I believe it was displayed on the wall of a pizza parlor as a decoration (painted pink?) and the band purchased it then and there. @timmidyett.bsky.social can confirm!

I'm so looking forward to this album. Everything by Mint Mile is fantastic. It was tough to read how this was one of the final things Steve Albini worked on.

If you enjoyed my writing about the Chicago Silkworm shows, you may want to read another one from Jacob Simons (Moon Orchids). It’s quite good!!

START-TRACK AT SHOW: Silkworm wsg. Gotobeds, Dianogah - September 24–25, 2025

"I have been a feverish fan of Silkworm since I was 22 years old. In my late teens and early twenties, when I first began playing the electric guitar and bass guitar in local punk bands..."

Neither being spent from a week on tour nor starting my Yom Kippur fast could keep me from missing my last chance to see polymath rock duo Memorials on their first US tour. As someone who can barely play one instrument at the same time, it was incredible to watch them play. West coast go see ‘em!

I have so much to say about my goofy journey to see Silkworm four nights in a row last week that I maybe regret not having a newsletter so I could report on it all like @huckelberry.bsky.social did.
