I dunno if you guys had friends like this, but the first guys I ever played music with could do as Slint did, just sit with a groove or a jam for an hour, messing around until it made sense. I played with these same dudes last fall and fell right into the same thing, which was neat, but I’ve noticed it doesn’t work in the same way with others. It’s more piecemeal where someone has a specific vision rather than a group of minds taking an idea and evolving it.
@@storaxsedan2076 - When it works, there’s almost no better feeling. There’s something so neat about a group of people all adding their bits to something greater than the parts. As a bassist, you can often vibe back and listen, as much of holding a groove is doing the same thing again and again, changing every 8 or 16.
Awesome, interesting, heart warming. What I like best is that half the time, it kinda feels like HE is interviewing you. His genuine interest in you and your studies etc. is pretty cool. Thanks, I had a good time listening to this. :)
Matthew, you took a very out there musically AND of course talented man from his comfort zone, which isn't easy for most of us who have aged just a little (LOL), and did a nice job with the interview. I just came upon this as I fidgeted through some UA-cam Slint & Squirrel Bait videos/music/documentaries. I was and still am such a dorky, huge fan of Mr. Walford. Thanks for posting.
I discovered spiderland through the movie KIDS. I was only listening to good morning captain for many years, then I got the whole album and all songs are so great, that whenever I listen to only one song of it, I need to listen to the rest of the album as well. it's a unique masterpiece by a bunch of kids.
@@samuelborsellino2553 haha hey I just checked it out and I think I misremembered it. I thought it was in this scene, but it's a different song 49:45 /watch?v=sp5MurnDiSE (that's the movie in spanish)
Seems like two really decent people having such a beautifully polite and sensitive chat. I found it rather life-affirming. Been obsessed with Spiderland since Albini awarded'Ten Fucking stars' in the Melody Maker. But it was Squirel Bait that started it. I went all the way to Louisville because of them - part of a road trip on a visit from England, years ago now Spent the afternoon in a bar ( The Mag Bar?) with some wonderful folk and winded up seeing Lucero. I could drone on way more... The power of music
Oh man, I made the trek to Louisville with some friends in '95, all the way from Melbourne, Australia! We pulled up at the address in the Spiderland liner notes in a pretty dodgy looking Dodge Ram, just wanting to take photos. There were some curious faces looking back out at us from the windows inside, so we freaked out and bailed. I hope we didn't freak them out too much! Can't believe we didn't have the guts to say hello...
It’s so strange how over all those years they were able to get it together to make some more things whereas they all got on and did their own different things. I think Pajo and Brian have worked together over the years though.
In the music itself you definitely don't hear it that much but acthally they've said that Don, Aman is indeed and acronym for Madonna! So that's pretty neat
It's interesting to compare/contrast this interview with, say, Henry Rollins' interview with a 14 year-old punker in '83. They are similar in that the interviewee becomes the interviewer, but other than that, they're just about the polar opposite: ua-cam.com/video/o-xMkHgan0Y/v-deo.html It's nice to see Britt connect with Matthew, and it fits very much with the unassuming nature of Slint. Four very young guys manage to create music that was decades ahead of their time, and it's endearing how they don't even really know how they did it to this day.
What influenced Spiderland? "AC/DC, Madonna, and Niel Young". Haha, I'm sure he's being serious, but it's so funny Nonetheless. I really enjoyed True Blue though.
as far as acdc goes, in 1980-82 acdc was not widely accepted mainstream, back in black was massively successful yes, u didn’t see them on the grammys being introduced by pop stars. they were more mysterious that album is great. you would see their records at target for example but I was the only kid & 2 others who liked them everyone else was into rush & metal, they didn’t think of acdc as metal. acdc totally lost the handle after for those about to rock. Really weak & cheesy fly on the wall,blow up your video sounds like plastic.
dude, the guy is gracious to the max, you asked him kind of invasive questions, he has a private life too, u know. He indulged in your what would he change question & it was pretty deep. You said nothing & jumped to next question. Desert Island 3 albums, give me a break.
Awesome drummer that bloke kind of odd that people read into things so much that they think a creative musician changes all musix and has insights into all things
I think most people understand that they might effect some music and have insights into some things. Certainly not all music and all things. Nobody thinks that way
Bro ended up being interviewed by Britt Walford.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
So obsessed with how he started interviewing you instead
I was so nervous, so that definitely caught me off-guard and helped! This was my first real interview lol
This interview is just a further extension of his performance art.
@@mjturner98 Swag Walford never fails to subvert expectations.
@@mjturner98 seems like britts fatherly instincts kicked in pretty hard when he saw that you were nervous
Confirmed, without Madonna no Spiderland. Mind blown.
you can't spell "Don, Aman" without Madonna
He was messing with him. Come on AC/DC?!?
@@Imsosaditsgottenthisno
he wasn’t, he’s mentioned acdc in other interviews
@@Imsosaditsgottenthis Don Aman is literally Madonna scrambled, like the guy above mentioned
I dunno... check out the drums on Material Girl.. they are sublime
Britt has the most unique personality - I want to pick his brain about everything, not just music.
Britt" Boy that's neat".😝
he looks like he carries so much baggage, in his face at least. His voice is another story though.
There is so much going on in his head. No off-switch. Slint is the fucking GOAT.
dude is fascinating in his way of talking, gracious af.
he’s thoughtful & not selling a thing
his parents are lovely & it shows in his disposition
Dang, I like this guy so much. Would love to play music with him.
fuckin same would love to jam with him
Same, I’d love to pick his brain on his influences and songwriting process
I dunno if you guys had friends like this, but the first guys I ever played music with could do as Slint did, just sit with a groove or a jam for an hour, messing around until it made sense.

