IN A WORLD OF SWARMING FLIES: I got to play the entirety of Silkworm’s Firewater for the second time tonight, and it’s changed some long held song opinions for me. Side 4 is a real dark horse! But here’s Wet Firecracker, the single, done not so great. It’s practice!

I never thought I’d see this band play these songs again. Silkworm in Philadelphia. They opened with Couldn’t You Wait and it was overwhelming. It’s like when Gandalf comes back in Lord of the Rings, to get incredibly nerdy.

THE NEXT CLASSIC ROCK APPRECIATION SOCIETY PROJECT: It’s the 30th anniversary of Silkworm’s Firewater LP, and I’m going to play the whole thing with the help of my dad and his old buddy Randy on the drums. Self indulgence? Sure. First practice was tonight, and here’s some of the first song, Nerves.

That whole EP is perfect. But that song, man. I saw you guys play in Brooklyn when it was new and I was standing next to a woman I didn’t know who was legit crying during this song. This song, the crying woman, the phrase Goddamn World—I can’t say what it means, but it’s stuck right in me since.

This is the least of the things as our reign of terror era dawns, but that the heads of Apple and Amazon spent the evening after Trump’s fascists murdered American hero Alex Pretti chomping popcorn at the white house fills me with white hot anger. I will never give either company another dime.

Government work, when it works at all, is by nature collaborative and never the work of one person.

Personally, I kinda like that Tarantino is willing to express his weird unjustifiable strong movie opinions publicly. It’s just an opinion. We all know Paul Dano was good in TWBB. But not as good as he was in Prisoners. If you wanna criticize Dano, The Girl Next Door is RIGHT THERE.

GOOD ALBUMS OF 2025: Nation of Language have been the reigning best 80s band that’s actually from the 2020s for the whole post-pandemic world, and they’re not giving up the crown with their Sub Pop debut “Dance Called Memory.” I just think it’s a crime that “In Your Head” is buried at Track 9.

#10 I can do the same thing for their absolute lowest rated album, 1981’s Renegade, which is totally salvageable if you rummage through the singles and outtakes. But this is enough Thin Lizzy’s for one night.

000

Endless Records @endlessrecords.bsky.social · 11/11/2025

#9 Track 11: Sugar Blues. Back to a similar choogle as the title track to close out the album. Just say no, Phil! (He didn’t). Snowy White is pretty great in this. This is such a better closer than Hey You it’s ridiculous. And there you have it, I made Thin Lizzy’s 2nd worst-rated record great.

000

Endless Records @endlessrecords.bsky.social · 11/11/2025

#8 Track 9: It’s Going Wrong. An outtake. Poppy, with a great solo. Genocide replaced it on the released version. That’s a good song and all, but I like the lightness of this original running order. Track 10: The Story of My Life. Another unfinished one, had the makings of a great Phil confessional.

000

Endless Records @endlessrecords.bsky.social · 11/11/2025

#7 Track 7: Having a Good Time. Great Side Two opener, in it’s proper slot in the actual LP. This song is underrated, I think School of Rock era Jack Black played it in his trailer every morning to get in character. Hit me with that drum! Track 8: Sweetheart. Another newwave rocker, belongs on the B

010

Endless Records @endlessrecords.bsky.social · 11/11/2025

#6 Track 6: Hey You. The faux reggae intro demonstrates Phil Lynott was keeping up with the young punks. He definitely heard the Clash and early Elvis Costello. The meat of the tune is more trad rock, but it’s at least as good as BTO’s Hey You, which ain’t bad. And that’s the end of Side One.

000

Endless Records @endlessrecords.bsky.social · 11/11/2025

#5 Track 5: Killer On The Loose. A nice thematic follow up to the last one. Punky and brash, this is like if the Stones Shattered were good. The treated vocals on the Jack the Ripper spoken word bridge make this a strong contender for a Halloween mix. Sure it’s the 2nd track with laughter, so what?

000

Endless Records @endlessrecords.bsky.social · 11/11/2025

#4 Track 3: Didn’t I. What a great ballad. It gets lost on side two, but batting third it blooms like the harmonized guitar riff in the middle. Track 4: Don’t Play Around. This was a B-Side, a rocker with a new wave flavor, kicks up the excitement again before we peak with the next one.

000

Endless Records @endlessrecords.bsky.social · 11/11/2025

#3 Track 1: Chinatown. Of course this LP should start with this. What a monster riff at the beginning. I play this one in the second set of my show, it’s the most difficult one, peak butt rock, feels indestructible when you get it right. Track 2: We Will Be Strong. The actual opener is better here

000

Endless Records @endlessrecords.bsky.social · 11/11/2025

#2 record, Black Rose (which to these ears is Sarah and some other songs). The real problem with Chinatown is the sequencing isn’t great and they left off two songs that should’ve been on. Wikipedia goes into the initial proposed tracklist, and it makes a good record great. Here it follows. Side A
