Douche of the Day: David Berman of Silver Jews


Today, in an interview with Pitchfork Media, David Berman of the Hoboken, NJ band, Silver Jews, had this to say about Thom and the boys of Radiohead: 

"You can go through the whole new Radiohead album and try and tell me what they're saying, and all you'll get over and over again is things are miserable, don't try, things suck. And it's all gray. There's nothing there. Never before has there been a 'greatest band in the world' who had so little to say about anything."

Hmm, really Dave? We never realized that you and your Silver Jews were the second coming of Bob Dylan when it came to prophetic and meaningful lyrics. We can't all write songs as good as...umm "Random Rules"? (gag, cough). Until you put out a record like Kid A, we here at Hipter Doucheblog think it would be wise to keep your mouth shut and stick to your shitty Pavement offshoot band. We think maybe Dave is displacing some anger over the fact that Stephen Malkmus didn't ask him to join Pavement back in the day.
