David Berman (of Silver Jews fame) released this album, and committed suicide soon thereafter. The […]

OK, let’s get a few things out of the way first. I’m a 68-year-old white guy. I consider myself musically adventurous–for a 68-year-old white guy. Some genres just don’t appeal to me. ‘Dance pop’, whatever that is, being one of them. Rap, while represented on my list, will invariably be underrepresented. Death metal will not […]
