Thanks, Merlin, for reminding me why I LOVED REM so much back in the day. Their mid-1980s records were, and remain, amazing.
R.E.M. - “Harborcoat” (Live, 1984-06-09)
What a canny rhythm section Mills and Berry were.
Also? I always had a special fondness for long-haired, mysterious, pathologically shy, no-eye-liner-havin’ Stipe.
