i've never gotten into REM. i can list probably 10 songs that i really like, but just never really dove into albums, except for Monster and New Adventures – i dig both of those. might give it a try today at work.

you know how Spotify will continue playing similar music after you finish an album or a playlist?
the only problem i have with REM is that i feel like i've reached the point where Spotify is playing random stuff after an album, and i look down and i'm only halfway through the record

I've been listening to Karma Police regularly for 20 years now, and I still get chills at the end of the song. From the first note of the backup singers during the "for a minute there..." section until the feedback grinds to a halt. Goosebumps. Every time.

Roundabout is better than Steely Dan's entire catalogue.

Hats by The Blue Nile is a perfect 80s pop album. 7 songs, 38 minutes of poppy, synthy after-hours melancholia.

It is. I wasn't aware that the general consensus was that it was pretentious, bloated, and nowhere near the quality of The Downward Spiral. Pitchfork gave it a 2.0 for fuck's sake. I can understand one's desire to trim it down to ~80 mins, but there are some outstanding songs on there, and quite a bit of variety by industrial/rock standards.

The great thing about listening to the various waves is that you can play them at 2x speed and get another experience out of them. That's economical!

Fuck I've been listening to so much old music for nostalgic reasons that now I associate them to the present rather than the past, so the nostalgic rush is ruined. ruined!

I found a Now That's What I Call Music UK mega torrent a little while ago that had all of them from #1 onwards. It was weird hearing some songs that I hadn't heard since they were released right next to other songs that crossed time to be hits even thirty years later.
