Born Slippy

Busy day today and some live mp3′s from The Slip are getting me through it…

You know — it was really hard for me to get into this band at first but I persisted. I knew I wanted to like it but it just seemed like too much of an acquired taste for me for quite a while. Just now — like the last three months — has it started to set in…

What do you guys think? The Slip — good/bad? Too indie and experimental? Too jammy and wanky? None of the above?
