Just wanted to clarify that while the yelling between songs and general wise-cracking banter seemed disrespectful, it’s an old Louisville show tradition. Friends going to see other friends play, with a touch of keeping things in perspective as well as bringing some spirit to the show. As they were playing their hometown, it was a kind of handshake and a “welcome back” from a crowd of long-time friends.

The yelling *during* the songs, that I couldn’t stand and can’t explain -may have been some overzealous fans, but I think some people might have been getting caught up in the between-song banter and were confusing the point.

It’s important to me that people get the explanation because the Louisville fans were, save a few confused exceptions, showing their deep respect, in a way Slint would absolutley understand.

Again, great blog.
