One more than one occasion Davey has reflected on his Silver Jews fandom. Not sure how I came to the conclusion that it wasn't for me. Maybe it was as simple as a track on a comp that I didn't dig or whatever. Fast forward to a few days ago when I saw a copy of their recent compilation of their early works. I've been listening to it pretty much non-stop ever since. Perfect for the car, run, or lifting. This thing takes lo-fi to a new low (lo!). Still, I can't stop listening. This is the sort of thing that nobody I know in real life would like and I'd probably have a hard time explaining what about it appeals to me. All I can say is that aging punk rockers might find this a lot of fun.
