Just dropping a line to let any lurking Slint fans know that a group of musicians in Boston will be performing "Spiderland" in its entirety in October. Deets can be found here: http://www.cultofpointbreak.org/news.html

If anyone happens to know what sort of gear the boys were using when they recorded the record, we'd love to know.

Best,

Shawn

I wish I could move back to MA now!

The Slint legacy is still strong in that area, I'm sure it will be a big draw!

Good luck,

Chet

A group of musicians from Louisville will be performing it in its entirety in December too.

The DOD American Metal pedal is mandatory. A Tele W/ Kahler and a squire Strat (also w/ kahler?) , I think.

Tama Superstar drums 13, 14 18, 24....

Bass? Some Aria Pro looking J/P potato thing.
Spectra amps? Peavy, Spectra, and Sunn cabs.

Hey, that was a long time ago...

Unless I am missing something, the sponsors of this show seem to have a pretty good sense of humor. A "Tweez"-style photo of a DeLorean. Wtf?

Anyway, this photo might help solve some more equipment mysteries.

again i'm left kicking myself for not going to school in boston when i had TWO chances. didn't go to BU b/c of cost - went to vermont - didn't transfer to emerson b/c they wouldn't take my credits.

now i've spent 3 years rotting in PA. what the fuck is there to do here.

I left Emerson after 2 years but stayed in Boston for 4 more. Emerson was fun and all but you're not missing much. Except for the fact that it was 2/3 women and 1/3 of that 1/3 of guys were gay so as a straight guy you win. But it's warped because real life doesn't give you odds like that.

Who are the musicians in Louisville doing this? Anyone we know?

I'll think be making the drive for that.
