We are in the final stages of production but we still a need a little help. <br /><br />First of all, our website badly needs to be revamped. Any web designers who would like to help out, please let me know ASAP. I don't care if it ends up a blank page with plain text, I just need to be able to post updates and video links easily. let me know!!<br /><br />We are still looking for a few clips to include in the film: <br /><br />The first is a short clip of Matt Pinfield on 120 minutes introducing the "Wet Firecracker" video. This aired sometime before Feb 1997, when "Firewater" came out. (the copy we have is cut off at the beginning)<br /><br />Second, we are looking for any news footage covering Michael's death. More specifically, we were hoping to find an initial report of the crash (which would have aired around July 14-16, 2005) and a story on the sentencing (which would have aired November 26, 2007) with Tim Midgett being interviewed outside the court house (this happened on a few stations but I think the one we are looking for is CBS Chicago). Still, we will look at and consider ANY footage.<br /><br />If anyone can help with this stuff, please let me know here or at silkworm_documentary at yahoo dot com. <br /><br />Thanks!Silkworm Documentaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10170590707005327343noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093496979584006776.post-62011057955156343372011-06-13T13:15:00.003-05:002011-07-15T12:23:33.595-05:00Tim Midgett watched the movie and had this to say about it: <br /><br />"There’s been a Silkworm documentary in the works for the last six years.<br /><br />Saw a rough cut this weekend.<br /><br />Unbelievably accurate, both in the details and in capturing the spirit of the band. I couldn’t have done it, even if I’d had the desire or ability to do it.<br /><br />I am disoriented to be historicized. I don’t like nostalgia. I don’t commemorate things or reminisce much unless it serves as a commentary on the present somehow. I like to regard things as a continuum, you know?<br /><br />The film forces me to acknowledge the past, and it forces me to recognize a break in the line between now and back when Andy and I started making music together, as kids. Some amazing footage of Ein Heit being interviewed. Andy must be 14.<br /><br />Of course Michael’s death is always with me, but a less crushing but still very painful death was that of SKWM. Since Andy and I kept playing music together, I don’t think about that one so much. The movie forces me to think about it.<br /><br />That said…wow. I’m not sure I have ever owed anyone in my life the way I owe Seth Pomeroy about now. I barely even took any pictures, and now we have this. So flattering, but still to scale. So impeccably done using such minimal source material. It’s pitch perfect. “Oh, it would be nice if he used that one picture right here…shit, there it is.”<br /><br />Extraordinarily touched, inordinately pleased. On the verge of tears. A bit dizzy.<br /><br />Thank you Seth, Shawn, Garland, Gerard, Steve, Stephen, Jeff, Heather, Vickie, TK, Dad, Mom, a couple families worth of Browns, everyone else who is in it or talked to these guys or sent them stuff."<br /><br />full post at:<br /><a href="http://brokenfeet.wordpress.com/2011/06/13/couldnt-you-wait-the-story-of-silkworm/">TIM'S BLOG</a>Silkworm Documentaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10170590707005327343noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093496979584006776.post-75380109902064821242011-06-04T12:51:00.005-05:002011-06-04T13:36:05.968-05:00endThe movie is "done."

Garland Gallaspy, our lone crew member on the Silkworm movie, has finally garnered some national attention thanks to country singer, Martina McBride. Basically Garland runs around downtown Nashville and yells the name of her new record at strangers. In a word, brilliant.<br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/VaxRLZ7LjfQ&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/VaxRLZ7LjfQ&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/8PhMwPsP0XU&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/8PhMwPsP0XU&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br />Now that is major label loot well spent. I suggest not buying this record but if you want to scream "shine" at people in a yellow outfit, I wholeheartedly endorse that kind of behavior. <br /><br />Also, on the weirder side, here's the first in a series of internet shorts I've been working on with a very loose collective of friends. There's a song used in it very briefly that some of you may (or may not) recognize. This is my acting debut, playing the highly coveted "irritated roommate" role.

