SaitoRyo Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 David Berman, of Silver Jews and most recently Purple Mountains, has passed away at age 52. That Purple Mountains records is one of the best of the year and I would encourage everyone to listen to it. Having read some interviews with him recently it was clear that he had been in a really dark place but was getting better. Sad news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members BomberPat Posted August 8, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted August 8, 2019 I haven't had chance to listen to the Purple Mountains album yet, though the first track released was as good as he's ever been. Silver Jews were incredible, and Lookout Mountain, Lookout Sea is one of my all-time favourite records. Very sad news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaitoRyo Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Don't sleep on Purple Mountains, mate. It is genuinely excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted August 8, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted August 8, 2019 Just a quick heads up. On the 6Music show that's on between 9 and midnight tonight they are going to play a Silver Jews session at some point. Something you might want to listen to on catch up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aw that's a shame. Just read this. Johnny Clegg and Savuka provided a few songs for the cracking "Rainman" soundtrack in the late 80s. Mixture of Hans Zimmer and Clegg on there.

Thoughts with @Scott Malbranque at this difficult time. Years Stavo, for years I have tortured myself and been conflicted over that remarkable specimen. Actually really saddened to read that. Genuinely am Mates were texting about this too, and I got tagged on Facebook. Bizarre that to a few people, I'm synonymous with the lass.  Edited August 9, 2019 by Scott Malbranque Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted August 9, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted August 9, 2019 Oh. I wondered who it was about. I kind of remember the show. Saw some clips on YouTube of her "outing" herself at the end of the series. Get husband reckons it was under suspicious circumstances, and if they've held off on announcing her passing for the better part of 6 months it looks like there may be something afoot.

Merzbow Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 (edited) Jeffrey Epstein has killed himself, my natural reaction was good riddance but he could have been key to getting so many more high profile offenders named and put away. Of course every single Twitter reply to the news is that he's been killed to shut him up etc. Edited August 10, 2019 by Merzbow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SuperBacon Posted August 10, 2019 Members Share Posted August 10, 2019 (edited) Genuinely had never heard of him until about 2 weeks ago. Grim that the NY Post published a photo of him on a gurney on the way to hospital...or did they? Edited August 10, 2019 by SuperBacon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doog Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 He was meant to be on suicide watch though wasn’t he? Not to be a conspiracy nut but this death is very convenient for a lot of powerful people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheToeSucker Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Yeah, I mean, it's not unheard of for someone to be "silenced permenantly". It's not unbelievable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of Hamptons Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Conspiracy theories are generally for morons, but Epstein being convicted as a paedophile and then waiting 11 years until he started naming names to kill himself is fucking convenient for the powerful people he was involved with!
