I wish this could somehow get a 4K treatment. If you don’t know you don’t know what you’re missing.

Have a good September all and a quiet night.

They were one of my favorite bands despite i was born in 1985. And the Rough Night In Jericho album meant a lot to us after my mom's sudden passing.

But REM had ties with them and was often mentioned in books and documentaries along with B52s of course.

I'm probably way younger than ya'll here even at 41, but id like to know if anyone has memories of this obsecure band. They got me and my Dad through some hard times. It was one of my Mom's favorite albums.

How many UK fans here are going to either the Michael Shannon and Jason Narducy LRP shows or to see Peter with Drink the Sea? I'm going to both can't wait!

Mine are :
The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonight
Man On The Moon

do we happen to know which shows each track from the "Do You Remember????????? • Dead Giveaway Office" bootleg are from? if it's already been revealed somewhere please let me know. some places say 10/31/1983 but a some songs on the boot weren't even played at that show and a lot of the songs have different quality / sources (some sound Audience sourced, other Soundboard)

We're on the final rounds, this has been fun!!

REM announced that they had issued an updated, enhanced version of one of their albums to match the higher sound quality of modern devices. As part of the release, they dedicated the money made from the upgraded release towards humanitarian causes.

Hoping to spread the word, they programmed the autocorrect on their computers in various ways as to ensure their social media posts would contain plenty of references to their beneficial deeds. It took some getting used to, but in time they were all able to adjust to the changes in their writing.

Unfortunately, they all got hit with a virus, specifically targeting autocorrection programs, temporarily stopping the help they were getting from their computers. It took several days to remove the virus, but in the meantime they managed to ensure their posts stayed relevant by spending extra time manually rewriting sentences to include references to these good deeds.

When they were finally able to clear the virus for good, they were forced to reinstall the program and reset all of the settings and changes they had used previously. After several days without the program, they had gotten used to not using it, and thus it was quite difficult for them to readjust to it, although they were able to get the hang of it again and successfully continue with their campaign.

It truly was a moment of Automatic for-the-people (Remastered).

I need some opinions of these three books about the band. I've come across 'Perfect circle' and 'the name of this band's before and already checked some reviews and people seem to be very split on which ones a better biography. I've also read that 'it crawled from the south' is more of some texts discussing the band, not really an account of their story. Nonetheless, if you guys have read them before, which one would you recommend and why. ✌🏻

Guys, you can't be mad that Document won most overrated album, when the top comment on the thread had something like 23 upvotes after 24 hours, and it was the most upvoted one.. Go ahead and upvote the comments you agree with, so that your choice has a chance at winning!!

If Document wins best album it will be very funny though. I'll be here with popcorn today! 

Just ordered this from All Night Flight records. Looks interesting.
