I don't envy you this time around, man. I love his music but Berman strikes me as a scary dude. I hear he's on the wagon now so maybe he's turned a corner. Best of luck anyhow, can't wait to hear it.

Right on vish, my favourite canadian after nardwuar of course!

What's so 'scary' about him??

hey, thanks. I'm sure it'll be fine. I may be slightly nervous but I don't fear David. also, it's on the phone, so what could he really do to me?

There was a period of time when DB was pretty far gone, by all accounts. A few years ago a lot of folks figured him for a toe-tag sooner or later. He definitely went through a dark period brought on by extensive substance abuse. I heard a few stories from that time which made him seem like a pretty scary chap. That's in the past though.

It's absolutely wonderful that he pulled through and the new record is as good as anything he's produced thus far.

Agreed. I saw an interview with him and he had that bizarre 'brain is functioning at a high level quality' about him

Hello again,

Here's an mp3 link for the interview with David:

It'll be up for about 40 days and starts about five or six minutes after a BBC news report.

Hope you enjoy it.

Thanks,
