra]

But Mogwait aren't shite

 

[Flux]

I'll tell ya what, Mogwai's drummer is pretty shite. A proper Larry Mullen he is.

 

[Gambra]

No body gives a fuck about Mogwai drumming though

 

[Flux]

I gave a fuck when he destroyed their set at ATP a couple of years ago. Sometimes he gets away with it, but when he's off-form he's terrible.

 

[Gambra]

sexy. I didn't even look at him or notice him at Electric Picnic last year..

 

[Flux]

Ah yeah, I've been at some great Mogwai gigs, but it always niggles me.

 

[cmndr mind fuck]

I wouldnt be interested in them at all really, bands getting back together + recording sucks most of the time,i they made some nice albums,played a few shows for those that didnt see em etc..meh.

no,
but Stuart Braithwaite did wear a t-shirt which said 'Blur: shite'
which was

1) irritating
2) arrogant
3) condescending
4) punch-in-the-faceable
5) incorrect
