Lots of REM lately because of the new "R U Talking REM RE: ME?" podcast. God damn that first EP, Chronic Town, and Murmur are incredible. I listened to the Deluxe Edition of Murmur last night with the live show from '83 added on and holy wow. Why did I never really consider REM to be as great as they are. Stipe is just an incredible singer and Buck's guitar parts are straight out of that Roger McGuinn playbook. I'm kind of just listening along to these as they release new episodes of the podcast, but I can't wait to hear the next album. I am going to restrain myself though, because I don't want to just tear through all the albums and burn myself out on the band.
It's kind of all I want to keep listening to right now, but I've been throwing on some Bowie. Mostly Ziggy Era stuff is what I've been craving lately. I've been listening to a good bit of Canadian 90's rock lately too. Matthew Goode, Gandharvas....mainly those two bands, but yeah...Murmur is great.
