Spitball Army

How very sad to have this great band break up, though it very nearly happened several years ago, at least once.

I’ve been revisiting some of the R.E.M. albums the last few days (my favorites: Lifes Rich Pageant, Automatic for the People, Around the Sun…yours would be different).

Here are most of my favorite songs from the R.E.M. catalog.
