I saw them do this song in San Francisco in 2005 and the crowd seemed pretty familiar.

so did the crowd know the song? i love silver jews...piano is a nice addition....

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...

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.

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

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...

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 will fight the asshole that would dare sully john darnielles good name.

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