(Just back from vacation. It was hot there.)

Meant to say thanks for all the Slint feedback. The Searcy comment was
interesting to me. Most (all?) of his post-Squirrel Bait output,
including his one-time Mammoth Records band Big Wheel, was
uncomfortably in the "power-pop" vein. Like, awkwardly so. And that's
not a knock on power pop--I liked him as a sort of counterpoint to
what went on musically in Squirrel Bait but without those people he
just seemed kinda normal, I guess. Kinda like he was still looking for
the right skin to wear after his early-years punk screaming.
