Silkworm (band) Albums
The domestic silk moth (''Bombyx mori''), is an insect from the moth family Bombycidae. It is the closest relative of ''Bombyx mandarina'', the wild silk moth. The silkworm is the larva or caterpillar of a silk moth. It is an economically important insect, being a primary producer of silk. A silkworm's preferred food are white mulberry leaves, though they may eat other mulberry species and even the osage orange. Domestic silk moths are entirely dependent on humans for reproduction, as a result of millennia of selective breeding. Wild silk moths (other species of ''Bombyx'') are not as commercially viable in the production of silk. Sericulture, the practice of breeding silkworms for the production of raw silk, has been under way for at least 5,000 years in China, whence it spread to India, Korea, Nepal, Japan, and the West. The domestic silk moth was domesticated from the wild silk moth ''Bombyx mandarina'', which has a range from northern India to northern China, Korea, Ja ...

Lifestyle (album)
''Lifestyle'' is the seventh studio album by the American indie rock band Silkworm. It was released on August 8, 2000, by Touch and Go Records, their second on the label. Production The album was produced by Steve Albini, the band's longtime producer (although he had only mixed Silkworm's previous album). Critical reception ''Exclaim!'' wrote: "You can dig 'Treat the New Guy Right' and 'YR Web' for being the appropriate ratio of ride in the drums, propagation of the bass, twinkling keys, alternately chiming and grinding guitars, and the worldly wise lyrics." Eric Weisbard, in ''The Village Voice'', wrote: "Silkworm wouldn’t relish the comparison, but ''Lifestyle'' reminds me of Pearl Jam’s underappreciated ''Yield''—rock made to honor a band’s sense of their own standards." The ''Chicago Reader'' wrote that "Neil Young's slow-burn lyricism is still a big influence--that's especially evident in the wrenching guitar solo that opens 'That's Entertainment'—but these guys ha ...
