I heard from Duffy of Ladyhawk today and it reminded me it's been the better part of a year since I've listened to You Read My Mind ten times in a row

The Most Distant Object is playing with Silkworm at Fitzgerald's in Berwyn on Wed May 6th. If you live in Berwyn and say "I'm from Chicago" it's totally fine. That's how close it is. Here's the group's brand new LP--Tom and Franz from C-Clamp, Jason from Dianogah.

no one was killed and the city got a billion upfront, so I guess this is actually worse than the Chicago parking meter deal

I don’t know how to express this more clearly Every time you do a war I’m against it I’m against it in all forms I’m against from All sides I’m against the careless loss of life

I picked the wrong Monday to be off socials @rosyoverdrive.com wrote some nice words about Sixtieth Parallel “Thirty Years” and added us to their playlist: rosyoverdrive.com/2026/04/06/n... & new Silkworm live: skwm.bandcamp.com/track/dont-m... From a show I attended! @timmidyett.bsky.social

Don’t freak out if you hear emergency sirens in Chicago at 10 a.m. It’s the testing that happens on the first Tuesday of the month. 🚨

Whoa we won the vietnam war, why am i only now hearing about this

it's always fun when you're watching a game like Duke/UConn as a recording and can just start it at halftime to see what the hot takes were in the studio

I listened to these records today

Maybe like one or two other albums mean as much to me, and at that point it’s just dependent on mood. Can’t imagine how it could sound better. Eager to find out.

Bought this on LP and immediately dubbed it to a tape so I could listen to it on my Walkman while staying in the woods of Northern Wisconsin with family. The only thing I remember about that summer of ‘96 is Firewater every day for two weeks and Independence Day (the movie). Formative stuff.

Life changing record for me

Gateway Silkworm

Remaster underway right now…
