Michael Dahlquist (Silkworm) - Treat the New Guy Right

The late Michael Dahlquist of Silkworm performs an a cappella rendition of 'Treat the New Guy Right.' Very funny.

Silkworm has always been a big influence on me. I had the great fortune of meeting Michael several times out and about and one time slipped him a tape of my parody metal band Beef Magnet. I thought he would never listen to it. At the next Silkworm show they mentioned they were playing in Portland the next night and one of my friends yelled they were going to the Beef Magnet show the same night. Tim and Michael proceeded to name off some of the songs and lyrics from my crappy tape.What a cool guy

Michael was brilliant and a great guy to boot! Thanks for sharing.

This makes me a little happy!

I take it Pavement are #1?

I hate that woman that wanted to kill herself. I think we've all been depressed, that's fair to say. I don't wanna sound pretentious and say thoughts of suicide is normal but cmon, I think as a human you've entertained the idea at least once in your life even if just topically. BUT who would ever be so selfish as to try to kill random innocent people. What the hell is wrong with you? That's not suicide, that's reckless murder. IT MAKES ME SO MAD. What a selfish person Jeanette Sliwinski is.

I would also like to add that I am only 17, so there is still a younger generation of fans coming up!

This makes me sad and happy all at the same time. I discovered Silkworm about a year ago and since then they have easily become my second favorite band. I really wish I could have met Michael. It was a very sad loss.

I like this more then the CD version. Has to be because Michael is a cool enough guy to pull it off.

I haven't watched this in a while, it brought a real smile to my face. I hope this will somehow be here forever, for everybody! Thats Michael all right. Michael! Michael Dahlquist!

This is great! I can't believe this was uploaded a year ago and I haven't seen it until now. I only met Michael once but he was the sweetest fella. Really miss the guy....
