https://whatismusic.buzzsprout.com/ Anyone else listening to this podcast from What is Music? "R.E.M. joying This?" LOVE the Big Mates from UK and their deep dive on Radiohead's discography is also great. Highly recommend. Next Monday they discuss 'Fables of the Reconstruction' |

This July, they covered R.E.M.’s Murmur in tribute to its 40th anniversary at Chicago’s Metro, a show where Mike Mills ended up joining the band. They had so much fun, they decided to turn it into a short tour, playing the whole album and other songs from R.E.M.’s catalog. so this is on sunday night and i am excited for it. they did an interview with a local critic and sounds like they'll be playing the album AND chronic town, which probably should have occurred to me as a possibility but just made me more excited about it all. i'm not expecting musical perfection by any means, but hopefully they do it some justice, and it will be nice to hear these songs that i'd likely otherwise never hear in a live setting. r.e.m. did play shaking through at the last show of theirs i saw in 2008, which was an unexpected and pleasant surprise. |

man, that was a LOT of fun. if you are in a position to go you really should. band was good and while they stayed true to the songs they added their own bits to some of them like an extended outro to perfect circle. michael shannon is no michael stipe vocally but he very clearly loved getting into and performing these songs. definitely weird seeing zod singing old r.e.m. songs (and true to form he refused to play superman). country feedback was my highlight- wholly unexpected. the last part of the show they were totally winging it- crowd was into it so they just kept playing, ended up being close to 2 1/2 hours. looks like we got a good chunk of reckoning, which i guess they are playing on two-night stands, as a result.

and now the whole band appeared together on stage for the first time since 2007. https://www.brooklynvegan.com/all-of-r- ... ideo-pics/ bill, mike, and peter sat in on different songs throughout the night, but michael came out near the end with the rest to say a few words. |

I think Berry, Buck, and Mills all sat in on various songs. |

I know it's not rated too highly around these parts, but I'm currently spinning Reveal and I think this is the perfect breezy summer album |

It is a great mood record, and better as an album than a collection of songs |

Lifting, Saturn Returns, Beachball, and Chorus and the Ring are great |

I’m not a big REM fan. Kind of a greatest hits kind of guy. But I listened to Monster today out of complete nowhere. |
