I meant to post this on Friday when I read it, but the Daily's Alexandra Jones wrote a nice preview of the concert. Of particular interest to me was this bit that must have come from an email interview with Berman:
"(Numbers) was the first album since the first album (1994's Starlite Walker) that did not seem like the final Silver Jews album," he said.
It looks like Berman has finally given up and embraced the fact that he is a musician. Before the release of Tanglewood Numbers, he seemed to reluctantly release albums at the prodding of friends and family. Perhaps now he has found a new calling? Again, from my experiences after the concert, there is no doubt in my mind that fronting Silver Jews is now a full-time endeavor for a man who heretofore clung obstinately to his title as a poet. Actual Air is near and dear to me, but not to the same degree as the Joos discography. I couldn't be more thrilled.
