Still salty that she left us with such a limited œuvre. Imagine her stylings maturing à la Ella.

Aw, my first band ever covered that song!

Well, turns out this is just some AI slop, so I swiftly removed it from our “to do” list.

I can likely come up with similar lyrics & better music, anyway :wink:

Has anyone (@brisket44, @KAOSKitchen perhaps) gone to the Narducy-led Lifes Rich Pageant tour? They’ll be in Boston soon and I’m itching to go…if it’s worth the effort. R.E.M. is a band I regret never seeing live but I wonder if this would be a satisfying substitute?

B and I have both loved Snail Mail since she was so freaking young. The talent!!

No, they played in SF recently, but I’m at the stage where 80 percent of the shows I see have to be on a Friday or Saturday night lol - I can’t do weekdays and function properly at work the next day.

I saw R.E.M. in 1989 at the Meadowlands in NJ, big arena. My roommate at the time was from Athens and knew Michael Stipe from there, so we chatted a bit in the lobby after the show - he was really low key.

More like 100% for me. Boston show is a Friday night, which, aside from LRP being my favorite REM album, makes it even more tempting.

He and a couple of his bandmates happened to sit at the table next to us at a beer garden in Berlin the summer they were recording an album in Berlin in 2010. I wasn’t sure at first whether it was him, bc there are lots of middle-aged bald guys in that city :smiley:

My PIC confirmed my suspicion. Nobody bothered them, of course, including us. They had absolutely zero pretensions.

Haha - I’m probably exaggerating - more like 90% for me. I’m seeing Courtney Barnett on a Thursday this summer, and saw Amyl and the Sniffers on a Tuesday, so I make exceptions.

But if your show is on a Friday I vote you do it - I’ve never regretted going to a show, only regretting not going.
