So when did EotWAWKI go from being an obscure REM tune that got no airplay when it came out, to being their most frequently played tune?


Cause it rocks!!    8)

That's not a time!


I meant to say "When lots of people realized that it rocks"    :wink:

Ahh, yes.  All right, I won't bust your chops any more.  HM for Julian Cope ( :? )

I recall it getting LOTS of airplay when it came out.

BOS3 Julian Cope. Dave rallies in the second half!

BOS #2 Julian Cope, this is more like what I remember from 1987.  Of course back then I was listening pretty exclusively to 91X in San Diego & KROQ in LA.

Some thoughts on the replay:

Dave must have some deep associations between the music of the Finn brothers and his mournings over AIDS all those years ago.

But damn if that organ solo on "Don't Dream It's Over" didn't take a cue or three from Three Dog Night's "Out in the Country."

And it's always odd to hear "It's a Sin" on pop radio; it was the first song I can ever consciously remember realizing on first listen that it was about sexuality and further realizing that much of the listening population did not get this fact.

Happy Birthday, POC!


Let me add my belated birthday greetings as well.  It's about time you caught up to me a little bit.

And in lieu of a present, here's a pic of a Judy you haven't been yet: Judee Sill.  I know little of her music, but she looks like Nash Kato of Urge Overkill:

That's one of those I can never keep straight, like "John Prine" vs "John Hyatt."  I still can't tell you which did which.

I'd never thought about that -- it always seemed clear that it was a gloss on Procol Harum, "Whiter Shade of Pale".
