I was aware of the name, and his association with Pavement and Drag City and whatnot.
It's kind of odd that this was the first song I ever heard by him that I knew was by him.
Eerie.

I think we may have had a thread about the best opening verses of songs. That one certainly belongs in the conversation:

Friends are warmer than gold
When you're old
Keeping them is harder
Than you might suppose
Lately I tend to make strangers wherever I go
Some of them were once people I was happy to know

I agree.
There's a pretty long list of hyper-literate lyricists that I'm aware of but I have no idea if their music is any good.
This guy, the guy from Mountain Goats, the guy from Mount Eerie, that Bonnie Prince Billy guy, etc....

I know a lot about Elvis Costello and Nick Cave though.

It's really good, it's really good, I'm sorry your wife died, it's pretty good

I thought this was for my father in law, David Berman, who passed away in February.
