Titolo: Dalla viva voce di Peter Buck...

 
One of the most popular songs on the current tour is "High Speed Train."
"Just on a sonic level, it's so great for us to play," he said. "It's a
really powerful sounding song. When we started the tour, I thought we might
play it once a week. But we've been playing it every night and just loving
it."
Da buona jumpers la "voglio" anche a Milano...

Una voce interessante che sta girando in questo momento sul forum di
murmurs: 
I rem avrebbero chiesto a Joseph Arthur di studiarsi la parte di Patti
Smith (nn è che ci sia poi tutto questo lavoro.. ;D) in E-Bow... dico
solo questo ;)

questo è sempre Peter che ormai spopola per le sue simpatiche
dichiarazioni:
For me a record is a sea of possibilities," says Buck. "When you start
it out, it could be anything. Then the possibilities start
disappearing and it becomes the record you buy." The album’s not even
out yet, and the critic in him is already deconstructing and
reconstructing the album in countless possible ways. "My record would
be, believe it or not, even slower and more acoustic," he says, citing
'On the Fly,' a slow song he considers among the five best R.E.M. has
ever recorded but, nevertheless, is not appearing on the new album,
Around the Sun. 
"I like records that kind of hold a mood," he continues. "No one’s
ever said, ‘Gosh, that Nick Drake record Five Leaves Left doesn’t
really have a rocker.’ That’s not the way I look at that kind of
stuff, so I would have probably gone slower. I think Michael would
have had a couple faster ones and Mike, I think he got pretty close to
what he wanted, but I think we all did." He then lists songs he
would’ve taken off, including 'Aftermath' and the soulful 'Ascent of
Man.' 
Peter voleva canzoni ancora più lente... :)))))))
Michael ne voleva due più veloci, Mike è a posto 
Per fortuna non hanno lasciato fuori il cactusss!! ;)

tra l'altro contiene per me una delle descrizioni più azzeccate e
'sentite' di quello che sono stati i Rem ..." il loro catalogo è
durato nel tempo soprattutto per il loro caldo e personale modo di
essere come un maglione realizzato a mano o  una tazza di zuppa fatta
in casa... un approccio diretto e obliquo, imperioso e ingenuo allo
stesso tempo" :D
R.E.M.'s early catalogue has endured, largely because of its warm,
personal feel-like a handmade sweater or a cup of homemade soup. From
the start, expressions of genuine concern like "So. Central Rain" and
good advice like "(Don't Go Back to) Rockville" held an intimate place
in the kudzu-wrapped hearts of music lovers who appreciated the band's
homespun approach to its craft-an approach both direct and oblique,
masterful and naïve. In its infancy, R.E.M. was a refreshing break
from the polished, arena-rock excess of groups like Journey and the
contrived quirkiness of the New Romantic bands being shipped over from
England. 
[CUT]
Maps and Legends
Although R.E.M. was very much a product of its environment, the band
seemingly created art in a vacuum. By eschewing trends and outside
influences, it made Southern America seem suddenly exotic, even to
their countrymen. Hailing from a region previously known mostly for
red clay and rednecks, they were refreshingly literate and eccentric-a
lead singer who claimed he could predict earthquakes, a bass player
who supposedly could smell ants, and a guitarist who shared his
audience's undying faith in the redemptive power of rock 'n' roll.
Dealing in jangly rhythms and whispered impressions, R.E.M. truly was
the stuff of dreams. 
Growing up listening to tracks like "Camera" and "Perfect Circle," I
became utterly convinced Stipe was capable of channeling random
thoughts from the spirits of those long departed-a conviction born out
by his haunting performance of "Swan Swan H" in the movie Athens, Ga.
Inside/Out [see the Paste DVD sampler]. In an abandoned Southern
Gothic church, Stipe transformed his angelic 26-year-old frame into
that of a twittering Civil War veteran with the weight of a new
century on his shoulders. That musicians of such artistic
accomplishment could walk the streets of their sleepy college town as
ordinary citizens added significantly to their mystique. 
Ciao!

Già, proprio quella che mi piace di meno :-(  (ed è una ciofeca pure live) e
naturalmente la splendida Aftermath non gli piace :-( ! Si vede che l'ha
fatta Mike...
Facessero + canzoni da ATS, almeno la presenza della ciofeca sarebbe +
giustificabile, invece non si sprecano a farle. La stessa Wanderlust non
sarà un capolavoro, ma live è un amore!
Ciao,

Io adoro Wanderlust!!!!!!Mi fa morire!Mi fa pensare alla musica di
sottofondo durante un'esibizione circense!!


Eh eh intenditore il buon Peter...
