I'm going to have to revise my previous statement and call it a tie between "Then Slowly Turn" and "Be First!" off Customs.

i've always loved his/their music. one of the best things to ever come out of seattle, imo. first heard joel on libertine, and though i didn't follow silkworm after that i later shared office space with pacifico, which got me in touch with the downer trio records.

are customs and inland empires available anywhere? finding this thread has me jonesing to complete my collection.

Where is Joel anyway? What's he up to?

Did he move to Canuckistan or did I imagine it?

"at el paso"

Last I heard he'd successfully moved to Canada and was about to get/had just gotten married? It's been four years now, right? Aren't we due another Downer Trio record? I think we are.

Jebus, Chris. You win the Internet.

I am certain every Joel Phelps Bside is available on SoulSeek.

This thread, it is great. Thank you Chris.

The Tom T. Hall comp shouldn't be too hard to find used as Sire distributed it. JRLP's contribution is also available on the B side of the "Alita Aleta" single that came out around the same time as the Downer Trio EP (different version than on 3).

Is Tim Cook (of Moneyshot) not on this forum? I would have figured he'd have made the jump after the Silkworm board closed.
