Lost Album: Silkworm "Lifestyle"

Art Work by Hiroshi Kimura

1: Contempt (listen to the words in this song- "that american seems so strange, his face it wears a rictus of pain, and his villa is large, he hired Fritz Lang.. If I read Homer I wouldn't be bored, that American thinks he's a God, what's wrong with a technicolor world?" the chorus- "contempt, keep away from me, I'll keep away from you", opens crazy huge drum sound. neil young chords. awesome vocal track)
2: Slave Wages (feel good, realistic lyrics, dino jr gt riffs)
3: Treat the New Guy Right (awesome song, singalong double vocal chorus)
4: Plain (song about growin up in Montana, and sounds like 'In the West')
5: Roots (such a great acoustic tune, profound lyrics)
6: Yr Web (awesome)
7: That's Entertainment (this is my favorite song on the album, the best song that never made it on "Firewater", the brother song to "Slow Hands", the words are some of my favs, beautiful harmonies, "thats entertainment, never in our lives have we been so entertained, I know you're for me, I know you're foreign", some of Andy Cohen's best guitar soloin, Fucking-Great-Guitar-PLaying!)
8: Raging Bull (awesome mini-song)
9: Around the Outline (bizarre words and melody, like early worm)
10: Dead Air (awesome)
11: ooh lah lah (Faces cover)
12: The Bones (Tim's Best acoustic song, open C tuning, song about life, positivity, great electric gt- piano,-acoustic arrangement, "You're gonna live a long time before you go" ends this excellent but understated album)
