I remember having a conversation slash argument with my first college roommate about the ninth track on the R.E.M. disc Murmur. I told him that they had purposely mixed it so that the lyrics made no sense. He was convinced that he could decipher...

Michael Stipe is singing as I sit here at work thinking of something to write. There was a time when the R.E.M. album Murmur was an almost daily listen for me. Now I can not remember the last time that I listened to it. Have I changed that much...

Once again I had a peaceful night at work last night and what made it even better was that I got to work alone. The other member of the night shift for Saturday had requested a vacation day so I had the room to myself. It was quiet. I could list...

charts and statistics

2008-08-09T14:41:59Z
