I love Slint, Tortoise, Red Krayola, and the Sea and the Cake (though that seems strangely out of place to me on this list). I'm not sure what the deal is with Evergreen, I downloaded their self titled album which was really good. I also have a record that appears to be another self-titled album but it sounds very different, it's pretty much emo. Not sure what happened there.
Yeah, I'm itching to get to The Sea and Cake (wrongly listed as The Sea and the Cake on the handwritten geneaology on post #1) because I love that band. The fact that so many different sounding bands are related is one reason that it's fun for me to put all these reviews together here.
RE Evergreen - there are apparently several bands out there with that name so it gets confusing. I plan on reviewing that self-titled album one of these days. For reference it is the one with this cover:

and for more trivial fun: this Evergreen album was recorded and produced by none other than James Murphy (LCD Soundsystem). Strange relationships abound in the Squirrel Bait family.
