yes, he seems like a genuinely nice guy! pleased to see that he seems to be back an even keel now too

What a legend, a resume to die for and just a regular guy despite it all

i spoke with him for a little while outside after a Slint reunion show several years ago, 2014 i think? talked about metal and various other things. very sweet, gracious dude. was really saddened to hear about the mental health crisis he went through not long after.
but yeah, he seems to be in a good place these days! happy for him.

He's one of those guys (like Matt Sweeney?) that seem to show up all over, which is a testament to their personalties as much as their abilities.

Speaking of Pajo and Sweeney, there's been a few good writeups lately of that slept on (imho) Zwan album with it being the 20th anniversary. It is apparently still not streaming and, if the rumors I read a long time ago are true, it's because pissbaby Corgan hates these two guys so much that he doesn't want anything to do with it anymore. Which is a shame, because these guys deserve whatever meager money they can get from having to deal with Corgan.

zwan were so outrageously good, like the unreleased/live stuff is incredibly special when you have those three guitarists onstage, and it's fucked up that the band only lasted one album and none of that shit ever got a proper release
anyway, it's possible corgan may be being a pissbaby about it but i assume that since no one knows when the machina reissue is coming out that putting mary star of the sea on streaming is extremely on the backburner (and fwiw zeitgeist is not on streaming either)

Oh yeah, you aren't wrong, I've just been freshly annoyed by how awful Corgan handled the fracture of Zwan, he was such a dick about it. No doubt Zwan is the last thing on his mind, but I just would love to see Paz, Pajo and Sweeney get some more cash and recognition for the record.
Yeah, the three times I saw them were fantastic. Never saw the Djali Zwan acoustic configuration, but used to have a bunch of boots. Thought they were much better as a full blown electric rock band anyway. Seeing them and Dead Meadow at the Metro was a killer show.

all i've heard is the Hole of Burning Alms comp, but it is quite fantastic. i believe its a comp of various singles and such.
Quoting myself from 18(!) years ago since I pulled this out for the first time in ages last night. Still fantastic!