Britt is so based
Great interview. He is an interesting human being for sure.

Where in the movie does this song appear? What scene?

Waiting for the “15 minutes could save you 15% on car insurance” line.
Body w/o organs
This is great. I'm really enjoying the whole family tree from squirrel bait onwards
Ah Matthew! For your first interview you brought the number One... Good work. Thank you
He's a nice guy I like him just fine,but he's a mouth breather
Jesus 😀

@@ggnoise superb, mate. Superb...
These are both fantastic stories, guys.
This is just wonderful. Thank you so much
Really liked this interview, thanks for doing it
Another Slint album would be interesting. Britt and David Pajo alone with some spoken word and fuzz bass... Let's go!!! Whoo!!!
They'd need to get Brian too, cmon!
It’s so strange how over all those years they were able to get it together to make some more things whereas they all got on and did their own different things. I think Pajo and Brian have worked together over the years though.
i love it when the interviewer becomes the interviewed.
Madonna wasnt the most obvious influence one could pick up on Spiderland but i love that shit
In the music itself you definitely don't hear it that much but acthally they've said that Don, Aman is indeed and acronym for Madonna! So that's pretty neat
britt walford
Fuck i love this guy so much
Amazing interview! Great work, looking forward to seeing new content :-)
britt would be best played by paul dano
Don stepped outside
Amazing
Goofy ah Britt Walford
Thanks for posting! Real good for your first interview too! Keep up the good work!
This is so amazing. Musk is Psyop heavy, no doubt. Much love, fellas
I have such a huge crush on Britt

Cool! Curious how you managed to get this interview with him.
I wish I could find some information about Britt's involvement with the Palace Bros "There is No One" record.
How did you get in contact with him?
Britt or as I like to call him, Bill burr with hair
lol I can’t unsee it now
This is fantastic.
Very cool interview, you did a great job interviewing this legend:)
Legend on getting lucky writing one OK album with a few minutes of music
@@stalkingafemcreep5114 could not diagree more. Each to their own. Have a great day:)
@stalkingafem creep lol dude really? Their influence alone makes em legendary.

Really weak & cheesy fly on the wall,blow up your video sounds like plastic.
I get the feeling Brit agreed to this interview before he realized that the spirit of Chris Farley was conducting the interview.
Remember that time that you made that music with those other guys???
@@aaronbrewer1831 that was awesome.
The world needs dreamers...
Such a great interview. Britt, try Mubi for you movies.
"ah neat that sounds like a neat run of education"
dude, the guy is gracious to the max, you asked him kind of invasive questions, he has a private life too, u know. He indulged in your what would he change question & it was pretty deep. You said nothing & jumped to next question.
Desert Island 3 albums, give me a break.
Ween! Impressive.
Was hoping for more social media PsyOp chat. 🤣

Did you guys ever do the edit with music with this?
Stuart Douglas Larkin all grown up is the interviewer guy...Look what I can do...
it’s obvious publicity in modern life is propaganda
don, aman or madonna
Why do these 90's indie rock guys come off as serial killers?
They're so dark and perplexed! Heavy, bro. Heavy. Lol.😂
NPR called. They want their boredom back.
back in black
The pace and feeling of interview is as listening to the Spiderland...It's bizarre and fascinating...
