    TEAR IN THE THROAT by JEFFREY CHRISTOPHER FALLIS (Under the Direction of Ed Pavlic) ABSTRACT A creative dissertation that investigates the complexity of the human voice and its relationship to language, music, and song through a combination of poetry, memoir, critical essays, drama, and prose fragments. The dissertation focuses on the anatomy and mechanics of the voice, scat singing and doo-wop’s nonsense syllables, the voice and its restrictions in the architecture of song, and the human voice and its connection to the animal and celestial.

  • David Berman - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series David Berman - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive David Berman(4 January 1967) David Berman is an American poet, cartoonist, and singer-songwriter best known for his work with indie-rock band the Silver Jews. <b>Biography</b> David Berman was born January 4, 1967 in Williamsburg, Virginia. He attended high school at Greenhill School in Addison, Texas, before matriculating at the University of Virginia. While in Charlottesville, Virginia, Berman began writing and performing songs (often left on friends' voice message machines) with his loose band, Ectoslavia, primarily composed of UVA classmates Stephen Malkmus and Bob Nastanovich. Upon graduation from the University of Virginia, the trio moved to Hoboken, New Jersey, where they shared an apartment and adopted the moniker Silver Jews. Before moving to Hoboken, Malkmus had also founded another band, Pavement, with his childhood friend Scott Kannberg. As Pavement's acclaim and visibility grew, the notion arose that the Silver Jews were a "Pavement side-project," despite the fact that Berman's writing, singing, and guitar playing led the band's music, and, of course, the Silver Jews preceded Pavement. On the band's early recordings, Berman even tried to protect the Jews' individuality by listing Malkmus and Nastanovich under aliases, but it backfired when people learned who "Hazel Figurine" and "Bobby N." really were. Not long after the success of Pavement's debut album, Slanted and Enchanted (which was named after a cartoon Berman had created), Dan Koretsky, founder of the Chicago-based indie label Drag City, met Berman at a Pavement show.

  • Silver Jews' Reclusive David Berman to Speak in Rare Appearance At
    Press Office Press Contacts: Macaulay Honors College Grace Rapkin The City University of New York 212 729 2913 or [email protected] 35 West 67th Street New York, NY 10023 Lisa Dierbeck 917 364-0755 or [email protected] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE SILVER JEWS’ RECLUSIVE DAVID BERMAN TO SPEAK IN RARE APPEARANCE AT MACAULAY HONORS COLLEGE AT CUNY APRIL 8, 2013 New York, NY - February 19, 2013. Singer-songwriter David Berman, who fronted the influential rock band Silver Jews, will give a talk at Macaulay Honors College at The City University of New York in a rare public appearance--breaking three years of silence--on April 8, 2013 at 7 p.m. at 35 West 67th Street between Central Park West and Columbus Avenue. He appears as the inaugural guest of Macaulay’s new speaker series, the Kenan Lectures in Ethics and Resistance. Based in Nashville, Tennessee, Berman has been called “one of the most gifted lyricists of the last two decades” by The Washington Post, which dubbed his songs “hilarious, heartbreaking, pretty, ugly and everything in between.” Recently profiled in the Jewish arts and culture journal Tablet, Berman has often collaborated during his idiosyncratic career with musician Stephen Malkmus, the frontman of Pavement, an icon of the 1990s independent music scene. Berman, a noted poet and illustrator, has become a cult-like figure of almost legendary mystery and the subject of speculation and rumor. He published a successful collection of poetry, Actual Air, in 1999 (Open City Books), widely admired for its close observation and off-beat humor and often compared to the writings of Wallace Stevens and Kenneth Koch.
