Silver Jews Press Blitz; Plus Lookout Mountain, Lookout Sea Tourdates

We at TMT realize that you may not have had time to catch up on the flurry of Dave Berman/Silver Jews interviews that have surged online in the wake of the band’s latest release, Lookout Mountain, Lookout Sea (TMT Review). It’s all a bit overwhelming – dangling the formerly reclusive songwriter before ravenous music journalists is a lot like dangling a fifth of Wild Turkey, a syringe of smack, and a Ziploc of assorted prescription drugs in front of a recovered addict. Don’t worry; none of the interviewers bring that analogy up. At least I don’t this so.

Most of them go pretty easy on the ol’ softie about the new album too.
