RIP David Berman (top) of Silver Jews and Purple Mountains (above).
A singular poet, songwriter and cartoonist, a true eccentric of the American indie scene.
David Berman (Silver Jews, Purple Mountains) Dead at 52 (Pitchfork)
Meanwhile…
If you’re a David Berman man living in Dublin, there’s a grimy framed photo of him just inside the door of @whelanslive on Wexford Street, just to the left. The Silver Jews played there on May 16th 2008. A beautiful show. Pop in and pay your respects if you’re walking that way. X
