❤️ that album

misheleneous.bsky.social•35 days ago

Its loved by so many 👌

thehaj.bsky.social•35 days ago

And now I’m thinking about Dylan and Brenda breaking up on 90210 as Losing My Religion plays.

misheleneous.bsky.social•34 days ago

Blimey that's a throwback! Although I admit that show really wasnt my thing 😆

lisanator77.bsky.social•35 days ago

Hello internet stranger. I LOVE that album! I'm gonna go listen to it!

misheleneous.bsky.social•35 days ago

*waves* 👋 We're only internet strangers till we start waffling on about music together 😁 Listen to it twice for good measure, like I did earlier. You wont regret it 👍

thatplaygroundguy.bsky.social•35 days ago

This is a great album but Automatic for The People is a Masterpiece musically and lyrically from top to bottom.

snormanca.bsky.social•35 days ago

That’s a good one. Document is my favorite though

misheleneous.bsky.social•35 days ago

Agreed - but it hasnt got 'Time' in the Album title, and i'm taking part in the #AlphabetChallenge #WeekTforTime - so them's the breaks! 😄

morrisbt.bsky.social•35 days ago

It is a great album. My personal fave is New Adventures, though, and I love LRP (although discerning lyrics back in the day was a job, in itself!).

misheleneous.bsky.social•35 days ago

I was always massively chuffed if LPs or cassettes included the lyrics to songs as it was a potential source of crushing teenage embarrassment to be found out singing the wrong words 🙈😆

thatplaygroundguy.bsky.social•35 days ago

Seeing how you live in the UK, did you ever see the clip of Michael and Mike doing Nightswimming on Later with Jools Holland acoustic with only a piano? It’s exquisite 👌

misheleneous.bsky.social•35 days ago

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KVT0S0j7F9Y

Exquisite and effortless

thatplaygroundguy.bsky.social•35 days ago

YES!!! This clip never gets old. I could watch it once a week. The way Michael looks at Mike playing the piano with such respect for talent. Ok fine..I’ll be listening to the vinyl tonight. 😁

morrisbt.bsky.social•35 days ago

Oh yes! 😳 REM have just rereleased Radio Free Europe - I wonder if I’ll finally get to know the lyrics! 🤭

misheleneous.bsky.social•35 days ago

😆😆 we can yell them at each other J

stewardace.bsky.social•35 days ago

Green, Automatic for the People, Out of Time and Monster- one of the greatest runs of albums ever.

misheleneous.bsky.social•35 days ago

Oh to be that talented 🔥🎸

1littlendian.bsky.social•35 days ago

Seeing this made me want watch one of my favorite Music Videos of all time again - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKKqLl_ZEEY

misheleneous.bsky.social•35 days ago

And now i've watched it again too! Where do we even stop with the awesomeness of R.E.M? 🤷‍♀️

mxgeorgiegirl.bsky.social•35 days ago

🎶👌

morrisbt.bsky.social•35 days ago

Well of course you love M’s fave song on this album from her absolute favourite band! She would rewind her cassette to listen to HAWA, Texarkana and Country Feedback on repeat! Xxx 😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰

misheleneous.bsky.social•35 days ago

Tell her she's my kinda gal Cracker 😄 #GreatMinds 😘

morrisbt.bsky.social•35 days ago

Def #GreatMinds 😘
She says she was up your way in 99 seeing them at the MEN! xxx

misheleneous.bsky.social•35 days ago

Wow '99 - something really has to be done about all this time rocketing by! 😖

vinylconstituency.bsky.social•35 days ago

This is SUCH a great album that helped me see out my final year at High School. Love. 👏🏻🙌🏻

misheleneous.bsky.social•35 days ago

I was in my last year at art college and it was never off my turntable. Still in good nick all these years later too! How can it be all that time ago though? 😳🙈😄

vinylconstituency.bsky.social•35 days ago

Yeah, life comes at you and it doesn’t stop. If I had known back then what I know now, I’d have done more with my hair. 😂

misheleneous.bsky.social•35 days ago

🤣🤣🤣 you & me both except i'm hugely allergic to hair dye, so that crimped my style a bit. Although I DID crimp my style with the heated tongs, in the height of my 80s goth look. Its a miracle I have any left as the hairspray I used caught alight while I was smoking a ciggie in the wind outside! 🚬😳🙈

billycairn.bsky.social•35 days ago

🤣🤣🤣🤣

misheleneous.bsky.social•35 days ago

I smelt like burnt feathers for weeks Billy!

owenthesignal.bsky.social•35 days ago

Mine is Texarkana.
Not often heard and never in their live set, but love these lines:

40,000 stars in the evening
Look at them fall from the sky
40,000 reasons for living
40,000 tears in your eye

I would give my life to find it
I would give it all
Catch me if I fall

chicken4dayz.bsky.social•35 days ago

Texarkana, definitely

misheleneous.bsky.social•34 days ago

We're spoilt for choice 👍

misheleneous.bsky.social•35 days ago

Another very top tune and Mike Mills lyrics and voice are fantastic 👌 Such a great band

tjdcrny.bsky.social•35 days ago

That record player is a terrible thing to do to a great LP.

misheleneous.bsky.social•35 days ago

I'm self employed mate - I buy what I can afford

ahbrizzle.bsky.social•35 days ago

Great album. My favourite is still Green. First of theirs I heard and the one that catapulted them from cult status to rock gods. I was lucky enough to see them on the tour promoting it. Still one of the bests gigs I’ve been to.

misheleneous.bsky.social•35 days ago

Stand being one of my faves off that album, but I was very heavily biased towards goth music in 1988/89 so my attention didnt fully turn to them till Out Of Time 😄

ahbrizzle.bsky.social•35 days ago

That makes sense then 😊

misheleneous.bsky.social•35 days ago

I'm not even sorry 😆 #sorrynotsorry

ahbrizzle.bsky.social•35 days ago

🤣🤣

erin6.bsky.social•35 days ago

Agreed. One of the greatest albums ever made.

sheena-mck.bsky.social•35 days ago

That’s why I’ve started posting my theme playlists 😊

misheleneous.bsky.social•35 days ago

I'm not sufficiently tech sophisticated enough to have playlists Sheena! I have a Turntable and a CD/Tape Player - that's it 😆

sheena-mck.bsky.social•35 days ago

We have them all 😂

misheleneous.bsky.social•35 days ago

You're hip with the kids obvs 😄

sheena-mck.bsky.social•35 days ago

The hippest pensioner in town 😂

misheleneous.bsky.social•35 days ago

😆😆

manchesteve.bsky.social•35 days ago

Can you all guess what we are now listening too

misheleneous.bsky.social•35 days ago

Twice over 😄

webbyjameshere.bsky.social•35 days ago

Now you’re talking, top tunes 🤙🏼

misheleneous.bsky.social•35 days ago

I always do - its just your taste that's deficient James 😜😄

webbyjameshere.bsky.social•35 days ago

i-am-your-ghost.bsky.social•35 days ago

invading this post with my tape cassette, as that Album frequently rotates thru my Walkman as well :>

there's just something soothing about unplugging and listening to media that's not attached to a smart device

misheleneous.bsky.social•35 days ago

I'm with you 💯 on this. Still got a walkman, still got a turntable, bought a CD/Radio/Tape player several years ago so we can play the tons of cassettes and very few CDs we have (could never get into CDs tbh 😖). Its a pure joy 🎧

Plus, I wouldnt know how to stream to save my life...😆🙈

patheticmeat.bsky.social•35 days ago

Love this album.

misheleneous.bsky.social•35 days ago

It never gets old 🔥
