	Clem Snide: Reviews, Discography, Audio Clips, and more \|\|\| Music.com
		Conjuring a sweet and lusciously melancholy sound that merges the tunefulness of vintage pop, the late-night vibe of cool jazz, the lonesome spirit of classic country, and the delicate touch of folk, Clem Snide are a trio who've gone through more than their share of changes since they first formed in 1991.
		Clem Snide was first assembled by singer, guitarist, and songwriter Eef Barzelay while he was attending college in Boston during the early '90s; the first edition of the band was created to perform his earliest attempts as songwriting, and the sound was dominated by noisy, punk-jazz inspired dissonance with abrasive guitar lines and bleating saxophone.
		The group's relationship with Sire was through by the time the band finished their third album, 2001's The Ghost of Fashion, but Clem Snide's career enjoyed a boost when a song from the album, "Moment in the Sun," was chosen as the theme for the hit television series Ed.

	TrouserPress.com :: Clem Snide
		Clem Snide, which took its name from a character in William Burroughs' Cities of the Red Night, is a vessel for the alternately sweet and sardonic songwriting of New Jersey native Eef Barzelay.
		Behind Barzelay's parched, plain-spoken, nerdly nasal whine and equally dry wit and wordplay, Clem Snide's music is, by turns, sparse, atmospheric and playful in a manner that accentuates the casual intimacy and uncomplicated emotion of his compositions.
		Formed in Boston in 1991 as a self-described "noisy, self-destructive punk rock trio," Clem Snide released a tape and a 7-inch before singer/guitarist/songwriter Barzelay and bassist Jason Glasser moved to Manhattan in 1994 to attend art school.

	Snide and Prejudice
		The psyche of Adolf Hitler is a 20th-century riddle we’d be wise to address: This is the argument mounted with weird zest and scholarly exactitude in Snide and Prejudice, by writer-director Philippe Mora.
		Snide and Prejudice An engaging and incisive take on Hitler's rise to power, this fl but never bleak comedy plays out in the fictional Temporal Displacement Foundation, where patients believe they are famous historical figures.
		Snide and Prejudice isn’t a perfect film, but it is bold, enveloping and fantastically thought-provoking.

		The band Clem Snide first came together a decade ago in Boston as a noisy, punk rock trio.
		Snide: "My experience with Israel, it's all kind of surreal, because the kibbutz is such an insular kind of space, and it's so quiet and so slow.
		Snide: "I want to play simple music, and so, when I discovered country music, you know it was just three chords, and that you know sort of waltzy feel, that sort of doom, chick-chick doom, and it's just kind of a simple and delicious foundation for words."

	Hiding Snide (Metro Times Detroit) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		When his the trail gets cold, Snide does what any private dick in an apocalyptic drug underworld would: He goes to the boy’s apartment, records samples of creaking doors and flushing toilets on a spinning handheld recorder and plays them during magical, hallucinatory sex acts.
		And as Clem Snide commences to play a collection of songs that span the band’s 10-year life span, the visceral moments are many, though the nicest ones are from his reflections of developments in his new-found happiness.
		Clem Snide will be at the Magic Bag (22920 Woodward, Ferndale) on Tuesday, Oct. 28.

	Clem Snide - End of Love - Stylus Magazine
		Come to find out, Clem Snide is not a crotchety crooner, but a band started in 1991 by singer-songwriter Eef Barzelay featuring a revolving roster of bandmates including Brendan and Pete Fitzpatrick.
		If Clem Snide were a character, he’d be likeable and clean cut, his geeky glasses giving him a certain charm, not unlike the title character of now-defunct TV series Ed to which the band lent their song “Moment in the Sun” as the theme.
		Clem Snide isn’t like a paramour you obsess over, counting the minutes until you can be together again.

		Luckily, Clem Snide is not one of those bands.
		I've never really gotten into Clem Snide's recorded material because I feel like it doesn't stack up to the way their music sounds live; Eef's vocal presentation is much more fascinating in person.
		Uncomfortable moment aside, once again Clem Snide provided a sweet and entertaining performance, once more confirming the fact that I don't need to own any of their albums to still enjoy them as a band.

		Not that End of Love, the fifth full-length by Clem Snide, abandons itself to the conceptual outback of art pop; instead, it continues the group's erratic, enthralling arc across old-school song wizardry and Costello-level wordplay.
		Clem's leader, Eef Barzelay, wheezes and warbles his way through yet another 11 tracks full of extended metaphors for truncated passions: Everything from German hip-hop and Jews for Jesus to Lucille Ball made-for-TV movies is set to a soundtrack of wistful indie rock and cheeky country.
		Although Clem Snide has flirted with major-label success in the past, the band won't be making any inroads with End of Love -- but it's the perfect pop puzzle to unravel on those long, drunken, heartbroken nights.

