I’ve posted about the ramblings of Silver Jews’ frontman, David Berman, before and I thought this recent Pitchfork interview might be interesting for people to read as well. It’s full of typical Berman nuggets like the following:
On his future wife:
“I had seen a picture of Cassie in Melody Maker. She was playing bass with M somewhere in Europe. I really got a heavy feeling looking at the picture. There’s probably a German word for it.”
On food:
“Right now, I’m always thinking about this place on Gallatin. Eastside Fish. They have a sign says the ‘crunkest fish in town.’ The crust is fuckin’ out of control.”
On AIM:
Berman: My arguments against AIM:1. It’s gay.
2. You got a lot of stuff already.
3. The finish line was July 31.
just want to remind you of the post you had in Jan 2003, Bush declares a National Sanctity of Life Day
Yes. It seems we could use more of those, these days. Although, as the Manic Street Preachers say, “Ifwhiteamericatoldthetruthforonedayitsworldwouldfallapart.” Or something like that. The events of the last few days have hopefully been some kind of wake up call to Americans, and by proxy, to their elected officials. We are perhaps not ready for a full day of truth yet, but getting closer, I hope.
