R.E.M. is like Taco Bell. It's the same 7 ingredients— just presented a little differently. There are other similarities which I'm less inclined to discuss here.

Edit: In 81 through 87, R.E.M. were great. But 25+ years later? Not so fresh.



 
Amen.

Not being sarcastic here: that must suck. Love this band and this song. REM may not get as airplay as it used to, but they're hard to miss. It's a plus for me when I hear one of their songs; can't imagine what it would be like to grit your teeth every time you heard them.

I might have my message board lingo wrong, but I'm pretty sure a "troll" is someone who posts provocative or instigating comments for no other purpose than to antagonize others into posting rebuttals.

So it seems that, in reality, you are the "fu*king troll".

 

Thank you for pointing that out...  hope you are having a great day!

Yes!  He rocks!  Peter Buck and Michael Stipe met at Wuxtry Records in Athens, GA...  Peter Buck worked there, and Michael Stipe was a regular customer...

Yes. That one really gets your attention. I was in an intro art class with Michael Stipe, so we are roughly contemporary. Am impressed that anyone that old can rock like that. Amazingly fresh.

Totally. Tell it to M. Stipe, most of whose recent works have been about midlife angst.
p.s. I saw them at the Greek on that tour, too :)

Weird. That song sounds a little different in my memory.
Is this a remixed/remastered version?

Edit: ... and I second, third, and fourth the requests for some Tool on RP {#Good-vibes}

Actually, despite the name, this song reminds me of the Tool song "Opiate" more than anything else.

I'm guessing that birthday parties from your neck of the woods are a little different than ours?!?

Good luck with that and say hello to your therapist and/or support group for me!

I heard Los Lobos' "Peace" end, and I heard White Stripes' "Seven Nation Army" start. I did not hear this. It was right in the middle and I literally did not hear it. It didn't register at all.

I can't even rate it. I can't remember anything to rate.

So much for REM.

Now you know how you REM haters look when you have your Stalin-like tantrums.
