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.

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 (fifteen years ago) link
"uh huh, i was at the final show. the audience was amazing"
― schlump, Sunday, 1 February 2009 05:08 (fifteen years ago) link
Yeah, that is weird now that I think about it. : /
― Johnny Fever, Sunday, 1 February 2009 05:09 (fifteen years ago) link
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 (fifteen years ago) link
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 (fifteen years ago) link
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?

Classic for Tanglewood Numbers alone. That's the record, trust me.

when i was hungover the other day i spent a long time phasing in and out to 'the natural bridge' and i went: huh! i think every song on this album mentions rain! or even: 'the rain!' but i stopped paying attention when i had to go and vomit around track six

Does anyone remember what magazine had that harrowing profile of DB around the time of Tanglewood Numbers, the one where he told of being holed up at the hotel where Gore conceded the 2000 election and was going to kill himself?
― Iago Galdston, Friday, 2 May 2014 22:34 (ten years ago) link
That was "Dying in the Al Gore Suite," by Nick Weidenfeld, in Fader 31 (Jul/Aug 2005). Part of it can be read on Google Books here.

Was kind of surreal to hear Marc Maron talking about this stuff...
― Vaguely Threatening CAPTCHAs, Saturday, 3 May 2014 07:02 (ten years ago) link
Maron's trying to reach out to Berman via Twitter to set up an interview as he's going to Nashville in a couple weeks...doubt he'll have much luck
