R.E.M - Automatic For The People (1992)
R.E.M has got a bad rap from our Shut Up and Listen group over recent years. I can’t recall anyone playing an R.

commentsThe themes were: An iconic, revered track that challenges the mainstream., A stand-alone track or one that is representative of an album not appreciated at “the time” but redeemed by further scrutiny., Let the fireworks begin - it’s Guy Fawkes after-all.
commentsDie Antwoord still goes down as one of my most gob smacking live music moments ever. Entering the big Boiler Room dance tent completely cold and expecting nothing, I encountered little pixie Yo Landi Vi$$er in full flight “ah ah ah, I am your butterfly - I need your protection”
commentsThe Lips have always been very generous with their non-standard CD releases - if you can find them. Most of their seminal records, including “The Soft Bulletin” “Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots” and “At War With The Mystics”, are also available with bonus 5.
comments“Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!” There’s no getting away from it, a great song will always be a great song.
commentsIt’s 6 days since I’ve actually sat down and listened to a full record. Family do take precedence, especially when there’s tiny tots involved, but it is a sacrifice you make never the less.
commentsAnother great haul today. I’ve been eyeing up the vinyl bins at TWH lately ready to pounce. I bought a swag the other day but this Kiwi classic, a 25 Year Anniversary remaster, was still retailing for $49.
commentsTalk about eclectic! This is just about the epitome of it. Jarvis Cocker the un-coolest/cool person on the planet, does a snapshot of seven years of his Sunday afternoon radio show.
commentsAnother cheapie from The Warehouse. As I’ve stated before, you need to loiter there at least once a week and you will usually be handsomely rewarded.
commentsA fantastic second outing for this Oxfordian power trio. Barely out of nappies when they wrote this, I’m thinking to myself “I bet a lot of musicians wish they wrote that one.
