[Practising Troublemaker]

Hey even though I am obsessed with Morrissey and The Smiths I also appreciate the music of R.E.M., if anyone has any rare stuff or bootlegs by them please could you upload, you would make me happy thanksxx

[El Manzo]

This is a very good 1984 show (excellent King Biscuit radio broadcasting):

Always liked REM mostly the indie IRS stuff. BTW there is a new compilation coming out featuring tracks from those relesses. Check remembertheeighties.com for more info.

[charlie tango]

i've seen 'em play the pyramid stage twice. supreme.

[mjp]

Oh yes, mostly their older stuff most recent album I have is UP - I just lurve At My Most Beautiful.

[Maid@ Vale Lover]

popsong '89

That song is there best ever

Oooh this song is heavenly music!! And the video is great, sadly it's been ages since the last time i saw it.

Right now i'm loving Be Mine. When he sings 'you and me', oh dear, i can't describe the feeling

Keep the bootlegs coming please

[mjp]

See, Anna, that's my biggest problem with REM, their song titles are often not mentioned in the track (bit like Viva Hate tracks) so it's more difficult to memorise them when you've got a head filled with Morrissey!

I probably know the song you refer to as the brief line looks familar but I'd need more to get singing it!

[Anna]

Oh i know what you mean.. so much music.. so little brain substance

I never thought of this as funny
it speaks another world to me
i wanna be your easter bunny
i wanna be your christmas tree

Is that from the New Adventures In Hi-Fi album?

Here's where I am shown up as a bullsh*ter!

[Anna]

lol, yes, yes it is, go listen to it now!



Why are you still here?!

[mjp]

LOL @ Anna, thanks, and what a relief (I honestly didn't check anything first!)

I do have to admit though it was Losing My Religon that grabbed me but Document remains my favourite - Exhuming McCarthy in particular.

However, Hi-Fi is as good in it's consistency as anything else they ever did.

And I love their version of Suzanne on Up.

[poprenaissance]

on either the "document" or "green" tour, rem performed "word up" by cameo.

had to be one of the most surreal moments of my life.

Yes, I can imagine.

As long as Michael didn't wear the cod piece I *may* be able to sleep tonight!

[no one in particular]

i happen to like Gardening at Night a lot because it makes me think of doing something clandestine in the middle of the night when no one knows

It's as if gardening is just symbolic...

[Pervomartovtsi]

[andy_fozzy]

No.
