#REMtop30 6. Fall On Me Lyrics that are more relevant today than ever, plus those harmonies! 😍 youtu.be/lf6vCjtaV1k?...

#last4albums Last Friday was an unbelievable day for new albums edition!

#REMtop30 7. Drive Great lyrics, and musically absolutely outstanding - Mike's subtle bassline, beautiful acoustic guitar and a great solo from Peter, and those strings 😍 youtu.be/-UE7tXDKIus?...

#REMtop30 8. Low Brilliantly sequenced to follow Losing my Religion on Out of Time, such a downbeat song, I absolutely love it youtu.be/QqVI_CHlFAI?...

#REMtop30 9. What's the Frequency Kenneth?" The first REM song I can remember hearing, as I was getting into music in a big way for the first time around 93/94. Bonus points for sneaking in "Don't Fuck With Me" into the lyrics of a song that still gets regular airplay! youtu.be/jWkMhCLkVOg?...

#REMtop30 17. It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine) It can be a bit underrated due to over familiarity, but you'd forget just what a brilliant tune it is. youtu.be/Z0GFRcFm-aY?...

#NowPlaying #Diiv #VinylCommunity Still on a high after the amazing gig in Dublin on Monday night, they were absolutely outstanding @diivmp3.bsky.social

#NowPlaying #Suede #VinylCommunity The sleeve is unbelievably annoying, it's basically just a poster that doesn't even hold the record properly. The music is stunning though, they've knocked it out of the park yet again, what a band

Turns out I am wrong, it was played on the Monster tour, but never played again after 1995
