The Peak, week of 6/11/12

[RGMike]

Mon 6/11/12: 1989

REM, TP, U2, XTC, Cure, Todd, Wire, Henley.

"Cosmic Thing" may actually be worse than "Love Shack", but it's nowhere near as overexposed.

Definitely worse: Anderson, Bruford Wakeman etc, "Brother of Mine". (damn, this one was endless)

Wire?  Which one?  Eardrum Buzz?

I remember hearing that on Live 105 in 89


ETA: yes, it was Eardrum Buzz.  Nice pick.  I also like The Want of a Nail ny Rundgren in that set.
