I only have American Water and assumed some of the vocals were done by Stephen Malkmus because it sounds like him, but someone told me it was David Berman. I checked the info on the cd and they don't mention who plays what or who sings, and I can't find much on the 'net.

What I find peculiar is the lyric in 'Random Rules' where he sings, "I ask the painter why the roads are colored black. He said 'Steve, it's because people leave and no highway will bring them back."

If that's Berman singing, and not Malkmus, why would he call himself Steve?Just wondering.
