Staff Last modified: Monday, May 05, 2014 Who was Slint? “Teenagers who thought about music differently than other people did,” is one fan’s simple description of the game-changing quartet from Louisville, Ky. The band only made two enigmatic records in the late ’80s and broke up before the second one, “Spiderland,” was released; their legend started growing immediately. As the years passed, the love for that strange, intense, abstract “rock” record seemed to grow exponentially.