I took a break last weekend to interview Clint Conley (Mission of Burma) at the 2008 Pitchfork Music Festival. The night before, we got to see Bottomless Pit play at Schuba's with the Kadane Brothers. They were astounding. I only saw SKWM once so anytime seeing these guys play is an event for me. They have a new record available at the<a href="http://www.bottomlesspit.us"> Bottomless Pit site.</a> <br /><br />Anyway, I spent the whole night drinking and chatting with SKWM folk and left feeling very inspired about the movie<br /><br />The next morning, I met up with Garland and Shawn and headed over to the Pitchfork Festival to interview Clint. (Normally, this is where I would put a qoute or a video but it's too late in the game to give out freebies anymore. Sorry.) As soon as we finished, we ran out in to the crowd and watched Mission of Burma play their debut LP "VS" from beginning to end. I jumped around like a little girl, shouting and nodding until my neck felt like it was going to break. Very few shows have dragged this kind of behavior out of me. Needless to say, I was happy to be there. <br /><br />Now, I'm back in Nashville and there is too much work to do to keep rambling on this blog. Stay Tuned.<br /><br />-Seth<br /><br />LINKS<br /><br /><a href="http://www.missionofburma.com">Mission of Burma</a>Silkworm Documentaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10170590707005327343noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093496979584006776.post-10242340990469288392008-05-12T01:30:00.004-05:002008-05-12T01:43:25.034-05:00Editing stage oneI have begun editing the film. We still have a few interviews to do but we hope to get that wrapped up by September. I've cut about ten minutes (very roughly that is) and I feel like it's making sense. It's nice to know the film is now officialy "coming soon." <br /><br />In the process of this, I've re-discovered the 1994 SKWM Record, "In The West." You should too. I would suggest "Punch Drunk Five" at very loud levels. Also, Tim and Andy's new band, Bottomless Pit, are releasing an EP called "Congress" in the next coming months. Most of the songs can be heard at their myspace page and comedyminusone.com.<br /><br />Buy these records!Silkworm Documentaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10170590707005327343noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093496979584006776.post-40483239958641599022008-03-03T20:50:00.003-06:002008-03-04T15:01:48.118-06:00More ClipsHere's some more clips from past interviews:<br /><br />Steve Albini<br /><object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/DLhx2q9vQro"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/DLhx2q9vQro" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object><br /><br />Jeff Tweedy<br /><object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/_RDm9o_hWzQ"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/_RDm9o_hWzQ" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object><br /><br />Stephen Malkmus<br /><object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/fHkA0v5LcqM"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/fHkA0v5LcqM" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object><br /><br />Henry Owings and Brian Teasley<br /><object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/HkRae_QTNNU"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/HkRae_QTNNU" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object><br /><object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/_wCt5BPzRk0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/_wCt5BPzRk0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object><br /><br />More to come soon...Silkworm Documentaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10170590707005327343noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093496979584006776.post-41241876316211492012008-02-14T19:31:00.009-06:002008-02-28T11:44:40.360-06:00California Recap Part 3<em><br />After interviewing Eric Weisbard, we went back to the hotel and ate lunch.

