some bands id like to namecheck....one of them is R.E.M.

PAULYBEE2656 · 08.03.2008, 05:38 AM

I just finished getting the entire album back catalogue of r.e.m. and i have to say i must be getting old but they are a fantastic band.

i always liked them to a point but never sat down and properly listened to em all. i know they have dull moments like the out of time album and most of automatic/ new adventures but the majority of their output is stunning.....

i know this aint groundbreaking or whatever but anyone got any further thoughts or witty remarks to make?

How is liking REM "getting old"?

PAULYBEE2656 · 08.03.2008, 05:51 AM

ha1 well they arent merzbow or anything... i dunno... its just a phrase....

Semperet · 08.03.2008, 05:53 AM

They're getting old the same way we all are.
I got back into REM (a little) with the live album/dvd recorded in Dublin. It shows two things: first, what shite the songs from Around The Sun were, and secondly how powerful a live band they can be with an energy which infects the audience.
Although four of the first five are my favourites (easier to type Fables than to list the other four titles, lazy get that I am) I have to admit a soft spot for Reveal.
I'm Gonna Dj is the worst song ever though.
Pauliebee, see you at Acid Mothers on Wed?

I've had trouble listening to them since Michael Stipe's racist rant.

I forget what magazine it was in, but the interviewer asked if there was anything he disliked about the south. Stipe talked about an "unwanted element." The interviewer pushed him to be more specific, and Stipe said, "Let's just say that I'm proud that R.E.M. shows are the one place in the south where you won't find any black people."

I could be wrong, but I have a very hard time believing he said that.
