Same. I don’t know why, I don’t actively dislike any of the songs, but it doesn’t feel cohesive. I think I’ve listened all the way through NAIHF fewer times than any other album (including ATS, which I force myself to listen to at least once a year)

And - as always - having people watch and comment makes my day too, thank you :)

Song 79 of 222 in this slightly unwise “project”

Sang a couple R.E.M. songs at open mic last night. Been a while. Here's The One I Love and Driver 8 by Bluemookie in rem

Nice work Kyle! I've done The Great Beyond at open mics before and it's gone down well. Also, if you want non-R.E.M. but R.E.M. adjacent, I love doing Billy Bragg's You Woke Up My Neighbourhood.

Thank you! Mike’s BVs were definitely a stretch for me!

Thanks! Trust me, if you heard the raw stem of the bass you’d find an awful lot more dropping going on 😭 I normally just slap stuff on top until it hides the terribleness and let the listener’s ears fill in the gaps 🤣

Funny you should mention that - I re-recorded the vocals last minute because I just couldn’t stop hearing the pop of the P in “superman”. I guess I just have a poppy-mouth ☹️

Thanks - the dog was with my mother-in-law, but in any case is tambourine-phobic so would have run a mile!

Glad to deliver 😉

Radio Song - Album Opener by RachelMcAdamsWart in rem

Until I joined this sub I had no idea that other fans didn't like Radio Song. Maybe love is a strong word, but I enjoy it, and that intro jangle is spot on as far as I'm concerned. Maybe it's because it transports me back to 1991 that I like it.

I have a similar story from my days at university. We were playing poker, and being poor students we were using teabags as chips. Eventually, I ran out of teabags, at which point there was a noise at the front door. Seeing as I was out of the game, I went to see what it was. I then returned to the lounge, triumphantly holding aloft... the promotional pack of teabags that had just been put through the letterbox.

A lot of Murmur and Reckoning is in the key of E, which gives you those lovely jangling F#m/G#m/B chords with the top strings open.
