I unplug all the neon turn the ringer off the phone throw my thoughts like tomahawks into this world which I disown because the pillow that I dream on is the threshold of a kingdom is the threshold of a world where I'm with you it's a dark & snowy secret & it has to do with Heaven & what looks like sleep is really hot pursuit

"I still get a hollow feeling on Labor Day when the summer ends // and I remember how I would always refer to her boyfriends / as what’s-his-face, which was wrong of me and I’d like / to apologize to those guys right now, wherever they are: // No one deserves to be called what’s-his-face."

I was 19, and dead from the neck up She was a Christian rock ingenue Sentimental as a cat's grave Her fucking body broke my eyes And she said, "I'm gonna love the hell out of you"

Silver Jews - Cat's Cradle, Carrboro, North Carolina, September 11, 2008

The last time we ventured into the Silver Jews galaxy, we checked out the very first full show by David Berman and co. in 2006. This one, courtesy the fine folks at the Acid Casualties live archive, comes towards the end of the Jews' run as a gigging act — their last appearance was in February 2009, if all my facts are right.

The band was roughly the same as it was in '06, but where they once were winningly ragged, in '08 they had coalesced into something very special, highlighted by the excellent twin guitar attack of William Tyler and Peyton Pinkerton. Tighter, more dramatic, fully engaged. That goes for Berman as well, who sounds much more at home as a frontman here, delivering his classic verses with confidence and energy. A great show!

It was Berman's birthday last week, and the various memories and tributes that popped up online sent me back to the Jews, of course. Ana Gavrilovska called out something from The Natural Bridge's "Pretty Eyes" and it knocked me out.

All houses dream in blueprints Our house dreams so hard Outside you can see my shoe prints I've been dreaming in your yard

I had a fairly vivid dream (for me, anyway) a few weeks back in which I was hanging out with someone I knew in high school. Or barely knew, really! I can't even recall her name, to be honest, and she hasn't crossed my mind in about 25 years ... but there she was, lurking somewhere in my subconscious after all these years. What else is in there? And if she's still out there, living her own life, can she see my shoe prints in her yard?
