Woah...that's some shit. Well. IT was fun while it lasted.

floatingslowly · 09.21.2011, 01:48 PM

I was going to post a thread entitled RIP REM but quickly realized that I didn't give a fuck.

well, that's not entirely true....I had a minor chuckle over the preposterous notion that anybody cared, but quickly moved on to headier subjects such as "is Hollywood starlet such n such really bisexual"?

protip: she is

EVOLghost · 09.21.2011, 01:55 PM

Woah! Who's Bi? COME ON SPIT IT OUT@ DAMMIT!

the question is "split into what"?

knox · 09.21.2011, 02:04 PM

yes, reveal was the last one for me but still... great band.

Gulasch Noir · 09.21.2011, 02:14 PM

Orange Crush! I like to youtube this on parties. I have two albums of them: Monster und New Adventures in Hi Fi. Both good records, if you ask me.

how dare you sir! they where at the cutting edge of alternative rock, never stopping to push the boundaries of rock n roll.

If it's true then it sucks. I'm not that big a fan, but you have to respect that bands integrity. That seems rare nowadays to an old curmudgeon like me.

But what does it matter anyway if they weren't making anything anyway? When is the last time that you bought one of their records? (Me: never).

It's like saying that the Roman Empire has disbanded or that p4 processors are being discontinued.

Oh-uhm I've been playing too much Civ II lately. But you get the idea. It's a non-issue. Unless there is drama and scandal and I missed it.

The question that should interest Bono-hating boardies is "will U2 follow"?

(correct answer: who cares?)

Them sticking around would matter in terms of being role models for other music makers. Then again, any band might need to consider retirement in due time to avoid kicking a dead horse.

I'm ambivalent in other words.

This sucks they were one of the last huge 80's indie institutions that was still active and relevant (Accelerate kicked ass!). They were kind of a beacon showing you could be on a major label but still do things your own way and make great music.

The fact that something this beautiful became a hit speaks volumes.

Big deal. They had stopped being any good nearly 24 years ago.

dirty bunny · 09.21.2011, 04:47 PM

New Adventures in Hi Fi is a good album to listen to now and again. But most REM albums are too bland to bother with in my opinion.

I always knew she was bisexual.

nah. Their 90's albums were good. Reveal was good.

Its a tragedy, they got progressively more relevant after each album they did
