So, so sad about David Berman, RIP. :(
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:01pm
Sam Segal:

Me too, Jon. Glad you're here to celebrate him with me, though.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:02pm
Asheville Jon:

Hey Sam. Been anticipating your show ever since I heard the sad news.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:05pm
Franco Twinkie:

Sam. Thanks for the shout for Ras last week. I was listening, but had no communicator.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:09pm
melinda:

@Asheville Jon me too, hoped Sam would have something lined up.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:12pm
Asheville Jon:

before his death, I was hoping that this show was going to be a grand discussion of the Purple Mountains tour which would have been going on now.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:15pm
melinda:

I love his voice on this.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:16pm
Sam Segal:

Melinda and Franco. Thanks for being here.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:16pm
Sam Segal:

"My favorite singers couldn't sing." I think that's a Berman lyric.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:19pm
melinda:

@Sam it is. I think I first learned of him from a local DJ who was inspired by that lyric to do a show called Vocalists Who Can't Sing.
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 9:19pm
northguineahills:

Nice to hear David Berman, too bad he never played w/ David Berhman.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:23pm
Sam Segal:

Haha, NGH, that would've been fascinating. Berman could've done spoken word over Behrman.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:24pm
chresti:

Hi Horse, been listening

ChrisFarrell:

Judging by what I am seeing David Berman has passed away.. his memory will never be replaced and his music lives on
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:25pm
Sam Segal:

Very well said, Chris.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:25pm
Sam Segal:

Chresti!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:26pm
Doug Schulkind:

So glad you are doing this, Sam.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:27pm
Sam Segal:

Couldn't not, Doug. Thanks for being here to sit Shiva with us.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:30pm
Doug Schulkind:

Shiva Jews.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:33pm
melinda:

San Francisco BC is one of the best songs ever.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:34pm
Sam Segal:

Absolutely, Melinda. His absurdist narrative songs are some of my absolute favorites.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:37pm
melinda:

"Fist cuisine"
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:40pm
Sam Segal:

Ha! I was chuckling at that line specifically just now too, Melinda.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:42pm
melinda:

It sounds kind of like an effete version of tough-guy lingo
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 9:55pm
northguineahills:

Johnny Paycheck!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:55pm
Doug Schulkind:

Another great American songwriter.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:56pm
Asheville Jon:

some nice words from Drag City today
www.dragcity.com...
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:58pm
Sam Segal:

Namedropping "Ladies Home Journal" seems like something David Berman would've pulled off as brilliantly as Johnny Paycheck did.
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 10:00pm
northguineahills:

Sounds like Gina Bacon took over the controls (and I dig!)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:01pm
Asheville Jon:

gonna have to catch the rest of the show on the archives.
thanks for doing this tribute Sam.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:02pm
Sam Segal:

Thanks for being here, Jon.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:03pm
Asheville Jon:

sure thing Sam. have a good rest of the night.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:08pm
melinda:

Great Kinks song, I first heard Kirsty MacColl's version.
  10:17pm
Chuck:

I just love them Nashville Katz!!!
  10:21pm
Chuck:

I'm pretty sure that John Sebastian was Jewish... I know for sure that David Bromberg was!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:23pm
Sam Segal:

Chuck! Hey, maybe Lovin' Cohens was a Lovin' Spoonful side project.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:40pm
melinda:

I didn't realize until recently that he spent part of his youth in Dallas. Fellow Texan, sort of.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:41pm
chresti:

I only became awares of Silver Jews, Purple Mountain, and David Berman in the last year or so while listening to WFMU
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:42pm
Sam Segal:

@Melinda: Always loved his description of Dallas in that song..."A million steers [turned into] buildings made of mirrors."
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:42pm
chresti:

Aspects of his voice is reminding me of Johnny Cash
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:43pm
Sam Segal:

If I've helped anyone discover David Berman, my job here is done.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:43pm
melinda:

@Sam totally.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:46pm
melinda:

@chresti I can hear that too. Though their voices are distinct from each other he reminds me of Lou Reed in that they are both weary-sounding talk-singers.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:48pm
melinda:

I remembered this line as "Squirrels in town from Connecticut, Just in time for Fall". I like the idea of squirrels on a leaf-peeping vacation.

Hey, late to the Shiva, just recently heard Silver Jews on FMU as well, have to check out the music. Any pastrami left?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:00pm
Franco Twinkie:

I will convert if pastrami is involved.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:06pm
Sam Segal:

Pastrami is always involved.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:07pm
Sam Segal:

You're right on time, Doc!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:11pm

doctorjazz:

Bought Tanglewood Numbers after hearing it on FMU, but, being short on time and long on "new arrivals", haven't gotten to listen to it much.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:14pm
Sam Segal:

One of his absolute masterpieces. Great choice.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:16pm
doctorjazz:

Just saw Betty LaVette this past Saturday, Montclair Jazz Festival, was a bit disappointing,have to say (but Eddie Palmieri,the closer,more than made up for it).
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:17pm
Sam Segal:

Apologies in advance for playing Kenny Chesney two times in one month, but Berman loved this song and so do I.
  11:17pm
ChrisFarrell:

Thanks for the GREAT show Sam. Gotta kick out early, big day tomorrow. See you next week

I loved his little descriptions. "If you trend hippie..."

Thanks Sam. I'm going to throw back a shooter of cough medicine for David, and call it a day.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:55pm
Sam Segal:

You've earned it, Franco.
