Just reposting items from the SJBB message boards and newsletters again. The latest rumor mills below:- The Uni-Quarterly State of the Jews Address
- Drag City: "You see, Silver Jews are a tradition to the young and semi-young of our global village — they quote David Berman’s lyrics, incorporating them as catch-phrases into their impressionable lives, fashion their lifestyles after what they imagine Silver Jews’ albums to be espousing and burn their favorite songs onto mix-CDs that they seek to influence others with, the cheap bitches! Ah, what we wouldn’t do for this fandom…it seems like the least we could do (literally) to release an album every four years or so from one of Drag City’s most celebrated of bands."
- Drag City on Silver Palace: "Hey, American friend — wanna buy a really rare record? If you’re near a fine Drag City direct retailer, you’ll have a chance to buy one on October 18th. See, that’s the day Drag City’s little sister label Sea Note issues a mystery single so strange and mysterious…let's see, so strange and mysterious, we can’t tell you a single thing about this single! Well, perhaps just one little note — this record is related to our big October 18th release and a rumor that’s spread for some years over a collaboration with this band and another band on Drag City. That’s all we’re telling you — put together the pieces and five dollar bills and be the first in line — and you too might have this rarest of items!"
- Anonymous tour rumor: silver palace is happening and the shows are currently being booked. it looks like paul's going to come along and we'll have chasnny on guitar. we're going to ease dave into touring. i'd say more but i'm fairly drunk and have said too much. expect a decent amount of both our catalogs. malk might do a couple of shows.
