I heard a snippet on NPR, and am not interested in the least bit.

It tells you critics are subject to their own tastes at the expense of
objectivity, I suppose. But to each their own.

It's a good song, i think I'll buy the album for Christmas.

I read somewhere today taht Day Sleeper is not going to be like the rest of
the songs on the album. Day Sleeper is more like their old stuff but the rest
is "experimental"

REM have announced a tour schedule for summer 1999. If I read the
confusing schedule on the NME web article correctly, they will be
appearing at Pine Knob (the big Detroit-area music amphitheatre)
on August 23.
In the NME article, REM denies that they reversed their decision on
touring because of poor album sales for UP.

They've got to have enough money by now that poor sales of one album
don't force them into a tour they don't want to do..

REM is doing a Special Guest Star appearance on the Fox TV show
"Party of Five" next Wednesday, according to the coming attractions which
we just saw.
I just picked up a used copy of UP so I hope to report on it soon.

I caught REM on tour in Hannover, Germany on June 29, and I'm on orders
from Ken to report on the experience. ;-)
Though I hadn't seen them in concert before, I feel secure in saying that
it was damn good. They played a lot of old stuff ("So. Central Rain",
"Fall On Me", "Cuyahoga", and one other song off of Lifes Rich Pageant.),
the usual staples from _Document_ and _Out Of Time_, and 4 tracks from
_Automatic_ ("Everybody Hurts", "Man On The Moon" "Sweetness Follows", and
what Stipe called the 'second cousin' of "Find The River" (it was faster,
and with more guitar, but still about as good as the original). 4 tracks
from _Up_ (all pretty decent -- "Lotus", "Suspicion", "Daysleeper", and
"At My Most Beautiful"). Two new songs, which, I am pleased to report,
were very good. Kind of a mix of _Up_ and _Automatic_. Three complaints --
three tracks from _Monster_ were on the playlist, Stipe made the "Ich bin
ein Berliner" joke that I'd already heard four times since I'd been there,
and this German behind me had the lyrics all wrong. I wanted to hit him.
Oh, and I went with a bunch of hot chicks. Yeah, baby.
So, go see them at Pine Knob. You'll enjoy it. I promise.

I wish I'd seen them at the Michigan Theater back in the day.
I liked them a lot better when Michael Stipe mumbled. They seemed
much more mysterious...

Let's revive this ancient item for the new R.E.M. album, REVEAL, which
is scheduled for release Tuesday.
Tuesday night, R.E.M. are scheduled to play a song from the new album
on the Letterman show.

I'm about three R.E.M. albums behind at this point and don't expect to
ever catch up (or, for that matter, proceed any further..)

I thought New Adventures was okay, but that might just be that I've listened
to it enough to get used to it. Monster was the only album of theirs I've
actively hated; since then, it's all just been mediocre.
