This is an archive of the content from my old Silver Jews website, The Corduroy Suit. Silver Jews were an American band formed in 1989 by David Berman along with Stephen Malkmus and Bob Nastanovich.
The Corduroy Suit became quite popular with Silver Jews fans at the time as it had the most complete collection of articles, photos, guitar tabs and other Silver Jews materials. Several times, David Berman contacted me to express his gratitude for making the website, and sometimes he would send me small parcels of memorabilia for inclusion.
I'd like to thank various people who contributed to the Corduroy Suit in its heyday: Jason Benjamin, Vassilis Bibas, Travis Bursik, Kody Ford, Peter Jenks, Adalena Kavanagh, Stephen McRobbie, Katrina Mitchell, Alex Parish, Gate Pratt, Omri Rosen, Justin Taylor, David Todd, Ryan Walsh, David Weintraub, Ryan Feeley.
Nowadays, the best place for discussing David Berman's work is The Wild Kindness, a private Facebook group.
