r.e.m. / 13-1-11

for a long time i have enjoyed listening to r.e.m. well, at least until these past few years. since automatic for the people it just hasn't been that good for me. i am not sure why, maybe it is because of the fame, or maybe they are too good as far as musical talent goes. i mean you only get better as you practice and play more and more. it happens to every band. usually the first two, or three albums are the best, then they start sounding washed out.

i think that the albums recorded prior to bill berry leaving were the best. it makes me think that there is more to that than coincidence.

i also found out that he didn't stop playing music after retiring from r.e.m. it seems that he made an album and has done some work post-r.e.m. (besides farming) after all. too bad that finding his music is so hard.

not sure how long the link will last, i do know that the songs can't be downloaded anymore...
