  1. David Berman would have turned 56 today. When it’s snowing outside, like it is today, I often think of this song. What a masterful songwriter and lyricist he was.

    This is the track 'Richie Sacramento' by #Mogwai.

    There's a story behind this one:

    'Brathwaite explained, "Ritchie Sacramento's title came from a misunderstanding a friend of ours had about how to say Ryuichi Sakamoto. The lyrics were inspired by a story Bob Nastanovich shared about his friend and bandmate David Berman who proclaimed 'Rise Crystal Spear' as he threw a shovel at a sports car."'
