  • Worth checking out then? Any pointers/references? I'll pass on the eclair, but it's reminded me of elephant's feet. Not had one for years and i could murder one right now..

  • I might be responsible for Silver Jews. David Berman started the band with Stephen Malkmus as a sort of side project to Pavement, and Malkmus appears on their first few albums. Berman had a lot of personal problems (substance abuse, though I don't know the entire story), and was out of commission for a while, then released "Tanglewood Numbers" last year, which I discovered late and absolutely love. You can see the links to Pavement - similar sound and lots of literate absurdist humor. If you like that one, then "American Water" and "The Natural Bridge" are also worth hearing, though not quite as good as "Tanglewood" IMO.