I wrote this on the plane ride home:<br /><br /><em>I'm writing from the skies, on our way back to Nashville from San Francisco. This trip has been so crazy, it's hard to remember the sequence of events or even what we did with most our time. What I can do is provide an incomplete list of nonsense that was discussed or experienced by myself, Shawn, and/or Garland: Nashville is better than San Diego because we have "The Sonic" fast food chain (atleast that's what we're told), sharing a king size bed before being moved down the hall to an apartment/suite complete with digital fireplace, Fat Burger (Ice Cube lyrics don't lie!), Venice Beach = buy my Cd-R for 15 dollars, many failed attempts at appearing cool and or getting laid, rising early for free hotel breakfast(Garland is the only one who did this), Driving in rainstorms, looking for people's houses/offices in rainstorms, rocking X's "Los Angeles" (can you get any more cliche?), measuring and examining the footprints and handprints of The Marx Brothers, peeing into a bottle in the CBS Studios parking lot (I'm not telling who did this one), all the while arguing over nothing as much as possible. Of course there's more but that's not why you're reading this...<br /><br />We arrived in San Diego early last week and began the Cali interviews with Marco Collins, an old friend and fan of the band from the early days in Seattle. Marco has had a long career in radio and has always been a huge champion of the band. A helluva talker, full of passion and enthusiasm, how could we go wrong?</em><br /><br /><strong>Marco Collins on Michael Dahlquist</strong><br />"Michael was (an) out of control drummer. I remember Michael doing this thing where he wore gardening gloves and he duct taped the sticks to the gloves, so that when he played, because he played so friggin’ hard, that when he played they were still stuck to the gloves. And the genius thing about Michael too, in addition to being a great drummer, I just loved the fact that that guy sweat more than anybody I’ve ever met. He would start out in a friggin’ suit and he would end up in a pair of boxers by the end of the night and that was it. Most of time it would happen within the first song.”<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjofPzIoV-l0Undzbsm49wehx59IWWjICNKcHvyfYvvJ0hxMSiHwspdIynBvVdntfu0IF4s7q5-acS_8KZpc5IEp2dY18rczByb3cNiR4IaRhCQQaI5fVHeDPGesUmgwbvlDCdBtqd-3Y0/s1600-h/021+Michael+CU+%234.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjofPzIoV-l0Undzbsm49wehx59IWWjICNKcHvyfYvvJ0hxMSiHwspdIynBvVdntfu0IF4s7q5-acS_8KZpc5IEp2dY18rczByb3cNiR4IaRhCQQaI5fVHeDPGesUmgwbvlDCdBtqd-3Y0/s400/021+Michael+CU+%234.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5162083129902564370" /></a><em>Shortly after, fan and music writer, Dryw Keltz, showed up at the Coffee Shop we had taken hostage and gave a great interview, offering an outsider perspective on "Indie Rock" and Silkworm's place in it.</em><br /><br /><strong>Dryw Keltz on the later era of the band</strong><br />"That’s the bad thing about fans of that type of music, A lot of people are fickle with their bands. Once someone’s been around for a while it’s like, “Oh, they’re not cool anymore.” But you know, they are, they’re still cool.

We never found it, so we settled for a place called Los Angeles instead. <br /><br />The next morning, we drove out to Joel Mark's house. Joel is Vice President of A&R at MCA Records and was SKWM's booking agent from 1992-1997 as well as many other great bands from that time in music. </em><br /><br /><strong>Joel Mark on Joel, Tim, and Andy's vocals</strong><br />"All three of them are those kinds of singers, when they're in that room singing for you, they had those moments where the entire room was silent. And not just because it was basically empty but it was silent because they could just...grab you. That's amazing.

In the spirit of Christmas, I've decided to share a few of the best tracks along with some new(old) photos that I have just scanned. These links will only be valid for a few weeks, so get 'em while you can and most importantly, ENJOY!<br />(For those of you that received these CD's via internet or mail, I've included an extra track from an Andy Cohen acoustic performance on this page that was not on either of those discs.)<br /><br /><a href="http://groups.google.com/group/skwm-2/web/02+Garden+City+Blues.mp3">Garden City Blues (live at the Empty Bottle Sep.9,2000)</a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrHr-M1Ksig0nCcUDmaro_w-IJiqWyX1Pf-9q4VEF7RtoigwFt8MA1Ii6K9w6KLUl_WGcDo0Q1bguTaAs7mVqvU70vVtcT50PzikigvU5KbMihcwiu0mp7i8jsCsdNxTlD5Ekh3Ts9xkI/s1600-h/B&W+Tim+CU.jpg"><img style="display:block;

Any little thing about their personality that could irritate you would start to irritate you immensely for a little while, and then you'd get over it, something funny would happen.

