    R.E.M. top 20 songs

    in Someone Else's Song

    based on your list they should have quit in 1989

     

    If you didn't listen to their 2000's output you missed some great gems...sure they weren't as consistant in the 2000's but you could count on 4 or 5 solid songs every album.

     

    I did. Aughties stuff too, it's just that I really tire of most of the Warner's albums very very quickly - probably from over-playing but truthfully I suspect that it's more from a lack of quality. I mean Monster sucked, AFTP was a snooze and I never play Out of Time.

     

    I sort of liked Hi-Fi, but they really should have stopped. The rest - yeah okay, maybe a song or two, but nothing that is memorable.

     

    Hey, I was a frigging Mod on Murmurs for a bit. My fandom didn't dwindle, the band did.

    Let the waitress put the chairs up,

    let the glasses that you broke,

    form a picture of our leader

    with a halo made of smoke.

     

    Let the golden oldies station

    crackle and come through.

    With a final benediction

    we'll hum along to.

    Before we say goodnight

     

    Let our talk about the ball game

    and the weather show we care.

    Like a sound we didn't notice,

    until it stopped and left us there.

     

    With the traffic and our heartbeats

    beating in straight time,

    let our hatred and affection

    march in the same line,

    Before we say goodnight.

     

    Got told the story of Psalm for The Elk Lodge Last Call on Thursday. It comes from Propoghandi doing all ages punk shows at a series of Elk Lodges in the early 90s. At 11pm every night the Elks would gather in the front room as the Straight Edge concerts blared in the back and toast their long dead members before calling it a night.

    Doug Paisley - Constant Companion

    saw him recently in a small bar and got talking to his bassist (the amazing Bazil Donovan). Bazil said it was an absolute pleasure to work with Doug, because he'd never heard anyone with such a light and graceful touch.

     

    I went back and listened to the latest album again and the producer just nails it in terms of highlighting that lightness. What seems laid back and lazy is anything of the sort.

     

    you sort of get the idea here, but in the intervening 6 years, Doug has literally progressed ten fold
