Aka Buster Poindexter. The Dolls were godhead in the day and Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler owes his whole PERSONA to him. RIP king 👑

If you love Silver Jews, Purple Mountains, his books "Actual Air" and "The Portable February" Then you miss Berman as much as I do. I only caught him live once, in Portland, OR back in 2006 with his friend/fellow Silver Jew/PDX resident Stephen Malkmus accompanying him. It was an amazing evening. I had been a fan a long time by that point and the setlist literally covered the waterfront. “It was the light in things that made them last,” Berman wrote in his poem “Governors on Sominex.” I'm grateful that David lasted as long as he did. His perfect, specific work will stand the test of time for a long time to come. You can read Pitchfork's beautifully written tribute here.

I well and truly loved Dave. Interviewed him on several occasions and just hung out with him in PDX on many others. It is so rare to meet someone in life who is so open to new ideas, new concepts, new music, new humans. He will be sorely missed. An incredible musician (with an absolutely GOLDEN indie CV) but also one of the most original minds I ever encountered.

I think a lot of musicians have one particular person they owe a great debt to. That could be a rock star or your stoner uncle who played Black Sabbath riffs in the garage. For me it was David Berman. Because I had played guitar for years before I even heard of him and his music was too quiet for me at first, but something happend. David Berman gave me a voice. No one else will ever make singing seem so natural and words so meaningful. Everything can be something and it's always worth trying. Anyone can sing a song as long as they try to. Go put on a Silver Jews record today

The man responsible for dozens of Teenage Symphonies to God "Sad songs about happy things" (the first time, as a kid, I can recall the sweet/sour combo of melodies that could make you cry attached to songs about endless, bottomless love) I've long since lost track of how many weddings and funerals I've attended that have featured this song; suffice it to say, "a lot." God only knows what we'd been without him 🙏🏻

Hey tyler hopefully this doesn’t violate some PI.FYI golden rule But after nearly two years of writing, editing and arguing, my book about the EP is coming out in May and can be preordered here: https://hozacrecords.com/product/aifl/ The book is about the origins, history and cultural impact of the EP since these little objects first started coming out in the 50s. Over 50 of my music biz friends then helped me shape the list and review the top 200 ever released, according to us (ha). For those of you who are into this kind of geekery/snobbery, I can’t wait to hear what you think. A labor of love, as all books are! ❤️
