That's cool..My story  is not as good as yours..I was working in Athens GA some 15 years ago. I went out to lunch, driving down the road and I saw Michael setting in his decked out Ford Bronco at a traffic light.

Yep.
I remember at work straining to get KROQ-FM from Pasadena out here in the desert (geographical and musical) from my FM radio in my truck.
I would circle the house I was working on to get the best signal possible.
Drag my speakers, with long extension cords, into the house and turn up great New Wave "Rock of the Eighties" music.
It's when I first heard of REM.

Work almost became fun.

This mesmerizing album once spent near-record time in my tape-deck (maybe only Dark Side of the Moon, Zep 4, Candy-O and Who Are You spent longer in there before this) and I'm kinda surprised how good it sounds just now...might have to dig out the old REM again!  Thanks, RP!

Why is the release date listed as "?"  The answer is 1983.  Do I win some AUX speakers?

Awesome album.  And "Pilgrimage" should be played soon ...

definitely takes me back —- they made you almost felt cool going to high school in Georgia.
after all these years, it's still fascinating to me that Stipe could manage to be so clearly singing in English and yet remain so nearly indecipherable.  But hey, that just made it all the cooler!

Well, since we're name dropping. I've been Michael Stype's server at a trendy Park Ave. eatery...twice, and he was a gracious host to his friends and business associates as well as being a solid tipper.

  and I once played pool with him and Peter Buck at the Cubby Bear lounge in Chicago in 1989......they were there for a Robyn Hitchcock show, which was also a benefit concert, so good on them, and yeah, nice enough :)

Saw them open for The English Beat in 1981 as Radio Free Europe was getting airplay.  I am still looking for reasons to enjoy Michael Stipe's new music as much as I did the band's earlier work.

I wouldn't have known this was REM if I didn't see it on the playlist.

It doesn't suck. How strange and rare.(Although I did listen to this album twice a year or so ago,it was after I had heard just  too much garbage from them  to take them seriously)
