Driving to Ann Arbor to see Silver Jews this weekend!!!

Though not for everyone, this is one of my favorite bands. Its actually (for those who don't know) just one guy, David Berman. He makes home recordings and has not toured in the 15 years he has put out music - so I am beyond excited. Though the breed of music is an aquired taste, once you aquire it, you will wanna taste it all the fucking time. He has a sort of drunken, bittersweet, "noticing the beauty in the mundane" kind of outlook. He also writes poetry, and has a awesome book out called "Actual Air" that I have two copies of, just to be safe.




Here are some amusing videos. Check 'em out if you wish.

*[fun fucking fact: I believe the first blog entry I ever made contains a David Berman excerpt.]



"Punks in the Beerlight" (new) (warning: weird as hell)
"Rebel Jew" (warning: awesome)
"Slow Education" (warning: probably good too)
"New Orleans" (warning: not sure)
