R.E.M. Band • Page 8

He had such nice hair way back when..... my goodness.

 

hell yeah

 

Hope this leads to another episode of R U Talkin' R.E.M. Re: Me?

 

Maybe it’ll be this one? I am so excited

 

Read an article and it’s this one!

 

Between this and the reissue of The Scary One, I feel like another episode has to be in the works.

 

The world is better with REM in it

I miss them.

 

Every now and then I think about how one of my teachers interviewed Bono years ago, with Bono lying on his lap, wearing sunglasses, hungover and apologising for it. Apparently he was partying with Michael Stipe and Thom Yorke the night before!

 

This reminds me of the story where Bono drank Noel Gallagher under the table.

 

I definitely need to find this story.

 

Noel Gallagher got so drunk with Bono on tour that he tried to escape - NME

 

new song is really nice

 

R.E.M. is the kind of band that I only know a couple songs but I actually love them.

Shall I listen more of them? It seems that I do...

 

Great interview

It’s the end of the world as we know it... and Michael Stipe feels fine

 

Interview about Monster with MS & MM

REM: 'We didn't want to become the dancing monkey'

 

Someone should do an R.E.M. bracket. I'm curious to see how it would go.

 

monster is pretty easily my least favorite of their 90s records but it's been really cool to see what they have to say about that era. it's definitely given the record more depth to me, particularly bc I hadn't really spent any time w the lyrics

 

All the talk about the Monster 25th anniversary release has got me deep into an R.E.M. phase again, and I'm enjoying it.

I became a fan with Up so I'm really curious to see if they stick with the 25th anniversary releases up to that one. Seems fitting it would end with the Bill stuff, but Up was a huge album for me and really their last great one (I also love Accelerate, but not in the same kind of way).

My Top 10 Favorite:
1. The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite
2. At My Most Beautiful
3. Disturbance at the Heron House
4. Untitled
5. Just a Touch
6. Be Mine
7. Tongue
8. Nightswimming
9. Me in Honey
10. Find the River

Honorable Mentions to Strange Currencies, Man-Sized Wreath, Daysleeper, Hollow Man, Walk Unafraid.

 

Pretty solid top 10 there.

Here's my random comment:

Of all the bands that retire and return (almost everybody??), this is the ONE BAND that I really want to come back, even if just for a tour. The world is a better place with REM in it.

 

y'all like R.E.M.??

been jamming murmur and reckoning particularly hard lately. I tried to imagine bands that sound like this now and couldn't come up with much, bizarre to think of how alien it would be if an indie rock band came out and sounded like this out of the gate in 2019

 

one of the greatest ever

The Monster remaster was awesome

 

Monster was my least favorite record of theirs and the remaster has changed that immensely, it's like a whole different album for me. Also the first time where a remaster has really changed my opinion like this, it's awesome.
