let's talk nostalgia
you may or may not know, but i had a low-to-medium-grade obsession with REM for most of my adolescence. it waned a bit in college, and fell off almost entirely after the album "UP" (and let's be honest; i'm just not sure i ever quite got over the exit of bill berry. i heart him and his divine unibrow).
but finding this...i may have some catching up to do.
and i should probably get my turntable out of storage.
