I have loved this song for a long time but only Googled "Middle Harbor Road" the other day. It is literally in the gap between downtown Oakland and the water (San Francisco Bay). The More You Know!
Due to an ink splodge on the back of the original artwork, the song "Silence Kid" has become erroneously known as "Silence Kit". This misnomer persisted when designer Mark Ohe printed it onto the back of the reissue Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain: LA's Desert Origins, despite the interior artwork showing the correct name in print several times, including written in Stephen Malkmus' own handwriting. Since its original naming, however, it appears the band also refers to the song as "Silence Kit" in set listings, too.
