What a titan. Had the honor of meeting him once. He was kind but super intimidating, as you can imagine.

Just saw this as well. She somehow seemed both older and younger than I imagined her. A massive loss.

Frontman for the Silver Jews. You should seek out American Water, it's an incredible album and I think you'd really enjoy it.

FUCK!

I loved Berman.

American Water-Bright Flight-Tanglewood Numbers was an incredible string of albums.

Kinda surprised trag is unfamiliar with Berman for some reason. Tanglewood Numbers hit me at a special time in my life.
