Of course you have.

Apparently Lance Bangs is making a documentary about the band and Spiderland. I'm pretty keen to see how that turns out.

Love "Spiderland", a masterpiece of mood and texture.

Love Slint. When my dad moved to Kentucky, one of the first places I went was the Utica Quarry (actually in Indiana) where Will Oldham shot the cover of "Spiderland".

Haha...

Spiderland is a classic. One of the first records I loved that everyone else I knew hated. A douchebag was born.

I've got one of the snapshots of the band Oldham took on the covershoot that day. Lets be thankful they chose the album cover they did.
One of my favourite records growing up. Haven't heard it in years.

That looks fucking rad, where is the picture from SNC? Is there a link or snything? Please update when you find out more. I'm am so up for that.. My original spider land is a bit worn, and a glorious reissue is no better excuse to get another.

No date yet, just that it's currently in production. Got it from a friend out in Chicago.

Hopefully, with such a limited run, we get plenty of warning with this. I've listened to this a few times and always almost buy the LP when I see it, but haven't pulled the trigger just yet, which looks like a good thing now!

Forward by Will Oldham...yes, please!

Though now I'm wondering if that record needs remastering?
I always thought it sounded perfect.

Well, that's cool. Too bad I don't have $150 to blow on it. Ah, well, I imagine there'll be rips of the exclusive content eventually.
