And to think that I wanted to write to thank you for everything, and in particular for this wonderful interview on 'Fake Italian', which is my favorite interview. RIP. I miss you a lot.

    The world seems like an emptier place knowing that he's gone. I didn't know Steve really well, but I spent five days at his house in Chicago long ago to record, and I have to say he was kind and generous. His perceived public persona was often at odds with the real person. He was kind enough to take the time to teach me about various microphones, their placement and how to maintain a tape machine. That unsolicited knowledge has helped me a lot through the years His enthusiasm for music and good food was infectious. Condolences to family and friends.

    Ifihadahifi and Fake Limbs opened for Belinni in Chicago, Agostino needs to borrow at guitar amp and decides he would like to borrow mine over Bryan's from FL. I have a old Traynor so it is close to what Agostino normally plays. Of course 5-6 songs in the amp blows, I am right in the front row hoping to deal with the issue. But "the amp she is not so swell, she, she needs a rest" as Bryan and I get his amp ready to go for the next few songs Agostino says to me
    "when you get home maybe you should find yourself a new amp.... a good one"
    I of course erupt in laughter having realized what just happened.

    _That's one Spicy Meataballa! The Meataballa, she's so sweet, yet through no fault of her own, she is made from all the garbage parts of the cow- But because she is made from the most vile parts of the animal, she is somehow more sweet. Making the spiciness of the Meataballa more complex and beautiful. And though she is created from the foulest of the beef lips and peckers, her composition is that much more unique- Giving the spice room to be experienced on another level. The Meatballa, she is such a captivating balla. So round, yet also so bumpy; Resulting in a beef orb that is both captivating and deliciouso- Then there is the gravy... To describe her in words would be an insult to her!_

    I like the points he brings up at the end of the video- fake accents really can make mundane things more interesting to talk about, etc. Granted, his Italian accent isn't the best, but that's not really the focus of the video (or that part of the Silkworm documentary for that matter). When you get down to it, It's all just for fun.
