Nothing cover Silver Jews

A few days ago, we lost David Berman, and Philly shoegaze act Nothing were compelled to cover a classic Silver Jews track as a tribute.  Check out their take on "We Are Real" below.

RIP David Berman

Late last night, i saw that David Berman, the former front man of Silver Jews, had passed away at the age of 52.  He was a stellar songwriter, both with Silver Jews and his current Purple Mountains project, and by all accounts was also a great human being.  RIP David Berman.

"On the last day of your life, don't forget to die."

Purple Mountains

It's been a hot minute since we last heard from David Berman.  The former Silver Jews member is now fronting a project called Purple Mountains.  Listen to the alt-country and Spaghetti Western tinged "Margaritas at the Mall" below and get the self-titled debut here from Drag City.
