I'd like to know, Romeo, what you cannot dance to.

Song you dislike - they exist?

Don't be always so lovable, good and positive!

Let me know what you cannot stand!

 

I love you, Stingray, even with your sharp wit!  Maybe even because of that!  I cannot dance to music composed by Josef Slavík!

I love this R.E.M. song!

according to the comments, this one was played in july ´12for the last time... ???

if this is true, there´s something seriously wrong with the frequency ...

Hmm since Peace, Love & Understanding played a few songs back, I imagined I heard the opening chords to that song in this song.

Cool guitar tone.

Met REM in Lubbock TX in 1983. They were driving in an old white van. I am surprised I remember that much{#Dancingbanana_2}

Great song.  There's an interesting - somewhat satirical - take on the Rather incident from Harper's Magazine.

They may not have been as great since this album, but there are some gems on the later ones that I'd miss had they never existed ("Bittersweet Me", "All the way to Reno", and God help me but I love everything on Up...)

I think Rather's got it out of his system. Stipe's still tripping on the matter:

"R.E.M. vocalist Michael Stipe said of the incident: "It remains the premier unsolved American surrealist act of the 20th century. It's a misunderstanding that was scarily random, media hyped and just plain bizarre." On June 22, 1995, at Madison Square Garden, Rather accompanied the band during soundcheck to perform the song. The clip was shown prior to R.E.M.'s performance of "Crush with Eyeliner" on Late Show with David Letterman the following night."

Bought this CD recently at the Salvation Army Thrift Store, and have been playing it non-stop since. Love a popular band with the talent to challenge us with change; to not be "Comfortably Numb".

Love this track. I'm not sure why, but all the elements of the song meld pefectly into a "9" for me. It's not mind blowing, but it does its job perfectly. Plus, gotta love the reasoning behind the name ;)

This song followed Comfortably Numb on this exact date last year. Is this on purpose? Is there a September 4th link to both bands? Am I reading too much into this or are my shoe laces untied?

Actually, the correct quote was ''What's the frequency, Gwyneth?'' They wanted to know how the rate of intercourse enjoyed by Ms. Paltrow. They thought Rather had interviewed her via the back door. True story.
