Biography:
Silver Jews was an American indie rock band from New York City. The band's earliest incarnation was the college band Ectoslavia, formed by future Pavement founders Bob Nastanovich, Stephen Malkmus and frontman David Berman at the University of Virginia in 1989. An exercise in joyous noise, the band disbanded after graduation and the three friends moved to New York to take up various jobs - Nastanovich, a bus driver, and Berman and Malkmus, art museum security guards.

Rushing 'round a bend and skipping stones

I've come to get my girl and take her home

Her doorbell plays a bar of Stephen Foster

We're gonna live in Nashville and I'll make a career
