after the Silkworm reunion shows, decided to make a primer YouTube playlist, can't include all their great songs but this gives you a good idea of what they were about

Even if mostly honored in the breach, the cultural stigma Gen X attached to selling out was a good thing and should be restored. A culture where people are emboldened to admit I BELIEVE IN NOTHING & WILL DO ANYTHING FOR MONEY is inestimably worse than one where people even pretend to have ethics.

The kids are all right, but I think they need to know how great a song this is: www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSsW...

Whenever You Might Think It’s Over: Silkworm in Chicago 9/23/25 to 9/25/25 I saw the band Silkworm live in Chicago, Illinois. Three times, in fact. The first three shows of the group’s mini-tour from The Windy City to Tolono, Illinois (that’s Champaign-Urbana, effectively…

It’s with immense sadness that I’m writing to tell you Keith passed away peacefully yesterday at 2.06pm at The Prince and Princess of Wales Hospice in Glasgow. In a 28 year partnership he changed my life immeasurably and together we took our work in directions and to places few people are lucky enough to explore. I am forever grateful for everything he bestowed on me, both as a partner in music and as a friend. Keith’s intensity and passion for life, for music, for creativity and for positive change simply never let up. He was formidable. His belief in people and the idea that standing together, that our collective strength is powerful was unwavering. I loved him for that. My thoughts are with Keith’s family and friends. Thank you to them and the extended group who have tirelessly supported Keith and each other in the last few months. Thank you to the staff at The Hospice who made this last while as good as it possibly could be. Keith left us far too soon. He will go now to travel those space-ways but I know his energy remains in every one of us who had the privilege of knowing him. I love you forever Keith. “All things pass, into the night…”

It grieves me beyond words to share the sad news that, after some months of suffering from glioblastoma, #JDTwitch of @optimo-espacio.bsky.social has passed. His #Optimo partner JD Wilkes has posted this message on their Instagram account.

This is a very specific reference but Jazz Hampton is an amazing A+ name and sounds exactly like the name of a writer for The Source magazine in 1991.

I'm still wrestling with this. I've seen some things I don't know that most people can handle.

Dan Patch was not just a horse, but the most famous athlete in the world in 1906. He was never defeated in open competition and his harness record stood for 30 years. Oh and there was also a railway line named after him. And a movie. And a boat. And a bowling alley. And more things I can't remember

Interesting. Tbh I've always kept a large distance between myself and 78s, I have several risk factors for collecting them and it seems like a bridge too far.

Listening to the Gordon Jenkins album is fascinating, also I'll probably never listen to this again.
