	soundtrack is simply smashing, second only to "would?"
	Can somebody tell me if that song is the type of music they

There has been lots of talk about lyrics for the lastest album (espec.
Sidewinder and Nightswimming).... I'd like the lyrics to ANY REM songs that
have been figured out (to some degree).  I'm especially interested in the
"mumbling days" Michael had in his younger years.  Help.....

I think REM has done a great job of blowing through everyone's
second-guessing about what they'll do next.  OOT was the most commercial,
pop-oriented album to date, and everyone wrote them off as having lost
"it".  AFTP threw it all back in those people's faces.  They continue to
reinvent themselves (ala U2 with Actung) with every album.  I am VERY happy
with their latest venture and anxiously await the next curve they have to
throw us.

Last time I saw Primus play at the Greek Theatre, fIREHOSE, Watt's current
band, was the opener.  He came out during Primus' encore and played bass
along with Les.  It was great!  Les does a lot of high frequency tappy-tap
stuff, and Watt filled in with a truly thundering low-end.  It made me
realise that Les really doesn't put a lot of thunder into his stuff, and
his tapping forces Larry to play higher up on the guitar, so that he doesn't
conflict with Les.

Watt should work with Primus, because he would add another dimension into
the sound.  In fact, mebbe Primus and fIREHOSE should merge - PrimeHOSE!

Have to agree there. Take "Everybody Hurts": just like every other D-G 
progression that a two-bit guitar player like myself can do, even with 
standard plucking arrangement, and then take Michael's voice and the subtle
but somehow dynamic background and R.E.M sounds like they're doing something
completely (well, sort of anyway) original and inspiring.

Well then, could you please tell me what the chorus says??? :-)
Seriously, I think "Sidewinder" is a little obscure in places, and I think
it is in these places that they are doing _something_ which makes them
thank whomever for permission to use the song. I also think the title is
close enough to warrant them asking to use it.

Ignoreland? Well,.........

Well, neither melancholy nor restrained singing would be new for them,
in fact some of my favourite Manicas songs are the restrained ones.
Unfortunatly this album seems to be caught between two stools, lacking
the beauty and power of The Wishing Chair but not having the
barnstorming rhetoric of Blind Man's Zoo. It seems to be an attempt to
produce something more like the old Maniacs, which would be great, but
they forgot to shoot the production staff first.

Um, well... Last I heard, he was involved with this chick from WRAS in

This will really date me, especially in posting to alt.music.alternative, but I
like a lot of older stuff as well.

"The Lion Sleeps Tonight" is an English-language version of a very old South
African song, familiarly known throughout the world as "Wimoweh".  The oldest
version I know of in its original form may be by Miriam Makeba, but Americans
first heard it by the folk group The Weavers (which included Pete Seeger) in 
the early 1950s.  The Kingston Trio further popularized "Wimoweh" in the late
1950s on a live album recorded in San Francisco's "hungry i" nightclub.  Then
the song became "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" with new English lyrics, and it hit
the top of the pop charts in the early 1960s in a version by a group called
The Tokens.  About ten years later, Robert John remade it and hit the top of
the charts (or near it) again.  No doubt numerous others have done covers since
then, because it's now a part of American culture.

I think that this is the case as well.  When Reckoning was originally
released, the phrase "file under water" appeared on the spine as a monument to
the albums "watery metaphors" and as a joke signifying the group's
cateorizational skills.


The later versions, particularly the cd do not have them.  My cd does not,
however, my oldie does.

 I happened to turn on SNL just in time to see Sinead O'Connor's
 a cappella rendition of Bob Marley's "War". I was shocked (as
 was her intention) by her demonstration at the end, where she
 ripped up a picture of the Pope and claimed that he was the 
 cause of all evil...or something to that effect. Since then,
 I've heard all sorts of debate over this demonstration and have
 even heard many ask for boycotts, some to send in tapes/CDs for
 destruction and others claim that she is "mentally ill". Still
 others have said that it will boost record sales, similar to the
 "Too Live Crew" and Ice-T/"Cop Killer" controversies.

 I've heard that in rehearsal, she ripped up a picture of a starving
 child to make her point about oppression, but surprised everyone
 when the show aired live.

 The song is probably one of the most powerful anti-oppresion songs
 ever written and her singing it unaccommpanied was to give it a
 greater conviction.
	Until the basic human rights are equally guaranteed to all
	without regard to race, I've got to say war.

 I think we all agree with human rights and freedom of speech, but
 did she go too far?

Elliott Sharp?

UT?

Scrawl?

Have any of these people done anything lately (like, in the last year or
so)?  Note that they have almost nothing in common, I just found myself
wondering ....

That's "Cradle Song" from the album _Big Night Music_.  You might also
want to check out their previous album, _Oil and Gold_.  Avoid _Go
Bang_ - it's just not worth it.  Anyhow, I have BNM and O&G on
cassette (in pretty good condition), and I'd be willing to part with
them for a few bucks.  Lemme know if you're interested...  Oh, I guess
you already have BNM, but if you want O&G...!
