Although I’ve enjoyed some of Nodler and Schulze’s stories of hanging out with David Berman back when IBP created a play based on his work. These two, especially Troy, are some of the folks who have fooled me into thinking I’d go for this stuff but it just doesn’t hit me.

In the same ballpark, the Grifters. I could go on, Pavement, Sebadoh…it’s starting to sound like, for me anyway, bands that came out when I was pretty absorbed in my own work and had a pretty strong idea of what I was doing. I’m more laid back now and reach out in different directions although I still don’t go for poetic indie so much. Still don’t get Silver Jews (or any of these mentioned bands).
