Yeah, it will be, for sure. That one and Wolfs, Lower from Chronic Town. They will appear later in the list. I think I'm going to try to keep it to 50 songs.

You're spending an awful lot of time in the REM thread for a guy who is supposed to be making playlist for other artists....

I've got your St. Vincent list prepped. I just want to listen to it once through before I send it along.

I'm most of the way through Trag's Shellac playlist. Once I've absorbed that I'm going to move on to those other two. But I'm at work and I keep getting interrupted. So I don't want to focus on those lists until I'm off work.

R.E.M. - Living Well Is The Best Revenge (3:11)
R.E.M. - Disturbance at the Heron House (3:32)
R.E.M. - Life and How to Live It (4:08)
R.E.M. - Sitting Still (3:18)
R.E.M. - Walk Unafraid (4:33)
R.E.M. - Let Me In (3:28)
R.E.M. - Final Straw (MoveOn Mix) (4:07)
R.E.M. - (Don't Go Back to) Rockville (4:33)
R.E.M. - Country Feedback (4:09)
R.E.M. - Swan Swan H (2:50)
R.E.M. - Gardening at Night (3:29)
R.E.M. - Turn You Inside Out (4:17)
R.E.M. - Revolution (3:04)
R.E.M. - Leave (7:17)
R.E.M. - New Orleans Instrumental No. 1 (2:15)
R.E.M. - She Just Wants to Be (5:22)

R.E.M. - It Happened Today (3:48)
R.E.M. - Nightswimming (4:18)
R.E.M. - Find The River (3:49)

That's a baller mix, Andy. I LOVE that.

Needs more "Hope".

Yeah, you could swap Let Me In out and put Hope in there and I'd be okay with that.

That would flow a lot better, for sure.

Actually, for that to work, you'd have to get "Let Me In" back towards the rear of the mix. Maybe instead of "It Happened Today?"

Post by **epilogue** » Thu January 24, 2019 9:41 pm

The only problem I have with Andy's list is that there is no Bittersweet Me. I can't get enough of that goddamn song.

washing machine · Post by **washing machine** » Thu January 24, 2019 9:42 pm

Yeah, WTF Andy?

Let Me In would be a great penultimate song.

I'm also gonna go for a hot take here and say:

"Carnival of Sorts" > "Gardening at Night"

Watching Perfect Square now. I love that concert.

Based on the R U Talkin' REM Re: Me? pod, I'd have to say that's not a super hot take. Errrybody had that on their top 10 lists.

I love Sweetness Follows. I feel like this is a seriously underrated song.
