new slint song? i didn't know about this

song is awesome

i just watched the live version of Captain. "I MISS YOU" sends chills down my spine.

The new slint song is hilariously bad. When I saw them play it live, I couldn't help laughing, because I thought it was a joke. Everything else they put out is fantastic (yes, including Tweez!).

Weird, I was listening to [i]Spiderland[/i] when I clicked on this thread, and everyone's talking about 'em.

Watching the new song now...

The new song is ok. It sounds like something a high school band would play.

Haha, yeah. Also, I think I'd be bored out of my mind if I ever saw Slint live and hadn't taken some psychotropic botanicals prior to the show.

i think the new song kind of drags as it goes along and it doesn't seem to go anywhere. it still sounds cool in parts, especially towards the beginning.

It was nice seeing Slint play [I]Spiderland[/I], and they played it well. Too well. It was just like listening to the record, there was no deviation, and they had the stage presence of a brick wall. The only reason I semi-enjoyed the show was because I liked the songs so much, but looking back it was a disappointing gig.

The new song was weird to me, as it didn't sound anything like Slint. From what I remember

sounded like a slint song to me

Yeah word.

they should have shook their guitars and punched their amps

Agreed.

Smog - [I]Accumulation: None[/I]
Mum - [I]Finally We Are No One[/I]

the singer got pretty into it when i saw them.

After multiple tries I've decided that Animal Collective is just not meant for me.

And yeah, Slint is pretty fantastic, though I've only got Spiderland. I hear their other cds they've got are mediocre, though, so I'm alright with this.

new slint song was meh

if you like spiderland you should listen to the EP at least.

Suddenly I like [I]For Alto[/I] by Anthony Braxton. I used to kinda loath it in general.

I like Rhoda off the ep.


I picked up my friend once and I had Good Morning Captain playing in the car, no one said a word. You could feel the tension building up in the car.

I put Carol on the other day in the car with my little sister and mom (its the one where it sounds like there is glass shattering everywhere) and they had these wtf expressions on their faces, it made me lol. i also tried to introduce my mom and her boyfriend to new music so i had them listen to Lightning Bolt and Deerhoof in the car but i dont think it turned out to well...

Hahaha, I'm going to start punching my amp at shows.

Slint should have a Freebird style guitar duel at the end of Good Morning, Captain.

My perception of music is seriously skewed from a normal person's perspective. When I saw Deerhoof on Monday I took my friend whose never heard them before and I described them as being a pretty normal 3 piece rock band, he though different when the show was over. From the music I normally listen to, they're pretty basic but from someone who's a Rammstein fan its wild. More people than I'd expect like Lightning Bolt though.

Frank Zappa - Sleep Dirt

heh yeah thats pretty much how i am. i'm just more drawn to less accessible music. Deerhoof aren't too bizarre in my mind. lol, i burned a cd with Dr. Octagonecolygist on it and tried to play it out with my friend the other night and she made me take it out. i thought she would have liked it but apparently i thought wrong...

I forget that my music is bizarre because in my house it was perfectly acceptable. So at work, or in public, or even around friends sometimes I notice my music kind of... upsets and confuses. It's not on purpose.

My friend did not know how to react when I first played him some Ween. He actually kind of hated it. But The Mollusk is now one of his favorite albums. I don't even find Ween all that strange.

The only band who I've turned someone on to irl are the Meat Puppets. I gave up on it now and just keep it to myself except whoever is riding with me in my car gets a taste of what I'm digging that week.

Sometimes i find something for someone that i think they would honestly enjoy, and i just get a "what the hell is wrong with you" kind of reaction.

i think i've gotten my mom to like Blonde Redhead and Yo La Tengo, thats about it though.

Those two are pretty accessible. I turned someone on to Husker Du also, but if you grew up in the 90's those sort of riffs are already engraved in your brain anyway.

I have introduced plenty of music to friends, but only certain friends for the most part. People who actually came to me and asked me to reccomend stuff, or if I know what they listen to and know something similar. Although I compare music that sometimes no one else hears the comparison at all.

But I've gotten friends into lots of music.

give up on letting normal people listen to music. (though to be fair to my classmates who didn't like Husker Du, the guitars WERE too loud and the production in general was simply bad)

i'm glad we all view ourselves as freaks.

Pow pow pow.

pg. 99 is so ****ing good.

Their split with CTTs is swell.

I've started listening to Bjork - Homogenic again. I love this album.

i just d/led [i]Leaves Turn Inside You[/i] i cant wait to listen to it :D

Boxcutter - [I]Oneiric[/I]

a lot. this is some of the coolest electronica.

i gotta get [I]Glyphic[/I], how does that compare?

ohhhh man.... i thought you were just one of those that had [B]only heard[/B] [I]Leaves Turn Inside You[/I]... had you heard anything before [I]Repetition[/I]? [I]Leaves...[/I] is going to blow you away, you won't really be expecting it. no doubt going to love it
