Actually, it doesn't even look like that, and it would only look surreal to someone who sees the actual stretch each day, so...uh, forget it.

Shit, that wasn't the right video, even...

I think I only bought Monster because it was available on vinyl. Don't think I've listened to it one single time.

me too.  i bought it because michael stipe said is was their "punk rock" record, it was on orange vinyl and thurston moore played guitar on one song. (i don't even remember which one)  it's not even close to punk rock.  i couldn't tell that thurston moore was playing guitar, and the vinyl is still in the same condition it was the day i bought it.  i may have spun that thing twice.  terrible record.  too much chorus and flange.  for r.e.m.    and "star 69"    stupid.  dated forever.  i know you called.

I didn't hear any punk either. I think this might tie into the entire grunge cred discussion from a couple of days past. All I remember is suddenly REM was all dressed to the nineties in their videos. Instead of being marketed as one of the original 80s alt rock bands, one that the others respected (and were ripping off), someone decided to forcibly blend them into the current trends of the time. Realistically though, I think this worked. REM sold more of their shitty album than Throwing Muses sold of a great album.

But yeah, not punk. What´s The Frequency Kenneth reminded me of Love Battery's Between the Eyes, but I honestly don't know if that is just in my head. Ignore the vocals.

i cannot believe i missed the REM conversation! i used to be the biggest REM fan in the world, before i moved my obsession onto the beatles, and then the grifters.

my only comment here is: shiny happy people was on 'out of time', not 'green'. that's all i got right now.

I suppose you would have sex with Michael Stipe, too.
