Hard to book, hard to get, hard to sign. Did anyone want to punch that ticket? Yes, in fact. Some did! I ve often said (only when asked, mind you) that Silkworm didn t have limited appeal as much as we had a limited audience. Within that audience ¦more or less unlimited appeal. Rabid fans. Which, as insular as we were, was nevertheless a source of great sustenance to us at a particularly scrubby time.I spent several years mostly lurking on the old SKWM message board, and then around 2004 when most of the regulars decamped here, I followed. I've been mostly lurking ever since. I'm not surprised that this band still means as much (albeit something quite different, of course) to me now as they did back then -- it was always pretty obvious that they were timeless -- but I am thankful.Beyond stoked for this reissue. And the "remixed" cover art is beautiful.
