![David Berman [of the Silver Jews]](http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj23/deeplyrootedradio/silverjews.jpg)
I stumbled across this video of Dave Berman (frontman for the band The Silver Jews and fomer C’ville resident) reading from his notebook while paying a visit to Juan’s Basement in Brooklyn, NY. This one is called “Top Ten Redneck Moments” and orginally aired on Pitchfork.tv. This reading served as the afternoon’s introduction and was followed by a number of live performances of material from the Silver Jews’ latest album Lookout Mountain, Lookout Sea. The album was released on June 17 by Drag City Records.
If you’re hoping to see the Silver Jews perform live this summer, you’re going to have to hit the road for the band’s scheduled show on September 10 at the Black Cat in Washington, D.C. Also be on the “lookout” for the DVD release of the documentary Silver Jew which follows the band on their first-ever world tour back in 2006. Shot by filmmaker Michael Tully, the DVD hits stores on September 23.
Enjoy the video reading. It’s Berman at his most original and offbeat best.
