Went to see the Silver Jews tonight. I am keenly looking forward to the new album having heard much of it this evening.

Never heard of 'em. What's their style?

@ ABoyNamedArt : Nashville band with idiosyncratically intricate lyricism. From wikipedia:

"American indie rock group, formed in 1989 by writer David Berman along with Pavement's Stephen Malkmus and Bob Nastanovich. Sometimes regarded as a Pavement side project (Pavement drummer Steve West has also been a member of the band), in fact "The Joos" were formed before Pavement, and 1996's The Natural Bridge featured none of the Pavement musicians, offering listeners a more sedate album without the inimitable influence of Stephen Malkmus' guitar and vocals. Silver Jews were always a conduit for David Berman's brand of sardonic, countrified indie rock, and Berman has remained the only constant member."

and with you in the front row at the silver jews show
and you act like you didn't notice, my fear of the bear
at showbiz pizza when i saw six was overwhelming and not dissimilar to this

@ Sarah Les Pantyhose: It's no big deal, I don't mind waiting, I'll pick it up sooner or later. I probably wouldn't have listened to it for a while anyway. It mostly takes me a while to get round to stuff. I have a stack of probably 30 odd CD's I haven't listened to already. Plus I got a pleasant t-shirt and a CD of the maniacal support act. The Silver Jews can be relied upon for dazzlingly engrossing support in my opinion.

@ Sarah Les Pantyhose : Sorry, meant to ask; "Are you a fan?"

@ Community Toy : Hmmm. Don't really know any Boards of Canada, but I may have to seek this out, perhaps on the last.fm. Thanks.

Uh, it's actually a Why? song, but Boards of Canada did a remix.

@ Community Toy : Aha. I just went with what came top on Google. If I don't forget I will look them both up.

Community Toy said, (135 days ago)

They are both cool!
