Slint ::: Breadcrumb Trail ::: May 24th 2007

[bloodcumulus]

this music is amazing,the vocals are genius, inspires sincerity, 

[zendertaker]

tight as fuck

[Chaossangel]

I only discovered that post rock was essentially born here in Louisville just two days ago. I'm sure glad I did.

Now I have Sigur Ros, GY!BE, and now, Slint.

[TeganMckenzie]

im proud to have bought this in the 90's on CD at my local music store (spillers, cardiff) thanks to the early internet back in the day as it were :)

[thedevicedrummer]

1:20 and I was like: :Q_______

[0megadwarf]

It sounds just like the recording

[derdfike]

Whoa! David Pajo is a giant in this!

[WestHamByTheSea]

Still as beautiful as when a mate gave me a tape of 'Spiderland' in 93', with the hushed words "You've really got to hear this!".

Back then there was really only word-of-mouth for Slint and bands like them, it was a real find!

As much as the internet (particularly YouTube!!!) brings out a load of bellends/cyber-warriors, it's great that people get into bands like this through it too.

[TrashCanSchool]

bitches..I've got the 'spiderland spider' tatooed on my left arm since like 1997..the absolute textbook 'proto emo indie album' of all time.

[bootsy900]

did slint have any idea what they were creating when they were just pencil necked geeky kids?

i'm 34 now and get the same goosebumps and weird transfixed state of mind now as when i was 15, every time i listen to spiderland.

amazing...

[ThatJerkface]

i only discovered slint just recently...really wish i was in on this sooner

[GrungeRock1991]

God damn it I wish I could have been there.

[crazypaki007]

those lights are ill it makes it so trippy

[mattisprettycool]

this would have been unreal to see live.

[weezadam]

i saw them in NYC summer '07, the venue was small enough that i was able to get a full frontal view of the band right at the stage. Their performance was mind-blowing and the show was incredible!

[myexitmusictube]

my favourite slint track, marvelous, slint have/had a magical quality

[Nyxzen]

Spiderland - best album ever.

[XforkbenderX]

F'in right.

[liramarion]

yay ^^

[kerinion69]

greaaat song

[kazicimir]

are there any metal bands with this sort of feel?

[smiauu]

i havent heard anything with this sort of feel.

[NekkruEvul]

ved buens ende comes to mind

[MegalonsRevenge]

try gojira

[jamjargod]

no, they're shite

[MegalonsRevenge]

i kinda like em.

[jamjargod]

depends wat your into, but im more into slint and auiable music

[DemonSlide]

Try Cynic

[BruisedEyeSockets]

I get to see them in 2 weeks :)

[GrungeRock1991]

Don't listen to that guy. Gojira has no resemblance to Slint whatsoever. As a matter of fact, Gojira really sucks, so you might as well just stick with Slint, cause nothing else quite sounds like this.

[NightRanger77]

@GrungeRock1991 Nononononoon....gojira does not suck. They are both good bands.

[OPCXZNN]

Amazing song from an amazing album.

[xxmarka]

the emotion that this song captures is ABSURDLY INTENSE

[jettafreakin1]

i wish i was there...damn!!!! this takes me back

[nelson3300]

wow this is great! they are awesome live

[pikwako]

This is simply amazing.

Can a band be more emotional than Slint?

[theweakarefree]

i could listen to this song all day on repeat

genius

[shmak]

Lollllllllllll!!!! Thats what I did today!!:)

unbelievable band!!! Can't find things like this these days...

[ChristopheMinnik]

@theweakarefree endlessyoutubedotcom my friend! it is the best thing to happen to me since i discovered Slint.

[shablaman]

i think their "no stage presence" is the best stage presence for the style they have

[bleurgh]

Yeah, it's basically no BS - just listen to the awesome music and see the talent. Damn, I can't get enough of this track.

[shablaman]

i think their "no stage presence" is the best stage presence for the style they have

[bigwigum]

great band influenced so many

[kicksex]

ya know people say they have no stage presence.....so fucking what?

do you hear any mistakes?

they sound perfect note for note..

id rather a band play tight then jump around like idiots and play bad....these guys dont miss a note...

still sound great after all these years

[Joris85]

I agree.

You have to see them live to understand it's really worth being there.

Apart from Slint I don't really like bands copying the cd. I saw Porcupine Tree live once and I couldn't wait for the end to come. But then, I don't really like their music anyway.

[kicksex]

yeah, i know what you mean about copying the cd.

I love Sebadoh but I was a little dissapointed in their live show.....they messed around too much, the songs that i loved didnt sound as good as the cd and really id like it to sound somewhat like the cd but with tasteful extras....maybe im picky..

[theweakarefree]

This brings so many memories of Louisville in the early 90's....

If you don't know anything about the Louisville music scence in the 90's then you should check out Rodan, Sunspring, Endpoint, The Rachels...

[toymachineskater93]

what an outstanding band

[jacobladders]

killer band with an unbeleivable sound of brewing challeging piece of music saw them @webster hall nyc 7-17-07. one of my top favorites. soothing and relaxing heavy alternative rock

[flagrantsake]

they were a great band. first jandek plays and now this.

[herrboggy]

[gclalit]

Thanks so much for posting this - my soundtrack for the nineties

Perfect Album, Spiderland, favorite album of all time

[bubs16]

Please get back together Slint!

[Flatnoy69]

This is an example of why independent music is so important.  A rare gem that not many people know about, yet those who do know they are one of the greatest bands ever conceived. Thank you for this video.

[gregorisgod]

Belter.

Saw them in London, they were fantastic.

[drdread70]

Finally some awesome audio/video quality Slint videos. Thanks so much!

[blehdurr]

the ticket-taker smiled and the last car was ready; who told you you could leave?

i love that part.

[jmpiork]

Excellent sound. Amazing live band. Precise as a laser.

[jmh2277]
