Advice to the Graduate
The Pastels - Advice To The Graduate
I like how during Peel Sessions bands sometimes throw in random covers of shit, or in this case the Silver Jews. Every time I hear this, I think of how graduation is going to feel, and now it's over and it doesn't feel like much. Really good Stephen Pastel vocal in this, not that I don't like Stephen Malkmus in the original. Also a nice touch is John Peel's intro, kind of sets you up for something epic. There is an inordinate amount of wisdom dispensed in this song. Kind of hard to think about right now. It's all subtly terrifying, I think, like graduating.
I wish I could show you the photo of the Silver Jews from the album artwork. They look incredibly hopeful. Everything 'Jews-related online seems to focus of David Berman. He wrote this. It didn't change my life.
