Silkworm: C/D?

it's just the live thing right? i love their version of

GOIN TO ACAPULLLLCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

yeah, it's just a live show. has a pretty good vibe, they're just having fun cruising through these songs. wish there was a bit more variety (as opposed to mostly basement tapes tunes) cause i really love the version of tuesdays gone.

And all men knew it
Then God came to take you.
So I said to myself
I would bring that glass of beer.
Thus we used to do
For everyone to see.
So I brought along this beer to give you, to drink.

that dude needs to finish that documentary!

the lyrics for LR72 are pretty remarkable

love that song. such a weird song in a way but it really gets me

Bummed I missed the thread revival!

wow, thanks, on it.

bottomless pit playing at schuba's in chicago on april 19th, opening for monotonix, which seems like an unlikely pairing but whatever. thinking about making it down for this, if any chicago people wanna meet up for a minifap.

the great indie mag Puncture published a Joel R.L. Phelps profile back in the day that I remember being really heartbreaking. All about him working with disabled kids or something and then playing shows at night and no one really paying much attention.

huge fan of phelps's solo work

Weird, I was just thinking about Silkworm today! I have no idea why exactly. I never owned a record by them but saw them play in Providence once and they completely blew me away.

start at the beginning, in the west.

oh, i love yr display name!

i love you, jed_

thanks x o

I think Italian Platinum is very underrated and so is Blueblood.

cohen's solo on "The Third" off Italian Platinum is WOW

I was so excited when Italian Platinum came out, it was my favorite album they'd done since Firewater. "I Hope U Don't Survive" is right up there with "Treat the New Guy Right" as catchy Silkworm rock-out anthems.

Will anyone rep for Don't Look Back? I was pretty disappointed with it, especially after the resurgence of Italian Platinum. I've tried to go back to it a couple of times but just can't get that excited about it.

do you mean it'll be cool? i fuckin love that album.

oh yeah duh

yeah i never actually bought It'll Be Cool but this thread makes me want to, heard it a few times at a friend's house.

the Chokes EP is another sorta lost SKWM joint

Are You Dignified? is the bomb

oh man chokes is great too

there's a cohen song on it called low blow that is just amazing

for some reason I only have "Bar Ice" (which is great) off that EP, I should buy it

oh yeah Bar Ice kills

much love for "even a blind chicken..." over here

the beginning and end of it'll be cool (don't look back, insomnia, shitty little yacht, the operative) is great but the middle lost me. the guitar solo at the end of shitty little yacht is my favorite solo of andy's - just all over the place - there's almost an extended version of it on "38 souls," one of two new bottomless pit tracks posted on FB today. they both sound great!

ah shit thanks for the tip!!!!! SWEEEEEEEEEEEET!

WHAT

New Bottomless Pit will be called "Blood Under the Bridge." They are hoping for a summer release.

xp - Insomnia is killer. but yeah that album didn't stand up to the two previous, imo

wow, Chokes is awesome. Got that and Blueblood because of this thread. i don't know what the hell "you can keep that piece of Indiana lakeshore" means, but it's been in my head for days.

yeah I finally downloaded all of Chokes after the thread revival and it's really good, especially "Int'l Harbour Of Grace"

blueblood's okay. . . it's like the songs aren't quite there but the solos are. i think they are becoming a new favorite band, i also grabbed the first two songs from It'll Be Cool on emusic.

and "Bar Ice" ... I guess I'm a sucker for the Silkworm songs with female backup vox. Is it Kelly Hogan again on here?

Blueblood has "EFF" on it, right? That song slays. I like "Clean'd Me Out" a lot too.

blueblood will worm its way into yr head eventually. amazing songs on that. i am particularly down w/tonight i'm meat into ritz dance

blueblood was actually the second skwm album i bought and it helped me understand them more. firewater is so big and overwhelming at first.

tonight i'm meat is one of my favorites. empty elevator shaft---> until the end is great. i hated the first song the first few times i listened to it, but i dig it a lot now. cad, i think you're right, it's a grower.

lol i def do not know any girls who like skwm

Eff is such a late 90's Touch and Go type song

i just love love love "from inseam to hem i am a perfect gentleman." the cadence and rhyming is perfect.

(xp re: tonight i'm meat if thats unclear)

their lyrics are so weird, too. or maybe i'm just dumb. LR72, for one. and "everybody's been riding my ramp," what the hell does that even mean? i like it.

n/a is right, i wish i could solo like cohen. he's fucking amazing.

nah they're just both really, really awesome lyricists. i agree tho--no idea where they get some of their lines.
