Now, make no mistake: I don't think for a minute that Mills' somewhat John Denver-esque tenor is as rich or distinctive an instrument as Stipe's through-the-nose baritone. Nowadays, for whatever reason, Senor Stipe doesn't seem to want the competition/complement. Mills' backing vocals were always one of the things I found especially effective (and affecting) about R.E.M. And I've decided to fill it out with tracks sung by R.E.M. Thus, in the spirit of the "holiday" season, we present yet another handy-dandy zip-file with some appropriately loose and festive selections. Which leaves me ferreting around their vast back-catalogue to rediscover the FUN stuff.
Alas, in recent years, their studio efforts have sounded. There was a time when my once-beloved R.E.M. We're going to call this a "holiday" package today, and Bill O'Reilly can just shove that up his tight, fat, insufferable ass. The Whitlams/"Jesus Has Got an Erection (And I'm in the Mood for Romance)" Just please leave your faith at the door it'll be waiting for you when you leave.Įnd of rant (till this same time next year) (or, maybe, Easter). But then, this is supposed to be a place for the sharing of music - nothing more - and all are welcome here.
THE DECEMBERISTS PICARESQUE ZIP SKIN
Makes me want to tear my skin off and set my eyes on fire.Īll of this is to say that I have rather bitter feelings toward Christmas. Yet, something like 90% of Americans believe in some sort of deity. I'd just as soon believe in ghosts (oh, wait a minute, there are whole RELIGIONS that believe in ghosts), UFOs, Big Foot, or the possibility of the United States electing Hillary Clinton president in 2008. Doesn't matter how long they've been around or how many members they claim to have they're all cults based on utter nonsense.
