    The Mother of All Roadtrips...

    in Tongue-Tied Lightning

    Just out of curiosity, Donna - why by car? If you calculate the fiscally estimated 0,30 € it costs to run a car per kilometer, you're at 1392,00 € ( ~ $ 1987,00) one way. Given that you also have to get the occasional motel room, I guess you could've bought quite some flight tickets for that money?

    We once made it to a queue way after him (he was the only one queueing at that time though), swapped to a different entrance, and still made it in before him. Oh and going to a gay bar with him is also fun. :dancing

    R.E.M. - "Collapse Into Now"

    in Someone Else's Song

    Posted

    How does this new album have the "R.E.M. sound" ? Maybe what I think is the R.E.M. sound (from way back in the 80's) isn't really the R.E.M. sound at all.

     

    I dunno....I've listened to it a couple of times now and it's doing absolutely nothing for me.

     

    I was a huge R.E.M. fan back in the day....Murmur literally changed my life...but nothing on Collapse Into Now is moving me aside from the last song with Patti Smith, which is the only song standing out for me at all. It's very hard-driving (which is a style I've never thought R.E.M. was particularly good at), and there is nothing nearly as memorable as Supernatural Superserious, which is the only song I can even remember from Accelerate at this point.

     

    Meh.

     

    Disappointing, and I really wanted to love it, if for no other reason than to relive my youth. ;)

     

    I think my love affair with R.E.M. is over, no matter how much I keep hoping that love affair will be rekindled with each new release....it just hasn't happened since Up....

     

    You took the words right out of my mouth (apart from disagreeing on the song, for me it's "Oh my heart" that I think is really outstanding). I was having a hard time trying to put my feelings about CIN into words, but you just did it for me.

     

    I am quite sad about this though :no

    Christchurch New Zealand Earthquake...

    I found the Kiwi accent very disturbing at first and couldn't understand a single thing. Now, we're trying to practice it at home! Dreeeeeeeeeeeeeeedful! :lol

     

    The pictures of Christchurch are devastating. Thinking I've been walking along these now disturbed roads not even 4 months ago in white summer trousers and flip-flops makes me well up. It is such a quaint town with lots of beautiful buildings.......or has been :no

    I like this one too, Mills backing vocals on it are a little intrusive though and grating.

     

    Agreed. I wish they would just finally get rid of these so-called "harmonies" *ouch* and let Michael's voice be Michael's voice instead of this so-called "Producer" re-working his vocals beyond recognition.

    What Christmas gift are you currently enjoying?

    Right at this present moment, I am having fun looking into the mirror and seeing what the night did to my radical new haircut (which was a xmas gift I gave to myself ;)). I look like a wild pixie with everything standing up :lol

     

    On Saturday & Sunday, I will be enjoying the whole of Season 6 of "Deadliest Catch", which we started watching by chance in New Zealand, and I got so hooked after only one episode that Rob bought us the whole season on DVD as soon as it came out. Oh joy!