		Clem Snide, the musical vehicle/cooperative for lyricist/singer/songwriter and Nashville resident Eef Barzelay, is a group of art-pop revelers with twangy, old-school country & western leanings.
		Clem Snide will release its fifth full-length CD "End of Love" (Fargo Records) in February of 2005 which includes musical collaborations with members of Lambchop.
		Clem Snide is, in my opinion, one of the best bands out there.

	The Austin Chronicle Music: Spotlight: Clem Snide
		Beyond the easy cadences of the songs and the mild nasal drawl of Eef Barzelay's voice, something in the music of Clem Snide inspires a hazy, languid feeling that's tough to shake.
		Both 1997's You Were a Diamond and the recent Your Favorite Music are filled with images of repose -- not still-lifes, slow-lifes -- wherein spare guitar is engulfed by lush cello and bass arrangements, and the lyrical focus is on the absence of activity.
		Country-tinged pop songs that owe as much to Nick Drake as to Hank Williams, Clem Snide's albums are unlike anything else going.

		The Ghost of Fashion, Clem Snide's third album and second of 2001 is even more of a triumph than Your Favourite Music.
		Clem Snide instead sound, on Ghost of Fashion certainly, kind of like a warped collection of odd fellows who met after-hours wandering the parking lot of a Boston suburban honky-tonk.
		Which is the entire Clem Snide story really, because these two albums (and I don't doubt their debut You Were A Diamond as well) really have been the brightest, most richly coloured gems discovered in the embers of Pop in 2001.

		With its jangly twang, evocative lyrics and earnest vocals, Clem Snide resembles a high-lonesome version of R.E.M. And everybody hurts on its fifth release, which gracefully deals with such capital-letter crises as its titular trauma (The End of Love) and the disappearance of silence.
		Eef Barzelay submerges his songs in sorrow, but the melodies and characters are too buoyant to drown.
		Clem Snide moves from quiet country shuffles to glossy orchestral numbers, but Barzelay's delivery never wavers in its weariness.

	Sensible songwriter finds 'End of Love'
		Touring to promote its fifth album, "End of Love," Clem Snide is (from left) Brendan Fitzpatrick, Pete Fitzpatrick, Eef Barzelay and Ben Martin.
		When talking about his band's nearly 15-year history, for example, it seems to come down to this: "I like to write songs." Though, of course, there were the usual ebbs and flows, including a hiatus after several years.
		So, "the stakes are a little higher now," Barzelay concedes, but he feels that Clem Snide has gotten better at touring and recording.

		"Off the snide" is a variant of schneid, and schneider, both terms from gin rummy (and later, other card games) where one side has failed to score for an extended period.
		Stakes at gin rummy escalate if you schneider your opponent, that is, reach a winning score to their 0.

	MAGNET Interview: Clem Snide
		Rarely has a sentence been formed to describe Clem Snide that didn’t include the words “cynical,” “sarcastic” or some variation thereof.
		It’s not untrue: A bit of snideness makes Snide snide, along with singer/songwriter Eef Barzelay’s diamond wit and unparalleled knack for making everyday melancholy shimmer.
		Where love once meant loneliness and longing, it now means comfort and joy; luckily for Barzelay, he’s got songs extraordinary enough to survive the switcheroo.

		After being swept off their feet by the infamous record label executive, Seymour Stein, Clem Snide seemed to be well on the way to bringing their clever, string-accompanied, rockabilly-tinged music to a greater audience.
		But, in a retread of a story as old as capitalism, Sire merged with London Records, Clem Snide's record was delayed for a year, and the newly formed mega-label didn't give a damn.
		Throughout The Ghost Of Fashion, Clem Snide constructs compelling tales of self-involvement and love gone awry against fantastic instrumental backdrops that expand and contract with the precision and guile of a corporate record label in the midst of a merger.

		I popped in Clem Snide's The Ghost of Fashion, and my first thought was "wow, this reminds me a lot of Camper Van Beethoven!" Then I check the info that came with, and find that it was partially produced at Camper/Cracker alum David Lowery's studio in Richmond.
		Far from mere clones, though, Clem Snide take a twangier and slightly mellow tack than the revered CVB, and while the record is easily as quirky as anything Camper ever did, it has its own special sheen, tinged with a slight air of melancholy.
		And while the two bands are equally arty in the lyrical department, singer/songwriter Eef Barzelay is arguably more pop culture obsessed, making his tunes all the more irresistible.
