YouTube - Find The River

^That is a gorgeous, gorgeous song. Nightswimming and Find the River back to back are PERFECTION.

New Album Title:

COLLAPSE INTO NOW

Lizzybear · 16-10-2010, 03:50 AM

^ long bump!

I still like their newer stuff, but noting beats 90s R.E.M.

CockleHocker · 16-10-2010, 04:35 AM

Thanks for bumping this Liz! One of my absolute favourite bands ever! I've seen them live 4 times, I think. Each of the gigs were fantastic.

Can't wait for the new album!

Lizzybear · 16-10-2010, 06:18 AM

When did you see them?

I want to see them live one day too, however I don't think anything could beat when them and Blur toured together

I wish I had been around for that!

bjaiken · 16-10-2010, 07:11 AM

I am always surprised that R.E.M. does not get more love on this board. I would think that they would be a band that fits well with the tastes of people on this board.

This is one band that I listen to on occasion, but need to listen to some more. When they are on, they are as good as it gets.

The Wrong Child is one of my all time favourite songs.

What??? They toured together? I think my brain just exploded! When was that?

Ok, I saw them first in 2003 and then in the summer of 2004 and they came back again the february of the following year. I bought tickets for that straight away after the summer one! I couldn't not go. And then I saw them on the third night of that 5 night rehearsal thing they did in 2007, I think. They were all amazing. It was a lot, but it was so worth it. I hope they tour again after the release of the new album. I'm lucky though, 'cause they seem to like coming here!

Yay new album, they were rather good at the rose bowl with editors & guillemots supporting them, in 2008

oldmuckers · 04-11-2010, 04:29 AM

I believe they did.. I can't remember what year though

Small world too, I read an interview with Chris Martin and said he saw Blur open for R.E.M. and he loved how they "cooked the audience. Damon Albarn had to cool the pit down by splashing water on them with his water bottle"

Also, Alex's book he wrote. He talks about him and Micheal Stipe for a bit, I guess Alex started dating one of Stipe's ex girlfriends and Micheal warned him about her LOL so typical Alex.

I'm so jealous you've seen them though

they are so amazing, I need to see them at some point.

Oh wow! That's amazing!

I love that Chris Martin quote - the water, oh god the water. I'm totally prepared to be soaked by the end of the Gorillaz concert (

).

Chris loves REM, doesn't he. It's cute how much of a fanboy he is over Michael. Didn't he buy a lunchbox designed by Michael for around £18000? It was for charity, but still really cute.

Yeh, I got really excited at that part of the book! I really wasn't expecting that

. The music world really is tiny though, isn't it? There are connections all over the place.

And OMG, if you get the chance - do it. You will not regret it!
