Whoa, I think they need to break up again

When Slint reunited in 2005, I was briefly excited at the possibility of seeing them again. How brief? About the time it took their Chicago show to sell out. During those five seconds it also occurred to me that I had no transportation TO Chicago. Then they did a bunch more shows in 2007, but by that point I was officially too old to rock.

And now, this: http://www.slint.com/ (click there). I have to say, I don’t much like this new musical direction they’re taking.

Wait for it…

Wait for it…

I like their old stuff better.

 

EDIT FROM THE FUTURE: Damn, they got rid of the cheesy flash intro. Now this entry makes even less sense!
