I have to say for myself that I enjoyed the new 10,000 Maniacs album. I 
agree that the overall tone is somewhat melancholy but I find the songs
excellent. I like the addition of piano to the main bulk of songs as
well as the use of strings. 
Natalie Merchant's voice was more subdued than on previous recordings but
I would hardly call it "worn out". :-) I also like the harmony she provides
on some of the songs with her voice.
In my opinion, this rates up there with The Wishing Chair (my personal
favorite):-) but I don't think that anyone who liked In My Tribe would
be disappointed.

Subject: Automatic For The People -- I Like It :)

I couldn't resist and went out last night and got it.

All of their albums are different and I like them all in
their own way.... I've been with them since "Reckoning" and while
I've occasionally been disappointed (e.g., Green), I've never hated
an REM album.  

In spirit AFTP is probably closest to Document (dreamy and sweet and
silly and weird), but in terms of musical expansiveness and technical
skill, it is definitely a worthy successor to OOT.  Out of Time 
seemed to me like REM had made "The Perfect Pop Album as done by
REM."  AFTP feels like, all of the pushing the edge of their
creativity that they developed on OOT, all of their experimentation
with instruments and sounds and song styles, they channeled back into
doing "REM does REM," which is how I would also describe Document, although
that album had a less developed musical style -- they were just starting
to move out of the "let's sound like REM is supposed to sound" phase.
Each song on each of those two records feels like they did it just
for themselves, just to do what they want to do, hwereas OOT often
felt more like "let's explore what would happen if we did this type
of song."  That was wonderful in its own way, but there is this special
kind of feeling to AFTP, combining the two strengths, like coming home.
Like realizing they are truly a mature band now and can do anything
they want, and do it well.

OOT and AFTP together, I think, are prime evidence that there is no longer
any such thing as the "standard REM sound."  This is a band that is not
cloning itself endlessly.  They are growing and changing and being
true to an ever expanding vision.  

I'm ususally not this gushy about my music, but I can't think of another
band this decade with that long of staying power, that has grown and
honored its growth so much as they have....

Anyway, thanks, REM!  :)

BTW, I've been having the Golden Palominos song "Boy" that Stipe
wrote and sang going through my head over the last week, and this
morning while listening to "Monty Got a Raw Deal" from AFTP, realized
that I could sing the lyrics to "Boy" to the tune of "Monty" -- same
song structure!  Fun, huh?

I'm trying to figure out the lyrics for "The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite" on

done.
Read through and please mail me corrections or fill in the blanks to
Ahn@pop.cis.yale.edu            Thanks!

By the way, on the issue of what exactly the chorus is...it sounds as if
they purposely warbled the vocals (post production or as they sang it).
What's below is the best I could make out of it.

yeah, the two were definite opposites.  I guess I was referring to childhood
as being something around the 9th grade, when they met.  So...it's not
THAT young.

Yeah, there was the pot thing with Bill, but the two came closer with
their taste in music...then the whole jamming thing took off.  When they
moved to Athens in 1979 they were incredibly close.

I don't think he owns the tapes for *Two Halves*.  If I recall
correctly, it was released without his knowledge or consent, and I
believe he doesn't much care for it, which may be one reason why we
haven't seen multiple reissues of it, like we have of everything
else.  (Or *any* reissues, for that matter.)

*Portland Arms* may be a matter of sound quality.  If ever an album
was made for the "this medium may expose certain defects of the
master tape" disclaimer, this is it.  If it ever is rereleased, I
hope they include the Bucketfull of Brains flexi with Kimberley Rew
doing his version of that old Wink Martindale classic, "Deck of
Cards."

Someone posted the title of a newly domestic biography, but that was not the 
one I had in mind.  

The one that I was thinking of is called R.E.M. Remarks and IS available  
through Waldenbooks,etc.  If they dont have it it can be ordered, I am certain.

Best value for $10 IMHO.

Chris,
      I believe that before Warsaw, they were know as the Still-Borns  
because one of their friends (I can't remember who and what band he was  
in) had a kitten who had a litter of still-borns.  An awefully sick sense  
of humor, I think...and a far cry from their other names.

	As far as I know, the newest from Primus is an EP with four
	cover versions on it. I can't remember the bands they have
	covered on their new EP but listening to it was quit impressing.
	The bass player, Les Claypool - correct me, if I spelled this 
	wrong -, uses a 6-string fretless bass on some of the songs, 
	if you know what he can do with a normal bass, you know what 
	to expect on this EP !
	I also heard a rumour that Les Claypool is to be voted "best
	bass player of the year". I have no idea who or what is voting 
	him, so can anybody throw some light on this ? Thanx !
