OMFG R.E.M. are SOOOOO Greedy

I'm not saying the music was better in the 80s... I'm saying the original CD sound quality is shit

That's what I was saying, too. I actually do feel more connected to their earlier stuff just because they were one of those bands I knew about before their first record came out because a friend of mine knew them and turned me on to them early on and by the time they peaked (I agree that was around the time of Automatic and Out of Time) I was just into other things more.

I always thought that was intentional.

Evidently! I sure didn't catch any more lyrics from "Life and How to Live It" in the 7th row Sunday night.

You have to admit, though, that Pitchfork's Out of Cash graphic was pretty funny.
