don't quote me on this, but i downloaded an AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING slint bootleg during their first reunion tour.. i mean, it sounded unbelievable... soundboard but.. it sounds like whoever recorded it cleaned it up a bit afterwards.. cuz it just sounded unreal..
anyway, i never got around to burning it.. i think maybe it was a bit too long or something to fit on a cd-r maybe?.. i don't remember.. god i wish i had burnt that cd..
ANYWAY, if i recall, they had one new song on it.. i think they kept em instrumental (and yes I've heard everything they've done, including that little EP with the 2 instrumental songs, and that wasn't the song).. anyway, it was amazing.
thinking about the whole "math rock" genre, the only band who has really approached what slint did in a serious way was probably june of 44.. i mean, you see bands like rodan or don cab or somebody kind of having similiar dynamics, but i'm talking the spoken word vocals and unique guitar chording and tuning and whatnot, june of 44 probably had it..
but thinking harder about it, i realize that slint had something unbelievably unique even beyond i think what anyone has grasped already.. so much has been written about that album, but so much more could be written... the guitar playing/tone on that album is REALLY unique, i haven't heard anything like it before... the drummer should also get a cookie.
i think they could very easily write another amazing and compelling album.. though i have an odd feeling from that new song that'd it probably just be really really complex album.. which isn't really what slint is about to me (it's more about the dynamics and the mood moreso than the weird time signatures).. but either way, i'd welcome it..
am i the only one who really loves "Tweez"?
