"Boy wants a car from his DadDad says, first you gotta cut that hair.Boy says, "hey Dad Jesus had long hair"and Dad saysthat's right son, Jesus walked everywhere."
from "the frontier index" (I think) was the first Silver Jews track I heard and that's still one of my favouritest lyrics.

this rainy weekend seems like a perfect time for the natural bridge.

Had a feeling this was coming. I'm glad you've made a decision you're happy with DCB. Hope you get to punch your dad in the face some day.

When I saw his note I wanted to say - the joy that his music and writing have brought me outweighs any harm his father may have caused me. Because it's true, though I suppose in the scheme of things I'm probably a special case. I haven't had a minimum wage job since before 1997. All you can hope for is that he finds some peace and happiness in whatever he does next I guess.

i think im coming off as a dick here so i apologize, but i must have missed something
― BIGrack HOOSein Obama (k3vin k.), Saturday, 24 January 2009 02:44 (seventeen years ago)
no, you're not coming off as a dick, but it's just that there are links here to things about Berman's dad being a douche lobbyist behind fronts that oppose union rights, minimum wage laws, obesity awareness etc. so dude is saying that David has had more of a positive impact than his douchey dad's possible impact. There's not much more to get there?
― Women can be captains too, you know? (jim), Saturday, 24 January 2009 02:48 (seventeen years ago)
more of a positive impact to him.

So, do any of y'all have tickets to this thing in McMinnville, TN?

My friend Rachel's going. I expect she'll be taking pictures.

This really makes me hate myself for not going to see him when he was in the area.

I was trying to fenagle an extra ticket for a friend and it's like...tickets just don't exist.

did malkmus show up for "wild kindness" or anything?
― kamerad, Sunday, 1 February 2009 04:28 (seventeen years ago)
Dude from American Songwriter magazine (who posted the pic) said this on twitter: "Just saw Silver Jews' final show in a deep cave. in crowd: Dan Deacon and Animal Collective fellows, Bradford Cox, S. Malkmus, B. Bare Jr."
― Johnny Fever, Sunday, 1 February 2009 04:41 (seventeen years ago)
"uh huh, i was at the final show. the audience was amazing"
― schlump, Sunday, 1 February 2009 05:08 (seventeen years ago)
Yeah, that is weird now that I think about it. : /
― Johnny Fever, Sunday, 1 February 2009 05:09 (seventeen years ago)
i bet it was super, but they're kind of a weird band to see live i think. what you get from the records isn't at all present from hearing it live. they have that great velvetsy guitar player but it sounds kinda heavy and thick. the dynamics should be like a james brown strings song or something, with his voice big and booming.
― schlump, Sunday, 1 February 2009 05:40 (seventeen years ago)
i mean whatever about the crowd. i was just wondering if malkmus jammed with berman one last time. some of both their finest moments are on american water
― kamerad, Sunday, 1 February 2009 05:40 (seventeen years ago)
berman's, definitely

Tanglewood Numbers is actually my favorite Joos record, but I'm way in the minority there.

love this album - less of the sad sack aspect more reveling in absurdity - prob for the hardcore they demand the heavy depressio tho

Oh my god, I went to Rock City when I was a kid and lived in Lookout Mountain...is that where they did their final show?
