Nick: when is this from?
91
right.
too late.
how so?
it doesn’t sound 91, it sounds much earlier.
what to you is the sound of 91?
I don’t know, there’s lots of sounds for 1991.
this just sounds earlier.
{track 4: Washer}
do you know what I constantly get the feeling about, listening to this?
what?
that it hasn’t started yet.
that this is all a preliminary…this is a soundcheck.
and then the loud bits come in.
it’s sort of interesting, but you constantly, well I constantly feel like it should lead somewhere.
the only way I can describe it is unsatisfactory, as a piece of music.
it still feels like we’re at the start.
well it’s just ended.
strange.
strange bit of music, I wouldn’t in my wildest dreams, buy that or…
it’s not unpleasant to listen to it’s just…
and then, I’ve always been opposed to talking in songs.
{reading the inlay}
‘interested female vocalists write to..’
so they want, or wanted, a girl in the band?
it should read ‘interested composers, interested arrangers please write to…’
I was at ATP a couple years a go and this dude says to me,
‘you going to see Slint?’
‘maybe, I’m not really that interested in seeing them live’
‘aha before your time yeah?’
‘yeah, I guess’
I wandered off to wherever and then realised the guy was, if not the same age as me, then younger. Making him around 9 years old when Spiderland came out.
