Jarvis Cocker is actually in one of my favorite movies.

"Common People" starts around 90 bpm and by the end, it's sped up to around 160 bpm.
This is very important.

This band was ridiculously consoling to me in 1986.

I super need to re-read the gospels. 😔

It's so comforting for me to get glimpses of when it was still fun sometimes.

Kaye, I steal from that show SO much.
"It's a start."
Thank you, Kaye.
It's insane how much this song changed.
This song has really good bones plus this demo has a great-sounding Rickenbacker 12-string front and center.

He had Captain Beefheart levels of band mania.
We are definitely going to talk about this.
This is might be the one that made me a Trash Theory super-fan.

Trash Theory is one of my favorite YouTube channels, and this would be a good introduction to why that is.
Lotta effort goes into making something this good.

It's kind of miraculous that "Blazing Saddles" (1974) ever got made.
And this BTS video is a surprisingly wholesome delight.

I'd love to talk about your corrections.
I have some thoughts on the typesetting decisions.
The instruments are all pre-recorded, but Stipe insisted on doing his vocals live.
I'm so glad he insisted on that.
The entire bass part. Jesus.
I think it was probably one night on Friday Night Videos.
I'd come home from my busboy job, and this video I didn't even know existed came on.
And, if I'm being honest, that was probably the moment that R.E.M. became my favorite band.

I waited for your call

Are driving me away."

I totally agree. And especially for a band whose complexity and murkiness were part of the early appeal.
I think one of the first things I ever asked you about Nelson Mandela, and I still think about your response constantly.
What a deeply complex thing the world is.
I think I found it.
In 1984, I cut this page out of a magazine and put it on my bedroom wall.
Ladies?

Oh, thank you, Andrew.
We all have a lot to learn!
In 2001, Pedro Pascal made a memorable appearance on "NYPD Blue."
