What R.E.M. advice is good advice? Walk unafraid, be clumsy instead What else? #remadvice

R.E.M.• Gang of Four's 'We Live As We Dream Alone'• '89 "We're not born in isolation, but sometimes it seems that way... we live as we dream alone." @remhq.bsky.social @gangoffour.bsky.social

Wouldn't want to contradict Mike but New Adventures is in front of Automatic in my book.

“It usually takes a few good years for me to decide where an album stands in the pantheon of recorded work we’ve done. This one may be third behind Murmur and Automatic For The People.” - Mike Mills in Mojo, 1996 New Adventures In Hi-Fi was released on this day in 1996. What’s your favorite 🎵?

Same!

Any other lyrics— don’t even try chronic town murmur or reckoning btw— just form vowels and syllables, and mean it

We loved both - the mystery and the poetry...

The lyrics were correct on the old fan site on retroweb 🙌

Very loose Good Omens reference in Thursday Murder Club? 🤔

This really made my day 💥

It’s a sign of the times, indeed 🎸 open.spotify.com/track/6u4Z42...

Got some serious lizard side eye while attempting to check the mail. Must be a grouchy teenager. 👀🦎

Still my fave

David Tennant AND Robert Carlyle!?! 😍

I recognize how problematic Rowling is, and how unhealthy Krispy Kreme is, but I can't say that I'm not tempted 😈 👀

Y'all! The ducks! The DUCKS!

We need DC statehood NOW.

I'm comfort re-reading Old Vines on AO3. Still one of my faves. 🍇🪽🐍 #goodomens

It’s just occurred to me. It’s exactly 500 years until the year 2525! youtu.be/0JkhCGt3U4g?...

Not sure I completely grasp this but I know a LLM could never make a lyric like "wrap your heel in bones of steel" emotionally resonant.

Starting the progeny on Discworld

The new studio album from Luke Haines and Peter is out now. Going Down To The River ...To Blow My Mind is available on CD, vinyl, streaming and download 👉 cherryred.co/BlowMyMind

Just had a chance to watch this. Love DNC and R.E.M., the REM references/Easter eggs are a lot of fun. The Stand recreation was especially funny.

This weekend marks yet another leg of our comprehensive tour of the Rialto Room! Sunday is sold out, with a few tickets left for the recently added Monday show. I’m pictured here helpfully pointing at the tour poster. Probably didn’t need to point, but I couldn’t figure out what to do with my hands.

R.E.M. every single time 😉

Seriously people 🕊️

#ColorTheMusic #MusicChallenge June 21 - 👀🩵👀 A Velvet's classic that lingers on with so many covers. R.E.M.'s B side also appears on Dead Letter Office. An early clip from the Capital Theatre in New jersey. Pale Blue Eyes • R.E.M. (Live 1984)  youtu.be/KEEDxQ-xl40...

Y'all - I can't get to Mexico in January, but this looks amazing!

My kid found an R.E.M. reference in a graphic novel, looks at me hopefully and asks, "so you were the cool kids, right?" 😳

Enjoy this coloring sheet to celebrate No Kings Day! And then burn it along with any voodoo dolls for maximum effect. #nokingsday

#Diplomacy is the only safeguard against devastation. As violence escalates between Israel and Iran, we call for an immediate #ceasefire and a return to honest #negotiations. Peace is still possible, but only if we choose it. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

Doesn't seem that radical

I love this beautifully filmed, darkly fragile, and almost spooky video of Until the Day is Done.

BIG NEWS : We launched our new record label today. It’s been a good one - benefiting @democracyforward. Thank you to everyone, ( 100s of you !!!) who’ve ordered. bsgeneralstore.com/products/dem...