These pictures really fill in a lot of gaps and have finally supplied us with many amazing photos of Joel Phelps. It's been virtually impossible to obtain live footage of him in the band, so it's nice to finally have something that can help us document this era. We shot some beautiful footage of Vickie telling stories and sifting through the pictures as well. I said "That's awesome," way too many times but I think I'm the only one who noticed it. I took a little over three hundred photos with me. <br /><br />We woke up early this morning and headed back over to Tim and Vickie's to do the Tim & Andy interview. These guys have know each other since middle school, so you can imagine, we didn't have to give them much to run with. Very honest, funny, and serious all in the same go. We had a great time. <br /><br />After grabbing lunch in Andersonville, we drove over to Jeff Tweedy's house. He was very gracious and has one bitching jukebox (We listened to a 45 of "Itchycoo Park" by The Small Faces while we set up). He said some really great things about the band and really put into perspective what it was like touring and recording in the early to mid-nineties. This interview has always been on our wish list and it's really great that we get to cross him off. Buy this man's records! <br /><br />We got two more tomorrow and then we're back home to Nashville. So far, so good.<br /><br />-Seth <br /><br />LINK EXPLOSION:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.wilcoworld.net/">Wilco</a><br /><a href="http://www.dragcity.com/bands/loosefur.html">Loose Fur</a><br /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Itchycoo_Park">The Small Faces- Itchycoo Park Wiki Article</a>Silkworm Documentaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10170590707005327343noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093496979584006776.post-72602697958474443372007-12-06T15:13:00.000-06:002007-12-08T19:41:59.545-06:00Chicago Part 1Garland and I arrived two days ago in the wonderful city of Chicago, IL.

Henry books comedians and is fond of our little puppet routine, so he got us on a three day run in Birmingham, Atlanta, and Athens. The comedians were great and every club was extremely accommodating to our antics. We had such a good time, it didn't even hit me until the car ride to Athens that there's was work to be done. <br />We got their early, walked around, looked at comics, smoked too many cigarettes and then headed to the club. On our way, we stopped inside a record store and I checked for Silkworm and found nothing, not even a card. I can't say I was surprised.<br />After doing the show, we set up in the basement of the club and interviewed Brian and Henry. Most of the questions centered around "indie rock" but their love and respect for Silkworm was very much expressed. It always amazes me how passionate people are about this band, we have yet to have an interview that is uninspired. When we first started doing this, I think we really had some doubts of whether or not we could express our understanding of Silkworm through the words of other people. After forty or so interviews, we've definitely learned that our opinion on this great band is shared by many others. And the donations that have come in have proved it even more. <br />Thanks to these generous contributors, we will begin shooting again in December. We are hoping to wrap things up by early next year but we still need a lot of money to get there. One way or another, we will get it done. <br />Stay tuned for more ramblings and updates... <br />Buy Chunklet and visit the Bottletree when you are in Birmingham!<br /><br />-Seth<br /><br />LINK CITY:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.chunklet.com">Chunket</a><br /><a href="http://www.bottletree.com">The Bottletree Cafe</a><br /><a href="http://www.myspace.com/pullthestringsplayers">The Pull The Strings Players</a><br /><a href="http://www.myspace.com/stillborntour">Still Born in the USA Comedy Tour</a><br /><br />Check out this video of Joel Phelps (ex Silkworm) performing "Pilot" from "In The West."<br /><br /><object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/IBBURE41lGI&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/IBBURE41lGI&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>Silkworm Documentaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10170590707005327343noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093496979584006776.post-35375041235380065822007-10-26T01:34:00.000-05:002007-10-26T01:58:23.974-05:00WelcomeWelcome to the official blog for the feature length documentary about the independent rock band, Silkworm.
