I want to see Boston cover 'Spiderland' and see Slint do a version of 'More Than A Feeling'.

Britt played Tama Rock Stars. They were badass. I still have my highschool year book with a picture of him sitting behind his drums, and a sign on them that says "touch these and DIE".

Nah, I was about 16 when it came out, and Britt was three years ahead of me in high school.

Did anyone go to this last night? I watched the game at home instead of hauling my ass there.

A group of musicians will be playing tracks from the spiderland and tweez albums in February. In the UK (camber sands), its at some festival called ATP or something.

I'd say they were probably about 11 that album was terrible, a classic example of young, self absorbed teenagers trying way too hard.
However, Spiderland is my favorite album of all time, and changed my whole outlook on music forever. I can't listen to it too much, because it makes all my other music seem so average.

Strange you feel that way...Tweeze is on my all-time top 5 list of records. I don't know how many times I have listened to it end on end, studying the drum parts in particular. That album had a major influence on me learning to play the drums.
As for Spiderland, it is great as well, but it lacked the raw energy of the '11 year olds' trying as hard as they could. Tweeze had much more personality and originality, and the self-absorbed teenager attitude is what made it so great.
