Yeah there’s just something empty feeling about the whole thing. Like they don’t even remember much and they’re just like yeah. It’s just so strange like a weird little record trapped in time that they almost don’t even recall.
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
I grew up listening to these guys and their music still inspires me. GM Capitan is still one of my top 5 songs of all time. The intricacies of the music is just plain beautiful. I am sure you guys will never see this, but thank you for being a small part of my life :)
@james Doctor Oh, bold of you to assume I haven't listened to Rodan haha. I'm kidding man, I loved Rusty and Camoufleur by Gastr Del Sol is among my favorite records. Many of the names you mentioned are in my very large "To listen to" list. Although I gave The For Carnation's S/T a brief listen and it was real nice, but you need golden patience to listen to that one without feeling the urge to switch to something else, the songs really drag out in true post-rock spirit. I've seen Rachel's popping up in my recommended sometimes and yeah, it's definitely one of those bands I should listen to at some point.
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.
This interview makes me curious as to why Will Oldham wasn't in the full documentary, especially as he seems so integral to their upbringing there's definitely clips from this exact same interview in the documentary too - I wonder why they cut him out?
@@yroe12 Will Oldham took the cover photo of Spiderland. He was actually on the Tweeze cover sat in the Saab wearing a helmet. You can just about make him out. The Tweez cover photo was taken by Joe Oldham
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".
well, the people in this interview only make up half the band. the guy with the glasses and the khakis is britt walford (the drummer). the guy with the blue jacket is todd brashear (the bassist), and the other guy i believe is will oldham, a close friend of the band. david pajo and brian mcmahan are the two members not in this interview, both of whom played guitar.
It’s a closed community that is kind of afraid of outsiders. My grandparents live there. I wouldn’t suggest trying to get in there because they call the cops if they don’t recognize you.
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.
@@allisonwalford6072 We all hope he's keeping well! He appears so detached (and slightly depressed) throughout the documentary, has he always been like that?
Jack is correct. Why would it be anywhere but in/near Louisville, where they all lived as children. They weren't stealing cars, they were making some of the best music I never heard until a few years ago from a time when I absolutely should have heard it. Just saying.

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.
I'd maybe not say depressed, but definitely weird, eerie. Like there's something just a bit off about it.
I honestly think it's because of no background music, and they also seem pretty calm when talking
Yeah, the guitarist David Pajo did have a suicide attempt a few years back too. Thankfully it seems he’s doing much better
You right, man. Slight unsettling spooky vibe.
Yeah there’s just something empty feeling about the whole thing. Like they don’t even remember much and they’re just like yeah. It’s just so strange like a weird little record trapped in time that they almost don’t even recall.
Love Todd's voice. He makes me feel better about my thick Southern accent

Something about this band always makes me depressed for some reason but i love it
@@no.mans.guy. I kind of disagree. they were sweet kids and they all seem to be doing well these days
This should have been the final scene in the documentary.
Dude, that would have been a great way to end it.

Where’s Pajo at? It’s too bad he wasn’t there.
@@roberthart2273 possible he was out touring with another band, he's remained pretty busy since slint ended

You said what I had in my mind...only, they were a big part of my life.
Definitely a great "headphone" band, like Pink Floyd.
This video is so relaxing. they’re all so laid back and chill haha
These people are making my teenagehood with their music, thanks a lot!
And Don Caballero
Bro, Don Cab is probably my favorite band of all time haha
@@BrunoOfCanada 😂 me too
@m c Polvo is so fun. I'm trying to get more familiar with Shellac

Britt has the face of Paul Dano and the voice of David Lynch
This is awesome! I LOVE Breadcrumb Trail!!!
And yes, I did wonder why Oldham wasn't in the final cut of the movie.
wow that water was crisp sounding
read this comment, high expectations were set,
heard crispness of the water, high expectations were met
I went swimming in the quarry a few years ago.
“before-he got in the quarry” 0:33 don’t know why but I replayed him saying that like 10 times it just rhymes really nicely lol
Lol
01:32 just the irony of being jailed for trespassing on earth day

00:45 the way Britt smiles tells me that Brian made up that story just to mess with Todd' head... ahahahah
I love them
I love them too, brotha 🔥
This interview makes me curious as to why Will Oldham wasn't in the full documentary, especially as he seems so integral to their upbringing
there's definitely clips from this exact same interview in the documentary too - I wonder why they cut him out?
he was in the version I saw? they mentioned he was a couple years younger and I believe was also the photographer of the Tweez cover

@@yroe12will is the same age as Britt and Brian I’m pretty sure. Will has an older brother though
Listening to Britt reminds me of J Mascis
I love their accents
as a person from ky, britt does not look like he’s from ky but he is
This band is so underrated, it's depressing.

+We Muse Aloud wait a sec when did anyone from Radiohead mention Slint as an influence ?
Uhhh.. no? Maybe underappreciated.
No they're not
No, Papa M are underrated.
Who knew a group of bumpkins would make one of the best post rock albums of all time.
Bumpkins? I hardly think of people in Louisville KY as bumpkins.
Crocs? Oh, Will...
intro was beautiful
Greatest. Then I listen to the Ohio River Boat Song. Which made my marriage.
Slint/Bonnie 'Prince' Billy split 7"
What happened to the fourth guy, again?
well, the people in this interview only make up half the band. the guy with the glasses and the khakis is britt walford (the drummer). the guy with the blue jacket is todd brashear (the bassist), and the other guy i believe is will oldham, a close friend of the band. david pajo and brian mcmahan are the two members not in this interview, both of whom played guitar.
Brian also did the main vocals
Yes, Will Oldham is the guy with the beard. He's also the one who took the photo that became the album cover.
Everyone in this thread is so shit at describing things lol... there are two guys with glasses, two guys with beards and two guys in blue jackets
The bearded one with the strongest accent is Todd.
Where is the quarry? Can you find it on google maps?
Scott Raynor you could probably google Quarry Bluff Estates
It’s a closed community that is kind of afraid of outsiders. My grandparents live there. I wouldn’t suggest trying to get in there because they call the cops if they don’t recognize you.
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.
Just eccentric! I'm his sister
@@allisonwalford6072 must've been really something growing up around the music your brother was creating
yes
@@allisonwalford6072 We all hope he's keeping well! He appears so detached (and slightly depressed) throughout the documentary, has he always been like that?
This is awesome
what kind of jacket BPB wearing? I've been looking for a good rain jacket
godbless they sure do all sound like slint fans
britt is so cool
BRITT STILL YOUNG
"earth day 1990'
Thought that was Prince Billy
It is Will Oldham
Thaïla Khampo Oh shit two worlds collide
One and the same
Will Oldham IS Bonnie Prince Billy. He put out tons of records!
wow!!
Is that Will Oldham?
yes, he took the photo thats in the spiderland cover
Brian McMahan is Paul Dano's long lost brother.
that's britt , brian has shorter hair
Does anybody know where this quarry is?
BlazingBanana. It's in Clark co. IN. Not "Cook co.". That's Chicago Il's locale. Might be Jefferrsonville, IN proper... Not sure.
Don’t go looking for it, it’s a closed community
Jack is correct. Why would it be anywhere but in/near Louisville, where they all lived as children. They weren't stealing cars, they were making some of the best music I never heard until a few years ago from a time when I absolutely should have heard it. Just saying.
It's Jeffersonville, Indiana--just over the Ohio River from Louisville, Kentucky.
Take Lakeside Quarry Drive off Upper River Road.
it's a homesteaded quarry, apparently.
"Mouth breathers"lol......
Riveting
they definitely took too many drugs
