Yeah but unlike dave john can remember the melodies for his songs and even for other people's songs. Silver Jews are awesome but seeing them live is like seeing a really bad cover band.
Ha no worries. I'm just one of those people that gets so used to the way a song sounds on a record when people do a LOT of improv and play with the melody it gets on my nerves. Stupid I know but it's just one of those things...
I love Mountain Goats and I love Silver Jews, but I don't think they combine well, like Cheese and Candy, or Ketamine or Beer, or Sunday Lunch and Masturbating...
Fucking great cover. I love how Darnielle makes the song his own - you can tell by the lyrics is a Silver Jews song, but John puts his own touch on it. Great stuff.
oh yeah - fuck shit. that's just gross - why would you fuck shit? I mean... really. I hope you wear a condome when you do it.
amen to that! the way they turn this dark meditation into a hilarious adrenaline rush is genius. i probably listen to the silver jews more hours of the day than any other person alive, and i don't think that's an exaggeration. and I never thought I'd see a jews cover this good. search "rebel jew" if you really want to see david berman in action. and watch my stuff too.
I saw them do this song in San Francisco in 2005 and the crowd seemed pretty familiar.

All the chords are wrong! I guess it's official, I like Berman more than Darnielle. It took this to really drive it home.

Haha man, don't tell me that! I'm seeing them next Friday. I mean, even seeing him wobble around the stage should be worth the 20 bucks.

This is a badass song, this is a badass cover, and I cannot believe the audacity of anyone who'd say otherwise.

Brilliant cover. John is one of the only ones worthy of covering a Silver Jews song.
