The Slint guys are talking like their best is behind them. They're geniuses and should make more music!

this band just always give off such a strange, depressing vibe. Even here when they’re just talking, there’s still something sad about it.

Furious Seasons nothing to feel bad about man-I've a certain Scottish dialect called Doric that others in Scotland and the UK hardly understand but I speak how I speak-I tend to tell people that say I'm a "yokel from the 'shire" and they don't understand me that I talk closer to Burns than you and that tends to shut them up. Fuck accents-we are who we are bud

If you like Slint, listen to Rodan’s record Rusty. They’re fellow Louisvillians from Slint’s primary group of peers. There’s also June of 44, the Sonora Pine, Gastr Del Sol, Seam, Bitch Magnet, Bastro, Rachels, Evergreen, the For Carnation, Palace Music. There’s actually a Slint family tree of bands in the 33 1/3 spiderland book.

I went swimming in the quarry a few years ago.

I saw these guys play at Club Dreamerz on Milwaukee Blvd the first time they ever played in Chicago. My recollection is they played that show in February or March of '89. They played songs from Tweez. The first song was their rendition of Rise Above by Black Flag. I saw them the second time they played at Dreamerz later that same year when they played songs that would be on Spiderland. I'm glad things are a memory blur for them too; it ain't just me.

Britt has a very unusual temperment. Did he take lots of drugs as a youngster? Or is he just eccentric? I mean that in a good way, I like eccentricity sometimes.

Dunno, he's like if a kid with Aspergers was raised by hippies who encouraged him to be as odd as possible. He seems not to acknowledge social obstacles while having very limited ambitions. I understand after Slint broke up he slept on a couch and baked penis-shaped cakes.

Are they, though? Everyone who knows about them pretty much acknowledges the band as legendary and Spiderland a classic. In the years after they split up, Spiderland continued to spread around the world, and so many big bands (Radiohead, for example) acknowledge them as a huge influence. I feel like if they were underrated you'd hear a lot of "Slint weren't very good and Spiderland is a shitty album".
