I'm going to see Slint because I missed them their last go around. I'm betting there will be a ton of hipsters in the audience, but they are playing all of Spiderland, so it's worth it. I've heard that they are working on new music, but don't hold your breath; if it ever sees the light of day, any new material is a long way off. If they put something else out, I think there is an excellent chance it will be better than most reunion albums; but because of the legacy that comes with their name (to most fans), no matter how good it is, it will never be the classic that Spiderland is.
